    What do you think is the cause of your increased mpg?

    It increased when I replaced the engine water pump. That was a couple of years ago. My car has over 200k. The MPG is not so great now. Average around 40-45 mpg.

    Hello everyone. I have not updated on my post lately. Just for continuity, I finally had my car serviced at HybridPit in Buena Park, CA. Lucky enough my son had a baseball tournament in Orange County that week.

    These have already been posted on the HybridPit post but will post here anyways.

    Engine Bay has not been this clean for a very long time. Feels like I just picked it up from the dealership, 10 years ago!

    Same setup. My daily driver. Just trying to keep her clean and running.

    Just a lot more maintenance for this workhorse!

    Did not want to deal with the headache of opening up the center console. I decided on a portable unit for Apple CarPlay.

    Dual Bluetooth connection is stable and so far so good.

    Seriously? You pull a few panels, then 4 nuts and the radio is out....

    To each his own I guess. I would find that thing creating a big obstruction/distraction on my left side. I like the cleaner in the dash look myself.

    I’m sure there is more involved but I can always take this off when I’m done with it.

    Definitely cleaner without the big screen but I like the benefits that it had to offer. To each
    His own.

    Shifted the Apple CarPlay the most I could to the left. Less than a quarter inch clearance from the side window.

    Definitely an upgrade from my outdated 5 inch Garmin that used the same mounting space as this Carpuride.

    I am able to monitor more live data, without having to switch displays or settings.

    @Xterra72

    Glad you got those, I was thinking of getting multiple of them too but my wife likes the handle on her side.

    Might do both in the rear later.

    I like mine and glad you like them too.
