Thanks. Than I will get it on-line shop.
I just wanna see the real thing in case I need to buy other stuffs for fitting my in-dash carputer.

 

oh ok, yeah you wont be able to see it in person for a while, unless someone on here that lives close to you gets it installs it then you could see it if you drive to them, other then that for seeing it in person before you buy it probably wont be possible for a few months maybe

 

all rite... so im getting confused now lol :D, so is this kit better than the corksport 1 now or wat?, cuz i read on 1st page the amb temp and stuff on the oem bar thing doesnt work and controls on the steering wheel doesnt work... then later in the pages they said it works so wats the deal??? :D

 

That was just speculation on the first few pages. Read through the entire thread and you would know that they display functionality is kept, you can add your own text to the display, plus the fit should be better than the corksport. Not to mention a cost of possibly 1/3 of the corksport.

 

There's a nice huge picture on the first page. It describes everything. I can't believe you missed it.

 

i dont think i missed it maybe just blanked out :D thx

 

Ever since I installed the Corksport kit, my temp display has been worthless...delayed readings instead of actual realtime readings...but that's just one man's experience...might be a fluke.

 

Don't respond to posts made in June... we've already established that the metra kit keeps amb. temp. display.

 

I've had no problems with delayed readings. Not really sure how you would even notice a delayed reading unless it's maybe 60 minutes delayed. lol

 

I've had the same thing happen with my corksport... dont really care what the outside temp is since my AP tells me my intake temp and my phone gives me weather

 

Damn, it's been that long we've been waiting already.... sigh.

 

Even if you have a cold air intake (which I do) your intake temperature is not the same as the outside temperature. It is normally 2-10 degrees F higher (with a CAI). However the AP should be able to pull the "Ambient Temp." from the ODBII which is the same as the temp. readout on the radio.

 

my point being that the amb temp doesnt concern me when I'm in a car with AC and heat. The amb temp is only important to me while driving in so far as how it's effecting my intake temp.

 

Yeah this morning I was getting cold cold air.. it was NIIICE. But seriously I would want to know the temp outside to laugh at the people here in SoCal that doesn't have AC.. hehehe

 

so does the kit allow the controls on the steering wheel work?

 

Yes for you it's fine but pple that live in colder area's and I have to worry about frozen roads I like my AMB temp gauge. And AMB has nothing to do with intake or well maybe for most pple that use it anyways.

 

for any kit you'll net the pac swi module.. can find it tons of places for pretty cheap

 

LOOK! I found our friend THOMMINO in this Italian rx forum.

Ya.. slow news day.

 

lol,i dont know what the hell they are saying tho lol

 

I just made an account and posted

 

he should just buy a corksport and be done.

 

WHY WHY WHY... it is not out yet.....
Tired of waiting.....

 

repost a lot of us are. but its worth the wait.

 

anyone heard if corksport is going to lower there price since metra is coming out with a cheaper one?

 

They seem completely oblivious to the idea. But honestly if their margins are like 25% they sell the kit for around $400.. At cost it would only be $300. Which is still $100 more than the metra kit. Now if their margins are more like 60% then they can probably sell it for around $250 but I seriously doubt this. -You see the Japanese are pretty greedy people. And with the economy at $1USD to 104JPY it wouldn't make sense for them. Back when $1USD was 140+JPY they would probably consider it. Blame it on globalization and the failing US economy!!!!!
