slick Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 So I got a question, did your factory radio have the feature that when you used your SWC's, it turned the radio volume knob along with it? And if it did, did you lose that feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yes it did!! The motorized volume knob was awesome! And yes, the new radio does not have the motorized volume knob. But I still like it better!! EDIT: Here's a video I took of the volume knob awhile ago! lol here]http://gsregal.jbarbieri.net/Other/MOV02215.MPG]here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Then this swap is a total failure! The motorized knob totally owns RDS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 HAHA! I'll miss the knob, but I suck at getting song names. So I NEED the RDS!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I about shat when I sat in a Park Avenue (same radio) and saw that the goddamned radio knob turned when you hit the SWRC... how ridiculous, the effort they put into making it do that has got to be better spent making the pot digital...

digitaloutsider Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 So you absolutely need a Tech-II to configure it? =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 If it's unlocked already it should work. Shaun, you really should buy THIS radio. It's a perfect candidate for the swap!! I'd buy it, but I don't need more radios!! I'm sure you can find someone near you who has access to a tech 2.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Fuckin' A that thing went for dirt cheap. Sorry I missed that post. And no, I really don't know ANYONE with a Tech-II! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hmmm... I guess you could take it to the dealer and have them unlock it for you. I'm sure if you explain exactly what needs to be done they might do it. It really depends on the dealer. And yeah, that radio did go cheap. Slightly cheaper even then the radio I got. And I NEARLY bought it too!! But I resisted and let it end. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
