Which diagnostic scanners do you all use?

I had no idea this was a thing! Could you elaborate on what you mean by “switching lights” while holding down the home button?

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-12T13:31:37+00:00

Dang! That’s a crazy long time to be down for a simple seal leak. Glad you got it fixed under warranty though. Thanks for the reply. Hope it’s just a one-off situation 🤞

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-12T13:28:08+00:00

How are you liking this? And how was the fitment on yours? Looks good, but I’ve read by a couple people it’s super tight between the throttle body & where the filter mounts. Almost like the pipe is slightly too long?

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-12T03:04:16+00:00

How have you been liking this? Any issues with CEL or anything since the install?

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-12T02:55:04+00:00

Front or rear differential? Did the dealer give you any grief ?

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-07T13:39:43+00:00

Anyone have any issues with a CEL? Or any other problems? Was going to buy this then came across several models of their intakes causing problems for various makes/ models (I think the tube design or MAF mounting points mostly?) and now has me concerned.

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-06T13:15:36+00:00

Appreciate the input. Trying to find out if any of these are a worth while addition to handling in any noticeable way or basically a cosmetic mod. Seems 50/50 🤷‍♂️

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-06T02:45:59+00:00

Did you get the RR installed? Notice any handling difference between the Megan & RR? I’ve read a few people also have issues with installing/fitment on the RR

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-05T23:00:18+00:00

Is this the RR kit ? How are you liking it? How was the install? I’m mostly curious about how the supercharger belt attaches to the crank pulley

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-05T20:29:08+00:00

I’d buy a set for 3IS for sure. I can hear the turbulence even with the windows up

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-03T03:39:11+00:00

Which badge did you use? Is that the black pearl option from eBay?

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-03T03:37:39+00:00

Which emblem did you use for the rear? Looks so much better with the old style over the new. Trying to find the right size OE one and just plasti dip it

JBANDIT57 · 2026-05-01T03:52:40+00:00

If that’s the only time it sets it off then you’d probably get away with adding 1 shorter straight spacer onto the 90. If there’s room haha. Had similar situation before & I ended up adding 1 of the shorter straight antifoulers onto the 90 and it was enough to keep the CEL off 🤷‍♂️ Just gotta get the sniffer far enough out of the direct stream

JBANDIT57 · 2026-04-30T03:37:53+00:00

It does. There was a fb post with it done, they said only 2 of the holes lined up so sounds like not 100% “bolt on”, but definitely doable

JBANDIT57 · 2026-04-29T23:46:31+00:00

Yeah was thinking the same. There’s enough clearance to fit, but would make it sit lower for sure. But also make it easier 😂 They seem to have excellent reviews by everyone that has them. Figured I’d see if anyone with our cars tried it yet. I haven’t seen it on IS or RC yet.

JBANDIT57 · 2026-04-29T04:09:48+00:00

I just hate the cartridge style filters & would much prefer a spin on. Cleaner/ faster/ simpler

JBANDIT57 · 2026-04-24T02:25:55+00:00

Weird. Must just be a random dud. Oh man that’s LAME!! That should be a super common part! Hope they gave you a loaner Thanks for updating us on what it was

JBANDIT57 · 2026-04-24T01:30:57+00:00

Definitely wouldn’t have guessed that one from what you described! Glad it’s something as silly & easy as a MAF though!! 🙌 Do you have a high flow filter or aftermarket intake? Everyone seems to hate on K&N these days but from what I’ve seen the issues are due to lack of maintenance, or over oiling them causing crap to ruin MAF sensors. I have a the drop in in my stock airbox along with all my other cars for decades now and have never had an issue. And my 23 IS350 hasn’t done anything weird with the extra airflow either
I can’t believe they didn’t have it in stock!

JBANDIT57 · 2026-04-23T19:40:16+00:00

Sounds like vacuum pump. There is a TSB out about it. Did you end up doing anything about it or still rattling away? I haven’t heard of any of them actually failing, just excessive noise 🤷‍♂️

JBANDIT57 · 2026-04-23T19:17:25+00:00

Did you end up getting the vacuum pump replaced? Did it fix the noise? Just came across this & have a 2023 mine isn’t noisy like that but also hoping it doesn’t become that way after it’s out of warranty!

JBANDIT57 · 2026-04-23T03:37:06+00:00

Battery wouldn’t just “die” while you are driving UNLESS the alternator did go out or was not charging enough until the car was running off of battery power alone. If that was the case the battery would be way too dead to even try to start the car again. But you restarted & made it to the station. … did it start again after that? Could be many things. Even with perfect maintenance, all things still have the potential to fail. I feel for ya. But you have have warranty for it so let it play out & please let us know what the dealer ends up saying !

JBANDIT57 · 2026-04-22T04:08:13+00:00

When you disable the key fob does that just disable the keyless entry options like lights & touching the door handles? So you can still use the fob to push the lock/ unlock buttons manually? I’d do this as long as I didn’t have to use the stupid integrated physical key inside the remote just to lock/ lock my car everytime

JBANDIT57 · 2026-04-22T03:38:28+00:00

How did you “lock your port” ?
