Default My 1st DIY

Okay so it was really easy but hey it was my first. I updated the maps to the new 2012 maps. Forums saved me, I would have never known about the two tools in the trunk. Once I finally got them in all the way the thing just popped right now with a little help from the screw driver. I have to admit I was afraid I was going to break something if I pushed them in all the way.

None the less it is done! Now is there any firmware updates? Or does this just update the maps?

I also got my 60k kit in, which I am a little past but hope to get that done this weekend. I also heard my Joez intake should be shipping this week which is awesome. Can't wait to install that.

I also just got my Viper alarm installed and should have that complete when the shop gets the right PKALL ordered. That was a $1,000 that just killed my pocket.

Holy smokes this car is going to be expensive but I am loving every minute of it.

congratulations on your 1st DIY. Mine was the interior LEDs. I love doing anything to the car since then but it's hard to justify the spending to my wife so I haven't done much so far. I have Joe Z intake and LEDs and caliper paint and that's about it. But more I think about it, I am trying to buy a house next year so I should cut down on spending.
