It looks like the only way to kill hill holder is to reflash the ECU. :cry:

So, there's an electronically controlled clutch brake?
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Unless you're talking sound quality the speakers should provide more than enough volume at any speed. If you're streaming Bluetooth make sure you have the volume on your device set all the way up, or it will kill the output.

The hill assist is indeed annoying. I've been living with the VW's which was a huge PITA; if it makes you feel better the Miata's is relatively well done.
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

I'm assuming it just brakes the front wheels? Is there a way to hack it and turn it into a linelock for burnouts? :lol:

Pretty sure it engages all brakes.

Turning up the volume isn't great for the ears. ;) The G37 had really large headrest speakers. More frequencies carried to the passengers without needing to crank the volume.

What size are the drivers in the headrests, or where are the mids coming from?  Mess with the EQ at all?

Nope.

Were you the most distinctive car in the group?  And was most of the group "work trucks"?  Because it's pretty well known that if you're driving a "work truck" spec pickup, particularly a heavy duty (3/4 or 1-ton), you pretty much have a free pass to drive as fast as you want on the highway.
