dude I literally made an account to bitch about this. My cars a 2010 but its the same thing just two years better. ANYWAY, this sh*ts so annoying I swearta god. I gotta push that sh*t in like Hercules or some sh*t. and it don't help when I'm driving some bad jawn around (not that it happens often) and the goddamn thing won't start. The only good thing is people probably can't steal it cuz nobody knows whats up with it. my escapes the best one out there don't get me wrong but sh*t can't it just start without all that extra sh*t?
