    35 on the back sides and rear window, 50 on the front sides, nothing on the windshield.

    Your button looks really good, what did you do to it?

    I also heard concerns about the steering wheel controls not working and the FM radio not working, what have you discovered?

    Haven't used bluetooth for calls or anything like that yet. Just streaming music and sometimes that lags for a second but it's pretty rare.

    No issue with radio FM or AM if anything its better than my stock radio was in that regard.

    My steering wheel buttons programed no problem but the folks that mentioned having problems with that were going from a different oem unit than I did.

    My only real problems with it, and they aren't huge, are the boot time and the fact that it won't let ODB2 apps use bluetooth dongles. (I'll need to order a wifi one) and I knew about both of those issues going in.

    Not sure I could handle seeing my car coated in road salts! I don't miss that. Make sure you flush lots of water from the top to the bottom of the car.....

    If I get home early today and the hose isn't frozen anymore, I could possibly give it a shower. But looks like tomorrow is gonna get salty again, lol.

    Perspective illusion in that top pic...that rear wheel looks really small and tucked in there. Had to scroll back up and do a double take :LOL:

    We really need to trace the source of those. everyone asks. @Ehtisham Raja you bought them off a member here right? I'd assume @bino. Where did they get them?

    Busted a few knuckles today but installed my Prius Plus "Front" Sway Bar aka RAV4 FSB to finish up my under carriage suspension mods accompanied by Mike's Braces, Plus RSB and Plus Springs.
