On a similar vein, what's the part number for the USB and Mini plug module for Sync? Hopefully, I don't have to replace the whole console to do it.

Mine doesn't have it, either. I am going to have it done when I redo the tint on the windows.

:shades: :shades: I may take pics of my HID install as well.

Items needed for the initial interior treatment a) Vacuum cleaner: I personally have a shop vac I paid $32 bucks for and it's good for general vacuuming of vehicles. Terrycloth wax applicators: Those are excellent when applying leather cleaner and conditioner as well as protectants. c) Protectant: If you get one, make sure it has a high UV rating to protect the vinyl on the dash. I recommend Lexol's Vinylex or 303 for that purpose. I also may use the Vinylex or 303 to treat the tires as well. d) (For Leather Interiors Only) Get a good leather cleaner and conditioner. Recommendations are Lexol, Zaino, Pinnacle, Einszett and Leatherique. e) Microfiber Towels or newspaper for glass cleaning. You can get Microfibers at Wal-Mart for a reasonable price or order from the links I have listed above. f) Glass Cleaner: I try to stay away from ammoniated glass cleaners because of tinted windows. Ammonia tends to interact with the mylar in a negative way by ruining the coloration and (sometimes) the material itself. Recommendations: Eagle One 20/20, Stoners Invisible Glass, Sprayway. g) Plexus Plastic Polish. Use that for the gauge windows and the radio windows. I also recommend that if you have a wood dash kit.

Items needed for the initial detail a) 2 Buckets: The reason I suggest using 2 buckets is to reduce swirl marks and/or spiderwebbing. You fill one bucket up with car wash shampoo and water and the other with just plain water. After washing an area with the shampoo, take the mitt and put it in the bucket with the clear water so that all of the dirt particles will sink to the bottom of the rinse bucket and your mitt will be clean for the next application of the car wash shampoo. Chenille Wash Mitts (One for the lower body, One for wheels/fenderwells, One for upper body). The reason for this is also to prevent swirls. The lower regions of the car will have more dirt and tar than the upper regions. It takes one dirt particle to get caught and you can easily have scratches/swirls on your car. c) Car Wash Shampoo (I personally use Meguiar's Gold Class) d) Clay Bar e) Carnuba wax (e.g. Meguiar's #26, P21S, S100) f) Polymer Sealant (e.g. Klasse, Blackfire, Zaino) Most polymers have a cleaner to allow for easier bonding of the sealant glaze. Bear in mind, these will last up to 6 months or more dependent on environment.

I wrote this for a Maxima forum I moderate and thought I'd share this with you guys. One of the most frequently asked questions in my detailing experience is whether or not it is proper to detail a new car. I used to share the common thought that detailing a new car was nonsensical. But in all honesty, the answer to that question would be a resounding yes. The main reason for this is that cars are assaulted by different things in transit and storage. You have items such as rail dust (small specks of metal that come off of train wheels and bond to a car's finish), industrial fallout (depends on the area), bird droppings, fruit/tree sap....to name a few. This thread is designed to answer the questions about detailing new cars and outline a procedure that will give you a shiny vehicle for years to come. The first part of the procedure is NEVER allow the dealer to detail your new car. Many times, dealers will swirl the heck out of a finish because they are using too aggressive a pad or polish (sometimes both).

Lex, that's good news. I should be getting my 6000k kit tomorrow and I will post the results as well.

I briefly entertained the Z3 because of the voice command capability. What's the sound quality like? What kind of speakers are you running?

Is there a possibility that my Edge SE could be pre-wired for foglights? The reason I am asking is that I had a different car that I thought would have taken a LOT of work to install fogs have the wiring already in place ('94 Maxima GXE) and I am wondering if Edges are the same way. If so, I am going to have fogs installed.

I just ordered my HIDs and will get back with you when they are installed. I got mine for $240 (H11 and 9005) with digital ballasts and harnesses with relays and without relays.

I am going to double check this as insurance for my HID install.

When I was at the Ford dealer yesterday, I saw a rear view mirror that had the display for a backup camera built in. This is a factory Ford part but is supposed to be only for Expeditions, and F-Series pickups. Just wanted to give you guys some food for thought.

Will there be a tune for 89?

This is what I am putting in the Edge http://www.eclipse-web.com/avn/avn6620overviews.html

I just got a quote for the 20x 9 &Swiss SW-2 for $950 a rim.

I got a close look at an Edge with Sync and the mirror. There are around 6 smaller wires. I need to see a wiring diagram to see where each of these wires leads and what they go to. I also got a quote on the mirror itself and they said $450. Worse yet, they said it may not be released until June/July (May scheduled date).

The HID kit I am ordering has digital ballasts as well as two different harnesses (one with relays and one without).

I have the same questions. Mine will be an Eclipse.

Which is the thick one and which is the thin one?

I am about to make the plunge into HIDs as well. I am going to purchase a set of 6000k HIDs for the Edge (H11 and 9005). The only thing I need to find out is where to put the ballasts.

ks: We will definitely be sharing notes. I have already started figuring out the wiring for that mirror in comparison to the mirror that is already in our SE. The difference I have seen (felt) is the third wire which is thicker than the others. That third wire is the wire for the BT mic. Comparing it with the Parrot that comes with the Eclispe, the wire feels like the same thickness. Additionally, there is a fourth wire. However, I wonder where that wire actually goes once it gets into the headliner. This is where a wiring diagram would come in VERY handy. I am looking at installing an Eclipse AVN-6620 in our Edge and it has the Parrot Bluetooth with it. I want to take the Parrot Bluetooth and splice it with the Sync Mirror.
