I've had the car for over a year. Just realized it had telescoping steering wheel a few weeks ago.

I made the video more for forum members cause I've seen quite a few "Locked out of trunk treads" pop up. When explaining how to fold down the seats I get the confused look. So that's how the video was born.

But I understand your logic. I'll put the video to private then.

If a thief is going to take the time to Google that. Your stuff is getting stolen no matter what you do....... keep it as is I say. Its useful to more non theifs then theifs.

You can turn the headrests around backwards to accommodate a track day helmet.

I know thieves would eventually figure out to do that(or get in the trunk another way), but I think it would be best not to give them any pointers.

One other thing regarding the trunk - If you unlock and start the car with the valet key, the button on the dashboard will still open the trunk.

This might seem obvious but some people might think that just using the valet key will keep the valet out of the trunk. You need to disable the electric release by pressing the button inside the trunk.

That's where I learned about the hood mount. The other handy thing I learned there was that there's a built-in pass through in the firewall for gauge lines.



Also, for those who are interested in adding an oil gauge but don't want to add a sandwich plate under the oil filter, there's a handy oil gallery hole right next to the throttle body where you can plug in your sender. See this thread for pics:

This is true for the North American market. Foreign markets have solid rear rotors on their low-spec cars.

This is true. I was only speaking to NA vehicles.

So... on a 2014 with the Smartkey / push button starting theres a way to leave your keys in your pocket and lock the car door without pushing the lock button switch on the interior door panel. On both the driver and passenger side exterior door handles you'll find these two little dashes....close the door, press on the dashes and your locked If ya toss the key in the car and try locking it you just get a beeeeeeep....it wont lock from the outside with the key on the inside

This may be an aftermarket mod, but I am pretty sure it comes standard with the limited package:

Where exactly in the trunk?
