It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

you have to remove the glovebox door to reach a couple of screws.

Open the glove box & grab one end of the door near the pivot. Push the door toward the oposite pivot/hinge (in the direction of the arrow). You have to push quite hard & the door pivot will pop out of the dash.

I used a long skinny screw driver and was able to get an angle on it. I was lucky, mine wasn't very tight.

You can slightly bend the the arms that stop the box from coming down all the way. all you have to do is push down on the carefully and at the same time apply a little pressure as if you were trying to open the glove box allthe way. that should help you get to the those screws a little easier.

That's a switched power lead going to my Roadangel (GPS camera / laser detector). It's on a magnetic mount on the dash so I can just throw it in the glovebox when I wanna hide it.
