Other features and things:
-eSID3 for added guage screen functionality and tap for 3 blink signal
-BT Changer for tunes, replaces SiriusXM unit
-Replaced every speaker w/ OEM Bose set from my previous '07 9-3
-ECU heat shield+spacer
Few fun facts:
-Night panel: shuts off everything but the speedo. Other guages and lights come on if the info is necessary to convey (ie low fuel)
-The glovebox is fuckin huge and air conditioned TCC_ayo
-The LK9 Ecotec lacks cam position sensors, ECU just figures it out from whichever cylinder fires first
-Knock detection is done through monitoring secondary current from the coil packs/spark plugs. No dedicated knock sensors
-Ethanol content detection is done without FlexFuel sensors
