When you turn the car off and you have the radio on it continues playing. We all know that but did you know when you open the door and it shuts off, if you hit the power button for the radio it will turn back on.

(Sorry if this is a repost, didn't want to read thru all the posts.)

If you reverse the polarity on stock RS Halos they will turn red

Best thing you didnt know in this entire thread! ;o

I have discovered a few things as well. 1st, when you reset the oil life monitor you can do it with the turn signal lever and menu screen on the DIC per owners manual, OR you can pump the gas pedal three times "old skool" with the key on and the engine off. 2nd, with a manual transmission there is no reverse gate unless you have the key ON. 3rd, if you pull back on the turn signal lever and hold for three seconds while stoped with the key ON, Megan Fox will pop up in the passenger seat!

Only the opening of the drivers door will turn off the radio when the car is turned off. If you happen to be sitting in the passenger seat with the radio on for some reason; maybe seeing what their view is like, and take the key out and get out the passenger side, the stereo stays on for about 10 minutes.

Just a side note on this one, most all newer cars have a little arrow on the fuel guage that points to what side of the car the gas door is on.

If you are listening to music from a playlist and you can control it with the source, just turn the right knob and it will let you select tracks from the playlist instead of having to hit back and all that junk to get back to playlist.

I'm not sure if it's just me or if it happens for everyone else, but the louder I turn up the music, the faster my car goes.

I just went out and bought a 2011 Siverado Quad cab Z71/4X4 to carry my road bikes to the Triathlons!

you can set the maximum volume when the car starts, 10 is the default i believe.

So you have both the inflator kit (no spare) and a jack and tire iron?
Yours a 2010?
When you get a chance could you post a pic of how that fits under the carpet? My dealer wants $130 for the jack... not willing to pay that. Maybe get a aftermarket wth would work and fit??
