Yeah, that pretty much confirm this credit card key is not going to work for me. We have a MDX that automatically lock the doors when walking away from the car. I'm so used to this feature that I do it for my GS too, sadly it doesn't have this feature. Many times I inadvertently walk away leaving the doors unlock. So I make a habit of turning around to check that my mirrors are folded, if not, I simply click the button on remote to lock. Not having the remote and walking back to lock the car would be a major PITA! Enform is useless because it's so slow plus the subscription is expensive for what you get.

my brother's pilot does the same. To me its normal cause my car before this didn't have the feature and I had to lock it manually anyways. Like you I look at my mirrors to see if its locked and while I still have enform the app tells me when its been left unlocked automatically.

45k service, replaced a couple of fuses for 12V and seat heaters, and replaced the OEM front brakes with Powerstop Z23. I only have about 80 miles on it, but so far, so good.

Got my 2nd service done today. First time it's been washed in like 4 months and they actually did a pretty good job. I normally only wash it myself but it was too dirty to resist & I really didn't feel like doing it.

So where did you get it? I've been wanting to try that out on my Liq Plat, but the ebay seller is out of stock. Lots of others for IS, RC, etc, but I'm not sure they would work on the GS. Can you post a link to your seller/vendor?

Thanks!

So CLEAN, headlamp light just straight refracting!! Quite possibly the best color on the 4GS IMHO

Put the sound generator back on today. Much less boring now, feels like it has its character back. Definitely more fun

Where did you get these? The seller that had them on Ebay has been sold out for months.

How much does this end up costing? Does it work with 2015? I lost my second set so this may be an option.

If you don't want to publicly share please PM me.

Technically not "done today" but I'll be installing it this weekend. F Sport carbon steering wheel with matching red leather and paddle shift. Great job Elvin!

Elvin does amazing work. I have a full CF shift **** from him. I'm leaning towards getting a steering wheel too.

I've been thinking about that too... now that I've started giving up the grandpa-driving style, I was thinking a little more "vroom" sound might not be bad...

I can't imagine taking it off to begin with.
