Surprising things you learned about the SC long after buying it

I got the refoaming kits from Amazon.
For all three speakers, I think it cost me maybe $40...total.
Brought the system back to factory original sound (which is pretty decent...for a factory system).

I went a whole month before I realized there was a wood trim door that covers the ML sound system and that the little button right above the ashtray opens and closes it.

just spent over $700 to repair a door dent put in by some inconsiderate ***. I really think in some cases it's done by an envious dimwit. One time, while exiting a grocery store I saw a woman empty her cart and then push it hard toward three empty parking places across the aisle and send it crashing into the side of my car. When I confronted her she said "it's only a car. what are you going to do about it?"
Being the commanding officer of a sheriffs department I took her by the shoulder, turned her around, cuffed her and called for a cruiser to transport her to the county jail. All that frozen food! Too bad lady.
She got 100 hours of community service and had to pay full restitution for the damages. For some reason I felt much better.

If you are driving down the freeway doing 55 MPH and shift into reverse, the SC is smart enough to not actually shift the transmission into reverse.
However, if you have added a rear view camera, you will get the rear video on the screen.
No, I didn't do this on purpose. It did take a few seconds before I figured out what had happened. Seeing the rear video while going forward at 55MPH was a bit disorientating.

Simple work around if you have a camera that is activated by shifting your shifter into reverse.
Just install a 12 volt switched feed to your camera and when ever you want to see what is behind you while driving forward just hit the switch. Works for me

I know its an old thread, but I thought I'd answer this to close the loop.
I have a 2008 also...and the Nav system is a Gen 4.....and no, the override doesn't work, and they haven't fixed it even with the latest map upgrade (13.1).
My solution: I carry a spare Garmin as a backup...
Great thread BTW!

OK, how about this one. How you randomly open the garage door 2 or 3 times a day just to have a look at her sitting there in all her glory. Just got my 07 out of winter storage yesterday so I might be a little over emotional right now.

Here are my SC430s in the garage, with hoods up since they are connected to battery minders.
