This was a busy weekend!

- Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ installed
- Oil/filter/airfilter/cabinfilter replaced
- Alignment check done
- Puny stock battery replaced with something that actually has some cranking amps
- Sony XAV-AX100 installed to replace the factory Pioneer AVIC-X9310BT that was the unicorn install 2013 Canadian BRZs received.



Install went pretty well, but since this was basically already an aftermarket installation, I had to remove the existing adaptor wiring harness, steal the antenna adaptor and parking brake adaptor from it, and solder into the Sony harness.

Ended up with some follow up work though:
- The factory USB port extension to the glove box is defective/incompatible, so I have to go back in and replace it. Will probably relocate USB to center console since I have the Toyota UK armrest
- Thought the Pioneer and Sony mics both used 3.5mm jacks, but I was wrong. Have to go and properly wire tuck the Sony mic and remove the Pioneer.
- Going to pull the Pioneer GPS antenna. With all of the bundled parts, I'm hoping to be able to get a few bucks for it used.

Absolutely loving the Sony head unit so far, so much easier to use, has Android Auto, and I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality.

Stock size, 215/45R17. 91W.

I'm happy so far. Don't have many miles yet. I've started the thread linked below and will be updating with impressions as I drive the car more.

I'm going with 245/35R18. Hopefully pics tomorrow.
Unfortunately I won't get a chance to really drive it for a couple of weeks.
