#9195 of 9235 K&N Air Filter by ahightower Apr 26, 2008 (12:25 pm)
Got my K&N filter today. The stock filter was not very dirty yet, but there was a coupon in the paper for $10 off at Pep Boys, and I'd been wanting one for a while. Only drove a few miles, but as with all my previous cars, I notive a definite improvement in low-end throttle response. Starting from a stop seems much easier and smoother. Hopefully I'll get a little boost in mpg too, and will report on that after a few weeks. Replies to this message: nvbanker (Apr 27, 2008 9:42 am) ahightower (Apr 28, 2008 11:21 am)

Replying to: nvbanker (Apr 27, 2008 9:42 am) I haven't noticed any additional noise. I have the 3i with 2.0. Have others noticed something?
#9198 of 9235 Ipod Integration Module by dpeimer Apr 28, 2008 (12:45 pm)
Does anyone know anything about the Ipod Integration Module? I just purchased an '08 Grand Touring and was curious about this option. Does it enable you to control your ipod with your head unit? If so, is the interface any good? Is it worth buying or should I just stick with using the AUX jack to control my ipod.   Thanks!

Replying to: dpeimer (Apr 28, 2008 12:45 pm) To me I use the AUX jack on my ipod nano and ipod touch. It works great. You can use the steering wheel controls to skip songs and volume. Replies to this message: ahightower (Apr 30, 2008 5:06 pm) maltb (May 13, 2008 8:56 am)

Replying to: x5sav (Apr 30, 2008 7:22 am) I use the aux jack with my iPod classic. None of the steering wheel or head unit controls work, except of course for volume. I am unable to change tracks or anything. Not sure I would pay extra for that ability, it's not too much trouble to pick up the iPod itself to change tracks. My wife has a nano, I'll see if it does anything more with hers. What I would like is the type of connection that will charge the iPod while plugged in, although the battery life on the classic is pretty impressive. But on a longer trip I may need to get a car charger.

#9202 of 9235 3i Touring vs. 3i Touring Value by cvirden May 13, 2008 (12:02 pm)
Does anyone know the difference between the 3i Touring and 3i Touring Value models? Replies to this message: ahightower (May 13, 2008 6:27 pm)
#9203 of 9235 Re: 3i Touring vs. 3i Touring Value [cvirden] by ahightower May 13, 2008 (6:27 pm)
Replying to: cvirden (May 13, 2008 12:02 pm) This was posted a couple months ago. The 3i Touring Value Edition has replaced the 3i Touring - 3i Touring is no longer available.   Changes include piano black (rather than faux wood) dash applique', 17" (rather than 16") wheels, leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob, color-keyed grille (rather than chrome accent), and fog lights. Basically looks like a 3s but with the more economical 2.0 liter engine. I also think the ABS/SAB/SAC package is standard whereas it used to be optional on the 3i Touring.   Overall, a pretty neat package, for only a few hundred bucks more. Personally I like the faux wood in my 3i Touring, but I would have loved fog lights and the leather steering wheel. Also I really dig the 17" wheels, but I would not have wanted the stiffer handling and more expensive replacement tires. I'm happy with my 16"s, they look nice and are a step up from the 15"s with plastic wheel covers on the base 3i sport model.   (They also added a few new colors 1/1/08, including a really sweet shade of orange-red and metallic blue. Mine is galaxy grey metallic which I truly love, but I probably would have gone for the blue had it been available - oh well!)
#9204 of 9235 Sunlight Silver by sandman46 May 14, 2008 (9:43 am)
When we got our '05 3s the wife really wanted the Titanium color as it was called then. It's now Galaxy Gray like my Civic. Dealer could only locate a Sunlight Silver car for us and when we drove up to look at the color, it just blew us both away...really nice looking especially when fully detailed. We never looked back and still love the color to this day. Must admit, Mazda does make a nice car...nice to look at and crazy fun to drive.   The Sandman
