New BRZ arrived. Was delivered yesterday. First wash today. Tomorrow Performance Package wheels will be installed. New larger brakes, possibly Performance Package Brembo's are next.


Performance Package wheels are essentially new. Previous owner removed immediately after purchase and sold them to me. Will be ceramic coating those this evening! Fun begins with the new machine. Very impressed with the BRZ!


The wheels as you see them on this photo will be available for sale. They will have about 60 miles on them when removed tomorrow.

I do not see a light bulb glowing inside. It may be hard to find a real one, but just 60 watts keeps the inside dry and nice over long periods of time.

Also wondering this: how's the latency if you compare directly wired CarPlay vs adding in this wireless adapter?

Personally I’d just keep an extra cable and swap it in for long drives. Wireless is good for when I’m running to different errands and in the car for 10-15 minutes, get out, do errand, come back to the car, repeat. That way I wouldn’t need to keep pulling it out of my pocket and plugging it in, plus vice versa.

Why not have a power adapter from the glovebox through that cigarette lighter port?

Why not just plug 1 cable into your phone and be done

I agree with you; they want the wireless shit, not me! But I provide the solution for what the customer requests, if there's a way to make it happen.

I mean at that point why use Carplay at all when you can set Bluetooth up on your phone and have a holder on your dash or vent?

Lol.

And just play music from your phone because apparently the factory sound is crap unless size matters
