What are you running for tires? I found the same thing, my Primacies were about 50% worn (evenly) and once I swapped to Pilot Sport AS3+ tires the wandering disappeared.

All in good fun, friend . . .

By the way, I also have the DD Always On module, and sure enough it's always on. But, the boomerangs seem weak to me, like 50% or so. Is it just that daylight makes them so, and they seem brighter at night, or what? I know the SUVs bearing down on me at night with their Halloween jack-o-lantern LEDs sure look much brighter than mine.

Got any insight you'd like to impart?

David.

Parts arrived and I finished up my head unit install! Really pleased with how it turned out.

- USB port mounted in the center console under my armrest for Android Auto.
- Got the old mic removed (had to cut it out :/ - Subaru ziptied it like crazy to the side airbag wiring harness in the pillar).
- Ran the wire and permanently mounted the new microphone.
- Foam taped all the wires, connectors, and HU bezel surround to kill rattles.

Nice. Did you steam it, or just clean by hand?

Sprayed with almost a whole bottle of Simple Green Motorsport, let it sit for 5-10 mins, then sprayed off with a hose. Used a rag on 1 or 2 spots but for the most part Simple Green did all the work.

Are you popping a film of light oil on to inhibit any corrosion/oxidisation?
