No, Bill, I haven't been following it. Frankly, I am a bit skeptical
about the benefits of such modification.
As to the coolfoam (tm) subsupersonic stealth tweeters behind the
grilles on the S6 door panels - the left one now houses the little 3.5"
speaker which I have yanked out of the old speakerphone and hardwired to
my Garmin GPS, so that it now gives oral directions.
Damn, I've been away from the List for so long that I don't think I even
posted the GPS installation procedure. :)
