Question new need some awnsers

hey i just got my rx8 and i have some questions about some things since i think the dealer might be tring to pull one on me. let me know if it just the norm and i'm not used to it.

1 GPS - isn't it suposed to turn the radio down whan it says stuff like turn ahead and what not?
2. what feels to me like alot of heat comeing from the center console exspecialy the shift boot area. normal?
3. a lil clunk noise whan shifting in first and second.
4. traction control. still spins even on wet roads and i'm talking blow it out sideways spin
5. i can swear i smell oil inside the car.
6. engine idle isn't really smoth. kinda rough when sitting in idle or in gear. first rotary so i don't know

that's all for now. heading to dealer tomorrow to get it looked at so any input would be more than welcome

1) i believe it is only with audio pilot on. (gets annyoing anyway, just keep it off)
2) normal
3) normal (we call it bolt-action shifting sometime)
4) you are flooring it too hard, (TCS could be not working though)
5) yes, you can sometime smell oil
6) go get msp 16 done, tat is all, and it could fix rough idle.

Ditto. Get the flash done - amazing idle. If that doesn't fix it see if you VIN falls under the motor mount replacement TSB. All TSBs can be found at http://finishlineperformance.com/sto....php?pageid=11
