Chedman13's FX45 -> Handy_Andy = Winning

andy, it's not hard to seperate the lower door panel from the upper and swap those parts around, there are melted studs holding them together, easy to seperate and can be screwed back together with the right screw and washer... you'll figure it out when you get there
John, thanks for your suggestion. I was thinking along that line of too, but that means I have to do 8 doors. :eek.:
 
Awesome. If there's anything that 45 needed, it was more mods... :)
 
Also late to the party. Happy it worked out for both of you, & Ed, the VDub looks very plush. I like it for what it is.
 
Start the transformation this evening. Got the four doors panel swapped.

Nice progression! All this work in will be so worth it in the end. It's already unique! I don't think Diamond Graphite had Brick as an option, did it?

Andy, some of your neighbors might think you run a chop shop lol.

Don't be surprised if you notice a van parked outside of your house eventually! :hahaha:

I'm pretty I saw a 03 - 05 Diamond Graphite with Brick this morning on I-290 around Mannheim. It doesn't have a roof rack neither.

So cool Andy, brings some color to the color scheme!
Ed, what is the toggle switch next to the VDC switch do :smile (2): Is that the auto pilot or eject toggle switch? BTW, I remote started the car with 2 presses on the Audiovox remote this morning. :top:
 
It changes all the street lights from red to green.

It's the switch for the PIE Nav/TV unit, to turn it on/off so you can stream video to the front navi screen. I never finished hooking it up, it's tucked back underneath the steering column/foot well. You can find the cable that leads to it.

You can connect it to your Droid to watch movies.

It's connected to the Navi screen already, I forgot where I left off. First world problem for you to finish=)

Nice, yes, remote start works. Now you just have to buy CarLink and plug/play since wiring already done.

Man I was hoping it is the Red --> Green light switch. :smile (2): PIE Nav/TV is cool too :top:
I bought the Carlink last year and have not been able to get the remote starter to fire up on the 35. Now, I can use the Carlink on the 45 :top:
 
Wow, what is not in the 45? Is there a bottle chiller somewhere in the back? I would love to see the NAV TV work, that's something I would love to do eventually.
