New car prices are ridiculous right now. And most people are finding out when their vehicle reaches 5 years old, manufacturers stop supporting/ updating the tech. Instead they want you to buy another vehicle.

I`ve seen a rise in demand for head unit upgrades, but you have to be able to integrate with factory features like steering wheel controls and factory back up cameras and sensors amd provide reliable phone connection like Android Auto / CarPlay.

I like using brands like @kenwoodcaraudiocanada @pioneercaraudio @idatalinkmaestro @metraelectronics and PAC Audio to deliver seamless integration and reliable performance.

Client brought their AMG GTS for simple lighting upgrade. Got to drive it and it shows how enjoyable a dialed in chassis with 500HP shows you can have a fun and sophisticated car and moves efficiently.

I like cars like this because they`re classy and don`t look for attention. And it`s usable power, no drama. Just smooth and quick.

Super grateful the amount of small businesses that gives us the opportunity to upgrade their fleet vehicles. All of this is referral, no sign, no lowest price, no cold calling to get the job.

It`s just trust and patience that makes this happen.

Been diagnosing more malfunctioning devices and you`d be amazed how often it`s a factory ground. This is why I`m so big on cleaning the metal and spraying with a corrosion inhibitor like @fluidfilmusa to preserve the connection.

Had a Chevy Colorado I found the ground behind the engine air filter caused the blower motor to no operate. You don`t know how they design these harnesses because production speed is a factor in design.

Doing this will ensure functionality and potentially save a lot of money.

The engineers that designed the GMT800 were really thoughtful. Lots of space and the intention for owners to be able to service with basic hand tools. We swapped the radiator, serpentine tensioner and belts with relative ease thanks to the engine bay layout.

Which is amazing since new trucks are larger and taller, but have less space under the hood? 🤨

I used to have an IPad flushed in the cabinet but it wasn`t the greatest efficiency tool and I think it`s a bad idea to have a device with a lithium ion battery enclosed like that. I have a Maus fire suppression stick there but I don`t think it would extinguish thermal runaway and I did charge it on a timer so it would only charge a couple hours every day.

Found the trend of electronic calenders (which is still a tablet) but the O.S. is designed with efficiency and task management. Picked up @cozyla_calendar because it`s Android based, works with my Google home, streams music to my @sonos ARC and has no subscription. Has no battery and a simple powerful way to automate the home for lists, chores and entertainment.

This one was fun. Replaced the factory amp with @jlaudio_ MX500 4 channel setup up as a 3 channel to drive the front stage through passive crossovers and the tailgate dual voice coil sub woofer. Used the head unit to drive the small speakers in the rear and sliding door and used capacitors to filter out bass frequencies. It`s really clear on the factory speakers and very robust and compact.

I`ve installed these @dormanproducts 800-409HP fittings from @lordcoparts on 4 trucks in the past 2 weeks and absolutelyove them. They look fantastic and won`t blow up when old like the O.E. ones. If you have a GM truck, you need these.
