Yeah...I've learned to do a lot of research on my own, even after speaking with a so-called professional. From watching shows like Pimp My Ride, Unique Whips and Trick It Out...I've seen you can do what you want to do with a car. It just depends on how far you're willing to go to make it happen.

I received my 07 control from Dream4Uka yesterday and installed it today. It matches and operates perfectly as you all posted. I am indebted to you pioneers who were so helpful in providing all the necessary details of the installation process.

jnd17

Hello grayfox. Could you please send me an email on your installation of the 07 Control. I would greatly appreciate it. The direct e-mail to forum members isn't working. My e-mail address is jndamico@worldband.net. Thank you, JoeD

RE 336
Take a look at the Azera Audio forum. There are detailed instructions from several owners

Thank you, got it!

Do a google search on wood trim. There is a company that sells the 10 piece.

pat

You can tell us the name of the company.

grayfox

Thanks Jack but I have tried many wood trim sites and all I seem to find are 6 piece kits. Were you successful in finding an 8 or 10 piece kit?

cdmuile

I couldn't find the site either. I have the 8 piece kit. I don't see where the other two pieces would go. Would like the web site. Thanks.

RE342
I believe that the other two pieces go at the bottom of the small windows toward the rear. I'm not sure how it works.

grayfox

CD, where did you buy the 8 piece kit? How much if I may ask? The other two pieces would be the triangular ones toward the rear of the rear door window. If this one is in your kit, then the other two pieces would be on the forward part of the little window aft of the rear door.
Bob, I assume the triangular piece is attached with double sided 3M tape like the other parts.

floridabob1

RE 344
I believe that it is, but unlike the other pieces, it covers a rubber molding

cdmuile

The kit was $85. I ordered it from Ebay. Pay Pal sent the payment to Hakimov, Inc. in Brooklin, NY. The order was shipped from MobileNations also in Brooklin. The two triangular pieces have the 3M backing just like the other six. I haven't put them on yet as the temperatures here in Iowa have been zero and below for the last week. The pieces look to be very high quality....very substantial.

Hello.

Does anyone know how (or where to find) to change the display units on the trip meter?

I'm moving the car to foreign country and thought changing distance and temperature to metric unit would help.

Thank you!

FYI
I bought a set of pressure caps which change color as you describe - but I had one of them fail at freeway speed resulting in a seriously damaged side wall on the tire.
At first I thought I'd had a blow out as the tire was completely flat, however I discovered the tire was intact (side wall was worn though) and the flat was caused by air leaking out of the top of the pressure cap thru' the small venting hole.
IMHO this particular brand of pressure cap (Accu-pressure) should be recalled as they increase the risk of a flat.
I've now ordered a WTPMS RT320G and have removed them.

BTW this happened on my 2003 911 Twin Turbo - fortunately I was only traveling at circa 70MPH.

Accupressure have offered me a full refund on the caps - big deal !

Regards Tim

RE: 348
Sorry to hear your bad luck.
I have not experienced any kind of problem with mine, but my son brought up the possibility of that happening since the cap must be holding the valve open to sense the pressure.
I have made sure that the caps are snugged firm to insure that the rubber gasket is in good contact with the valve stem. I was not aware of the venting hole that you mentioned.
Based on your experience I will consider removing them as well.

tforrester

I had done the same as you - ie made sure they were correctly seated and sealed etc. This is vital as they do have to hold the valve open to work. The failure mode appears to be the internal seal within the pressure cap itself which then vents the pressure to the outside world via the small concentric vent hold in the plastic. I was suprised how quickly a small leak was able to deflate the tire.
The worrying thing is that I routinely check for 'all green' before driving off and within minutes the cap had failed without any warning.
I think the concept is fundementally flawed and have since removed them from my other two vehicles as well.

YMMV - literally !

RE: 323
All kinds of good stuff.
Unfortunately none of the pre-painted items are available in Sage Green, as it is not a color available to the Korean market.

floridabob1 -

I probably shouldn't be doing this since you said my floor mat should say "New York Yankees", but I guess you're really not a bad guy since you own an Azera.

I know you have been looking for a grill without the "H" logo in the color Sage Green and have been unable to find anyone that sells one. Here is a Korean website you may not be familiar with that sells the grills for $99.00. I put a Pearl White grill on my Azera.

www.kdmstuff.com/shop/step1.php?number=565

Here is their statement about colors.

- Comes painted in only Korean OEM colors (Contact us if you need to paint them in other colors)
- Color comes in NW(White)/Z9(Christal Silver)/S7(Silver)/N2(Peral White)/H9(Light Beige)/F9(Dark Purple)/G6(Pearl Gray)/EB(Black)

Since they mention the ability of providing other colors, you may be able to get a grill factory painted in Sage Green for a nominal price.

It may be worthwhile contacting them.

floridabob1

RE: 323
Thanks for the tip. I will give them a call, however each of the other sites that gave the same type of message told me that they are no longer providing "outside" painted items, such as grilles and sideview mirrors. " Too many claims"

Love the look of your Azera ( wheels and antenna ). I'm doing the same to mine, but before the shark fin antenna goes on, I have a concern as to whether it may get knocked off in the car wash, with possible scratches to the deck lid, etc. Can you comment on this?

allmet33

Thanks for the compliment.

I can answer that question emphatically...the antenna will NOT come off in the car wash. Since attaching mine...I've been through at least 4 car washes, both touch and touchless and the antenna doesn't budge. However...make sure you prep the install area with rubbing alcohol and let that fully evaporate before adhering. Also, make sure it's on for at least 24 hours before going through a car wash to ensure that the adhesive has fully bonded with the roof surface.

The sharkfin antenna I have wouldn't be able to scratch the paint as it's made from a very pliable material. While it is rigid, it can be bent without breaking.

gamleged

Mine's been through at least 8 car washes and still holding on. The narrow front has lifted a tiny bit (least amount of stickum there) but that's not affecting the overall cling...

allmet33

One thing that would help is a clear bead of silicone caulk. Then water wouldn't be able to get under it at all. With my car being black, I'm gonna see if I can find some black caulk.

grayfox

Hello Jack Sprat.....I just finished looking at 27 pages under google wood trim and have not been successful at finding a company that sells the 10 piece chrome pillar set for an Azera. Would you please identify the company that sold it to you? Thanks.
Grayfox with tired eyes.

cdmuile

I'm a little confused about the "shark fin" antenna everyone is talking about. Does it actually improve AM reception or is it strictly a cosmetic item?

gamleged

For about $8 on e-bay, you can find a "shark fin antenna" fake antenna that does absolutely nothing but look good. Think BMW...

I just checked and the price has gone up a bit, but now they come in three colors, silver, white and black!...

tinydog1

I purchased a 10 piece chrome pillar set from edashkit.com.

The accessory/trim site "Soeulfulracing.com" seems to have disappeared. No web site...emails not answered...no faxs. Anyone who ordered from them better check it out.

Grayfox, edashkit.com sells a 20 piece chrome set for the azera.

grayfox

Many thanks for the feed back Jack. I checked in with edash on line and found the kit but four of the door pieces are already on all Azeras and another piece is a gas cap door cover. I called them and asked if they have the 10 piece kit but no luck.
I'll keep looking.

floridabob1

RE: 366
Why would anyone want a chrome gas cap door cover on an Azera?

jack_sprat

Ok - so I can figure the 8 pieces that you want (all currently in the 20 piece package) - what are the other 2 pieces ? Where do they go. Or does the 20 piece have the 10 you want and you just dont want to pay for the extra pieces ??

grayfox

Jack try this URL. Half the kit contains parts I have absolutely no taste for. They fit on the gas cap door and on the door handles which already have four of the extra ten chrome pieces.

https://ordering.sitestinger.com/EDASHKIT-COM/

jack_sprat

Grayfox, I know the site - its the same that you get to from edashkit.com. The question I have for you is , do 10 of those 20 parts meet your need for a 10 piece or is some part that you want missing. I am guessing that you could definitely use 8 of the 20 - right.

allmet33

What do you think of this upgrade? The only thing I'm not wild about is how the ring sits inside the hi-beam light cylinder. However, the cylinder for the lo-beam light and the turn signal light looks to be the same size, but...would an angel eye kit look right on the lo-beam and turn signal lights???

RE: 371
My opinion is that it a little over the edge.

allmet33

I would have expected that from you Bob!

floridabob1

RE: 373
Can't help it. I don't think it's a "luxury car" look.

grayfox

Jack, you are absolutely correct. There are at least 8 and maybe 10 parts out of the 20 I would use. I am not sure I would use the triangular parts for the rear door. That decision would follow installation of the first 8.
As for the door parts, 4 are exact duplicates of the stock Azera door pieces. I think the remaining door parts don't add much and might be an overkill.
I have dealt (sadly) with nyc dashes and tbeir affiliate companies (like edashes) and I am not sure if I want to buy from them again. For the price they ask, I would be trashing a lot of green.

RE#241. I was wrong about the wiring in my 06 Azera. I disconnected the connector from the mirror to the door wiring and found the needed LED wire was in the door wiring. I ordered and installed the LED mirrors from Dream4u in the matching color. The whole installation took less than half an hour and my car looks like an 07. I really like the safety feature the high directionals provide.

Grayfox -

I'm very interested in adding the LED mirrors to my 06 Azera Limited. I would like to do the work myself. Could you share with me the specific steps I need to take in getting the old mirrors off the car and putting the new ones on?

Besides the specific steps, did you have to remove the interior door panel? If so, how do you do that? Was there any wire splicing necessary? Or is it as simple as disconnecting a connector and plugging in the new connector and the turn signal on the mirror works?

Any info you can provide on the specific steps would be appreaciated.

Thanks for your help.

grayfox

ZREDSOX: My Azera was assembled on 19 Dec 05.
To remove the inside black triangular mirror cover, I took a putty knife and inserted it between the cover and the painted door surface. Next, I inserted a screw driver between the cover and the knife. There are three mounting points for the cover, one forward and two toward the back. It just pops off. No need to remove the door panel.
Next, you depress a tab on the wire connector between the door wires and the mirror wires. The tab was on the outboard side and not much extra slack in the door wire half of the connecter. You just gotta fight that one. Depressing the tab releases the mirror half.
There are 11 wires in the mirror half of the connector. If you see 12 wires in the door half, the extra one is the LED connection. I checked mine with a voltmeter to confirm before I ordered the mirrors.
All you need to remove the door mirror is a 10 mm wrench to remove the three mounting nuts. The wire slips out of the hole in the door as you remove the mirror.
The rest is downhill. Enough istruction?

allmet33

I would agree there to a degree, but...who said I'm going for the luxury car look? With the mods I've already done, I've got a few people that think it looks like a BMW...I figured why not complete the look a little more!

floridabob1

RE: 378
What ever rocks your boat.

zredsox

Grayfox -

Thanks so much for the guidance. Now I'll order the mirrors and go from there. If I run into a glitch, I'll try to catch up with you then. I really do appreciate the info and glad I don't have to take the door panel off.
