Dayton Audio for rear speakers is way better than Bavsound

I think most of us already knew that. I just did the install today and the only mod are the fastener holes since they don’t align with the OEM Phillips Speakers. A little before and after. If you haven’t done the job it’s a lot to disassemble, but well worth it.

Adjusting speedo needle accuracy

I've only noticed this recently but the speedo is about 8mph off, or 10kmh off at every speed. The pixel display was replaced by the previous owner, so I assume the needle has come off for that repair. Is it a simple case of remove the needle and reposition it 10kmh further back to make it accurate again?

I've checked the accuracy with the on board readout for speed (Test 9 I think?) and it is consistently 10kmh inaccurate at every speed.

Best ISTA version for E38

HI Team, anyone know what the best version of ISTA is for the E38, I have read that later versions dropped some compatibility/detail? Is it better to get an older version, if so which? thanks

Manual seats to Power seats swap

Hey fellas! I’m swapping my manual facelift seats for a pair of power, pre-facelift seats.

Main issue: There’s no power at the floor-side connector.

My car currently has manual, heated seats with the yellow connector.

The donor seats are powered, heated seats with the black connector.

I crafted an adapter, so connecting the seats to the floor plug is not an issue.

However, upon measuring @ floor-mat connector & fuses for both front seats, 12V power was nowhere to be found.

Has anyone done this swap and if yes, what am I missing?
