re: key quieter. I wouldn't call it "getto" or "ricer", but it does look pretty horrid.

I then modified the stock bezel to cover gaps , as the touch screen is smaller than the hole left behind from your radio. Alternatively you can have a doubledin aftermarket style frame with buttons, but i was after a OEM look.

Including software (with NAVTEQ GPS maps and bluetooth) it was $500 (given i already have a PC btw).
This includes many additional parts like wireless portable keyboard, usb GPS, usb bluetooth, automotive interior microphone etc

that looks terrific, really nice job.

Lame, a keyport is not unique. Better watch out for those stones you throw coming back at your glass walls. Complaining in this thread is certainly not very unique ;-)

Some of us have remotes and transponders to worry about the keyport doesn't cut it. But Legacy keys do...

90lbs of bondo? Lol


Going to sick once it's all cleaned up!

[dangerousatom]

Hah....there is actually like maybe a 1/16 of an inch of bondo on the whole thing....since it hollow and fiberglass.

Nice. Once it's all finished and secure you should post a pic I want to see it

[dangerousatom]

i use one for all my keys, even has a flash drive.

Nasioc these days is really disappointing me. makes me sad to own a subaru. sure i went through my rice stage. but really people. if your going to change your car, at least make it better and save yourself the embarrassment when you go to sell it.

Wow you suck at life. How is that close to any solution? I have my ignition key, lock key, house key, and tool box key. All keys I need every day. Buying that cheap pos with a flashlight I don't need, a flash drive I don't need, doesn't solve anything.

agreed. that guy was not having it...

anybody want to share how to install or fabricate a boost gauge somewhere ? trying to avoid the a-pillar mounted ones or dash wart ones.

[12sechatch]

I like the idea of that 'keyport' and I think it is a very useful solution. If it only had 'lock/unlock' buttons....

it does the job for now haha; i'm in the process of going completely keyless (ie proximity, push start etc) but till then, this works, and is actually pretty invisible, i had to tone up the photo just to get it to show

you'd be hard pressed to see it on the column if you were a passenger

re: keyport = not unique and doesn't solve anything because the alarm fob still has to be connected to the keys (to be convenient), which means it'll still bang against the column.

Someone with a white wagon put a few thermometers in the car, get some readings...then do it again, but this time with a black vinyl overlay on the roof. Idk, sounds like a cool science experiment to me.

Yeah I'm interested...

Sounds like easy science to me... black attracts heat so therefore with black top you should be soaking up that much Moar sun ... which means a hotter car .. but its basically for style.. and since Lexus and scion are now producing them off the lot its neither unique or different ..

[amcn831]

Tesh: it could use some R&D, but I do know the exact annoyance of keys hitting the column. Just need to make it a tad cleaner.

Yeah, same with the new beetle, one of the priuses/priui?, and some audis. I guess because the color black has a lower albedo it should heat up the car. Plus its hotter because racecar.
