Too cute, Jeff. Of course we'll have none of that here. Temps expected to hit 60 today. Sheesh! It feels like springtime here.

Heh same here, it's been mid 60's all week. Although taking my sportbike out in January didn't exactly make me sad.

But you're the only one to have the problem with the degree to which you have it. (What in the heck did I just say?

Yikes! I forgot to switch the wipers to winter! Don

I'll bet you haven't discovered the fall position yet. That's right - if you place the control switch halfway between summer & winter, then push the dash light brightener button on the stalk, the plastic windshield cowl will pop upwards, and from beneath the left wiper will emerge a little robotic arm with a pronged tripod-like gripper. Then, by rotating the intermittant wiper control (it takes practice), you'll be able to grip wet leaves that the wiper can't reach, & deposit them away from the windshield. Oh - the leaf is released by pressing the CD eject button. You won't find this feature in the manual. I'll bet it was deemed too radical for the average motorist to comprehend. I just got lucky fiddling with all the buttons, I guess.
Have fun, Ron.

Not to worry, nevermore. If you connect the mauve wire from the original harness to the puce wire of your new player, then press the alarm activate button on the dash while simultaneously pressing the shift lock button for 5.5 seconds, release, then say "I divorce thee" three times, the feature should now be active again.
Glad I could help - Ron.

Yes you were! Good thing you didn't accidently activate the ejection seat....

That is a really pretty svx

I just changed my wipers but I really do not think I need to. When should I turn them back?

Hey, it really works!

Careful though. Microsoft may have put a back door in there. (My wife would dig the heck out of that.)
