Awesome, brotha! Finally fixed my lighting today with my cousin. SL65 rims match the car much better, even though you added weight...LOL.

What information are you looking for? The cradle part number? I'll have to get that for you when I get back home. But, I think you can find it somewhere in this forum because I am sure someone has posted it already.
The 3G cradle looks almost exactly like the 1st generation iPhone cradle. Almost no difference except the iPhone 3G fits perfectly in the 3G cradle. And another difference is that the phone does not need to be docked in the cradle to connect to the COMAND. The bluetooth works without the phone in the cradle. The only benefit of the phone being in the cradle is that it charges and can also connect to the multimedia connector. This part I am still working on rerouting.

got it. so does this basically hook up to the radio and play music from my iPhone or is it a fancy way of charging my phone with no wires?

It will connect to your COMAND to allow for a handsfree telephone system. It will charge your iPhone and it will allow you to play music from your iPhone if you can get the cables to connect to the iPod system. I am in the process of testing out the last part and will post more info once that is completed.

This past weekend I had a chance to work on the iPhone 3G cradle and iPod kit more. I was able to route a new adaptor cable from the iPod kit into the iPhone 3G cradle. Now I can stream music from my iPhone as well as charge it and have the phonebook download. I can even play music through Pandora and it will come out the audio system. Pretty cool. It's like having satellite radio.

ok, i had a dyno tune done today by SpeedInnovation...
for a recap, i have shorty headers, RENNtech pulley, magnaflow mufflers, resonator deleted, 2nd cat deleted, 3" piping, 3" x-pipe, K&N air filters on my car...
since i don't have baseline dyno, SI started by putting stock ECU file on it to measure tune gains more accurately...
and the verdict is...
480.92rwhp with above mods and stock tune
522.34rwhp with above mods and custom SI tune
that's 41.42rwhp gain with ECU tune alone!
my car is now pushing 637hp to the crank and my goal was to reach 600 mark...
this is achieved without 80mm TB and/or camshaft mods...
huge thanks to SpeedInnovation!
the entire process took roughly 3 hours to complete...
off topic: i once had ECU tune by "different tuner" for a short period of time...
just found out today that they locked my ECU...
it was no biggie for SI but who would lock a customer's ECU without them knowing??
anyways, i am so happy with the result and it was worth paying extra for the dyno time... done with engine mods... only OEM mods left...
