  1. SiriusXM’s 360L Will Come to Hyundai and Genesis - Radio World
  2. It is my assumption that your radio now has Sirius XM 360L as a result of the update. This is the most recent update that combines streaming media with satellite radio on one convenient platform. Radio World reports that Hyundai and Genesis will be carrying the SiriusXM 360L.
  3. There shouldn't be any negative impact on you when the lease is up. As with any other warranty repair, or even professionally performed body work. The competence of the repair shop is my sole worry. I have no reservations about taking my car to a reputable body shop in my area for a respray. They may be able to achieve an even more precise colour match than the factory when painting metal panels and plastic bumpers. On the flip side, though, terrible painting... Perhaps things won't improve much from where they are now. The repair shop is up to you when it comes to collisions. However, how that relates to the paint defect warranty repair is something I'm not clear on. Must it be a particular store? Does any store belong to the "Mazda Collision Network"? You might also try selecting a store and getting their stamp of approval. Seeing the shop and their work is a must if you have the chance. Most reputable businesses are pleased to show you their office and the finished products because they are proud of their work. (If you give a general area, maybe you'll get some recommendations for stores that people here are familiar with.) Concerning the inquiry as to whether or not other people are experiencing the same problems... The CX-90 in our driveway is the only one I can speak for, but the paint job is amazing. As far as I can tell, it is flawless and devoid of any flaws. Reflections barely show any waveform. The painting is of exceptional quality. However, their vehicle production is in the thousands. On occasion, some will inevitably experience problems. It might be related to surface preparation or contamination in your situation.
  4. Retaining her is more economical! The engine is in good condition and has plenty of mileage remaining, and a $600 repair expense is negligible nowadays... however, the problem must be identified initially. It is likely merely a SINGLE component rather than the entire front end.
  5. Disabling the transfer case results in a lack of power to the front wheels. You should inspect the front differential and driveshafts, as they are significantly more prevalent than the transfer case. A transfer case replacement is exceptionally straightforward. Both propshafts should be detached, followed by removing a ring of torx bolts (E12, if I recall correctly), allowing it to be pulled directly off the rear of the gearbox - secure the output shaft to the gearbox with a cable tie to prevent it from sliding out and spilling a significant amount of oil. Detaching the exhaust simplifies the process. I can extract one within an hour, using axle stands.
  6. Does the order for the two parts include them under a single part number?
  7. At this distance, I can not see anything substantial that could render a claim null and void.
  8. I don't have much experience with the W204, but I went from the Elegance to the Sport version of the CLK (which has the same suspension as the W203) and it went well. I replaced the springs, shocks, and spacer pads everywhere. There was a difference in bolt size between the front ARB and drop links (Elegance M8 vs. Sport M10, I think). For me, it was a matter of opening the ARB's holes with a 10 mm drill; nevertheless, you may discover that you require a new ARB, bushes, springs, shocks, etc.
  9. Even on a single panel, my previous e90 would have struggled to achieve a machine shine. "Painted cold?" a man said.
  10. Complete aftermarket TPM systems are something to consider, along with the possibility of obtaining OEM sensors and adapting them to fit your car.
  11. My 2002 model is still going strong and is set to hit 200,000 miles. If you want to get lunar miles out of your BMW cbs, check the service record for any additional oil or filter changes; that's how you do it.
  12. A 2000 Millenia was the first sunroof-equipped vehicle I ever purchased. For more than two decades, I drove it about with the sunroof open "some" of the time, but rarely. It was completely trouble-free for me. Sunroofs are standard on all three of my Mazdas at the moment. My 2006 Mazda3 is the eldest, and on sunny days I open the sunroof on a frequent basis, especially on the commute home from work. There has never been an issue; in fact, I have never given it any special attention in terms of upkeep. Because I couldn't care less about having a sunroof, I had planned to get a base model without one when I purchased my 2020 CX-30. Unfortunately, the top Premium model was the only one available in the colour I really liked—Polymetal Grey. I now have a second sunroof. From time to time, I've opened it without any problems. I just purchased a CX-50 with a sunroof. I have owned it since mid-December, but I haven't driven it 2,000 miles yet. I think I've opened it once. Oddly enough, the sliding panel seems to just lift up and slide outside beyond the fixed panel in the back. Its slanted position made me think of a spoiler. I don't really need a sunroof most of the time, but it does add some comfort and I've never had any issues with it.
