Most responsive for best price on the market. Gets real bright at night so I bough some gray plastic sheets that theatre guys like EW put over the theater spotlights, then cut multiple pieces to fit over the LED display.

I honestly dont know how I drove a car without one of these.

Glad you like it! I've tried out several and this one is the most responsive and uncluttered.

I began the process today of removing all the previous stereo install to get it ready for a fresh install of new gear. I also got rid of the blank switches near the cup-holder and replaced that part with one of the 3D-printed 'cubbies' you can buy from eBay. Cheap little mod, but I like it.

...the stereo though...that's going to be an adventure.

Got in my car to go to work and the car won't turn over. Radio and whatnot comes on and you can hear the alternator but it never turns on. Tried the fobgina and tried another set of keys that wasn't the issue.

I'm worried that the radio and electronics work which leads me to believe it may not be the battery. Unless there isn't enough battery to start the car. Also the brake is locked and won't depress.

It'll be interesting to push my car out of the one car garage and up a slight incline that way I can jump it...

Sounds like your starter failed.

How can you hear the alternator, when it's not spinning? You might be hearing the fuel pump prime.

How many volts is showing on the gauge?

Brakes are "locked" bc the engine isnt running. If your power is fine and your car sounds like that when you attempt to start, the starter is dead. I wouldn't jump it unless you're going to a mechanic - unless you're sure you can get a jump at wherever you're trying to go
