Well, it does help a bit. Thanks! Apparently you're a better web searcher than I am...! :thumb At least that looks like the older unit that everyone in this thread was talking about/using. But I think that particular one has the connector/cable for installation at the back of the radio head...

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread. Last night I got tired of sacrificing a CD or two to the CD changer in my '04; when switching discs, it will periodically try to load the next disc in sequence without successfully removing the one already loaded. As you can imagine, this has a...

True. Still, given the law of averages, it seems like a disproportionate number of these particular rarities have ended up there. Eh, I guess we now all know where to start looking if we're in the market for one of them...! Yeah, I'd have to plan to attend a bit more in advance. I'd need to...

Cool! That's not an ordinary vehicle trade I would think, but interesting nonetheless! I don't know what it is about Ohio, but it seems like many of these rare paint color cars wind up there at some stage... Mine, along with Aztec Gold #14, was part of the extensive McDorman Collection...

Ah, wonderful! Yeah, that C4 would be a keeper for sure, I think! I'd love to hear the back story of how you stumbled onto the car, apparently somewhat unwittingly! It seems like sometimes the cars find us rather than the other way around; that was the case with Aztec Gold #15 as well...

Hello! From one rare color owner to another! :w Your introductory post intrigued me; I wasn't aware of another such paint color rarity among the Corvette generations. If you haven't done so already, you might read this notice published on the Corvette Action Center about another of these...

Got one pretty similar to what you're describing; haven't turned it on in years... I only have the thing because my Dad insisted I have it for traveling long distances in the days before cell phones... I can try turning mine on here in Texas and see if I can hear you talking from Oklahoma...

Wow, Mike! Very cool recreation of the Corvair Motorama car! :thumb It's a shame GM never went to production with it; I kind-of prefer the styling of it over the early roadster C1... Good luck with the sale! Wish I had the funds to buy it from you!

The hood light definitely times out to prevent battery drain. I've noticed on my '04 that sometimes the gravity switch (for lack of a better term) inside the light housing will stick in the "OFF" position and it takes a bit of a jolt to loosen it so that it will move to the "ON" position when...

Indeed! And it doesn't matter that there are 50 other empty spaces around your car; the jagoff insists on being right next to you -- with 49 empty spaces surrounding both vehicles... :hb

Fortunately, I've kept the paint on my '89 Formula in excellent condition, so I was able to skip any restorative products and go straight to the wax stage. Glad to hear it! Yeah, there's no denying that my natural mental processes tend toward engineering... ;) I try to do that too, but...

Haven't tried their wash & wax yet but I'm sure it's good. A few weeks back I tried their Gold Class polish on my Firebird and was really happy with the results; it seemed to give the 29-year-old paint a nice glow! So I polished up the '04 Vette with it last week and was just as happy with the...

Yeah, I'm not surprised. I've never been a fan of ArmorAll. For some reason it's become the market standard for that kind of product, but it's really not the best product in that market segment. I've generally gravitated to Meguiar's products; I've been using their Gold Class leather...

303 Aerospace Protectant Just to follow up on the final step: I applied some of the 303 Aerospace Protectant to the airbag cover today. It looks much better now; the color blends much better with the leather on the steering wheel. The instructions on the bottle tell you to spray it on, then...

OK, after picking up all the recommended cleaning supplies, I finally found some time tonight to give it another go. The results were pretty satisfying. First of all, if you're facing this chore, don't waste your time with any other cleaning product; go straight for the Goof Off HD. Frankly...

Early on, that thought (replacement) crossed my mind; I just wasn't sure if there was anything else to do. But given I'm currently unemployed -- which means I'm short on cash and long on time -- I persisted in the online research and decided to resort to some of the suggested cleaning methods...

OK, I did some more snooping around on the Interweb... First of all, I was incorrect; the airbag cover is not rubber, but a vinyl plastic; so I grabbed my bottle of Goo Gone and gave it a try. It didn't seem to do much except smear around the black, gummy residue. In fairness, it did remove a...

Hmm. Well, I have a bottle of Goo Gone and almost tried it; but the label specifically stated it was not for use on (among other things) rubber... Maybe I'll try a small spot to see what happens with the Goo Gone... It's odd that it would develop in my car, given I've never applied ArmorAll...

Has anyone else encountered this? I was cleaning up my '04 the other day and noticed that the rubber cover of the steering wheel airbag was covered in a sticky residue; it actually appears that the rubber cover is deteriorating. I tried cleaning it with water that had a hint of soap in it and...

Actually, my hearing is quite acute; and these types of ear plugs are quite good at attenuating only certain frequencies -- like most of the high-pitched shrill you get from aircraft engines or the drone of P275's on the road -- while still allowing a good bit of the rest of the frequency...
