    Towing Experience In PIU- Notes after 1400 miles

    I wanted to report my experience after towing around 3,500-4000 pounds for 1400 miles in my 2014 PIU with a OEM(after the fact installed)hitch hauling a 6X12 U-Haul trailer. My hitch height was around 2FT, and it was pretty balanced, and felt steady during the trip with only feeling any issues...

    My phone supports usb dongles, and this one allows for charging and two USBs out. So I got a cheap usb c to USB a and hdmi out adaptor with usb power pass through.

    That's Bluetooth. It passes your phone audio to the device and the device to the stereo via fm.

    Seat Swap Airbag Question

    I think I am closer to figuring this out. I think the issue is that my seats likely came from a 11-12 model which had a different seat tensioner system. I think it will likely mean a rewiring of the harness or having to put the old seat back or make a mismatch of both seats either by...

    See my thread if you have an android tablet around or you don't mind buying a third party android device and running it off the dongle.

    Seat Swap

    I think my issue is that the seats I got are from a 2011-12 model which do not have the tensioner. I guess I am either to swap the leather into the piu seat or find a way to adjust the harness.

    Seat Swap Airbag Question

    Curious if anyone could help me with this one. I have replaced the seats for the car, and had the light come on since day 1. I wanted to know if anyone had made a change to the passenger seat. The new seats appear to have a different mount ( Floor for the PIU vs Seat level) where part #6...

    How I got a cheap solution to my Sync woes.

    Here are the pics on the car, happy to say the tests and operations were nice and easy. The Bluetooth works well and for the most part it looks clean enogh. I would give it a 7/10 versus a new install.

    How I got a cheap solution to my Sync woes.

    I found the cable and connector in a junk yard, but have no idea how to plug and program it. I was actually running out of ideas when I began to contemplate having two stereos, and mounting a unit on the speaker area which is flat, since many of the cheapo units are pretty small and lack a CD...

    How I got a cheap solution to my Sync woes.

    100% where mine will go once the car is back from some errands. I wanted it to look as oem as possible, since I dont want anyone breaking a window for the phone. I think this passes barely looks wise. I also wanted something properly fixed to the dash, so I glued, reinforced and ziptied any...

    My 2014 PIU Mod list-So far and on the way!

    Have you considered dipping it? Personally, its the cheapest way to fix the leaks and get a uniform paint for little to no money if you do it yourself?

    Here are some links in the meanwhile to clarify some of the elements I was talking about: CD via Aux: - Nearly impossible, spend 2 hours trying to figure the schematics on the CD unit (Pioneer). Also attempted the mod of making the antenna a aux in, and it was not compatible. The Miracle...

    How I got a cheap solution to my Sync woes.

    Like many of you, i have been unfitting my PIU. One of my biggest gripes has been sync, and the small screen issue of not having many cheap options to go aftermarket. I tried for a year or so to find the best solution to my problem, even considering a dual system since I did not want to buy...
