Might as well start adding value as well as content...

I’d request that you label the Applicable model/year(s) and a title at the top of your posts here. I’ll try to trot out an example shortly...

I did a transmission protection switch one as supplement to Merlin's in Rennlist. It's around here somewhere. I'm one too many bloody Marys in to look for it right now

Aftermarket Radio Head Unit Install - 2012 Cayman

Found a helpful truck.
The door lock button just above the center console has a lighting wire that you can use to set day/night since there is no wire in the harness.

Factory head Unit used the CAN bus for that signal.

I had to replace the windshield washer filler neck on our Cayenne and it ended up being one of the easiest repairs I have ever done on a vehicle. I wish they were all like that!

Replaced the brakes on the wife's S450.
Saved about $2000. (Was going to credit towards the lift.)
Found a bad tire that is a sign of a bent wheel.
Cost is going to be about $1500.
