Yes, I've an analog and antiquated mindset. 10 CDs in memory, or 1billion on a stick. LOL

I am curious about ICTP... I got it set up, but I'm still having trouble connecting the car. Not sure it's worth it as so many options are legally restricted, like rolling up windows or top remotely, etc.

 

For posterity, peltier cells: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Thermoelectric_cooling
That is awesome, and I am thinking I could rig something like that to help reduce the general ambient temp of my wine cellar.

And my dense, coffee-deprived head is not understanding the second sentence in any way. LOL I think you are leaving bread crumbs for me to figure out how to fix it, but I couldn't even debadge my car without help. LOL

 

My research suggests the compartments storage "clip" would fail, the storage door would fall open constantly. It was an annoying warranty issue, so they deleted it. It's a lazy solution, considering they had a warranty fix. So i am not sure if what I found was the "real" reason. But storage is so needed here, it's a surprising lazy twist. But, we've also got cup holders in the way of the stick shift, so quelle surprise.

 

Actually, a number of those 'lockable stowage compartments' were not assembled properly. When I got my car, any time I locked the car, the storage door would fall open. Not exactly what I'd call 'lockable.' But that was just on early cars, I think.

Peltier cells are basically heat pumps - they move heat, depending on the polarity of the applied voltage (and how much they move is dependent on current.) For it to do something useful, you have to have a way to evacuate the heat from the other end of the cell (heat sink, fan, etc.)

 

My wool may in back is wearing like iron and is looking like new. The front sport mats in front are indeed getting worn (30k miles) but still plenty of life left. Never installed the wool mats in front, but will use them when the others are done for. Got the premium mats (OEM) on eBay when I first bought the car.

 

Maybe a change of footwear?

 

Interesting how many different rocker panels there are. This is either 3 or 4 different ones.







Also, the different gills vertical, horizontal, SVR, and 2019 gill removal:

 

I made a quick video of the updated infotainment. Hope it's not too droning or annoying.
