Hey...

Please resize your humungo-sized pic, I'd hate to have to moderate it due to excessive size. Is the dealership going to make good on returning your radio to the as-before condition?

Thanks
Eric

Ship it to us, dealers do NOT have the right software to do this. They will end up putting in a 5 channel calibration which will eventually fry the radio yet no one seems to listen when I tell them lol the "standard model" config is a 5 channel radio file for some reason. We have fixed many of these lately...

I pray and hope the dealer did not mess with my radio while I had recall work done(Picking it up later). I put big sign by the radio to not touch it. I was one of the first to get it programmed.

You'll probably be better off going to Chris' web site and emailing him there:

This work is his 'weekend job', so you may need to wait until later in the week to communicate. Can't hurt to try now, though.
