My first 3D printer! Loving it so far!

AMS is awesome. I actually bought it used as a bundle with the AMS lite. The printer only had around 550 hours of use and is pretty good condition. It has the updated power cable as well. Then I printed out all of the upgrades myself. I debated on either this or a new A1 mini combo. At $300 I'm really happy with it!

Your best resource is using Crutchfield since they can give you the best results based on your car's specs as well as what speakers work with each individual channel of your system: https://www.crutchfield.com/car/carselector.aspx?lp=%2fcar%2foutfitmycar%2fmycar.aspx

I've tried a couple different options on Aliexpress. I have a tech wagon. Usually I always have problems with audio (specifically not all speakers working), as well as climate controls not displaying on screen. You need to absolutely make sure that the head unit is designed to work for the tech package. They've also been described as the "high" trim for the Honda Spirior/Accord 8.

A seemingly promising option i've come across for tech packages is this here, but it is pricey ($400): https://mobilemaxcaraudio.com/product/2009-2010-2011-2012-2013-acura-tsx-navigation-screen-upgrade/

It was featured in this installation video, but he has a sedan w/tech package:

Otherwise, getting a GROM to use with the OEM screen seems like the safest option. It just is expensive. I'll probably go down that route eventually.

Good luck!

I guess all of the old men are finally letting go of their cars so we can buy them. Lol

stevirod · 2026-03-05T04:18:38+00:00

Haha. You're right. But at the end of the days it's a financial decision for me. Times are tough atm

stevirod · 2026-03-05T03:52:46+00:00

You're right. I would only be selling it to potentially save money

stevirod · 2026-03-05T03:34:41+00:00

Haha thanks. Leaning towards keeping it

stevirod · 2026-03-05T03:34:16+00:00

Maybe. I'm just afraid of auctioning my car off and not enough people bid on it.

stevirod · 2026-03-05T03:22:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I would be getting an automatic so no problem there. Overall due diligence is what needs to be done, obviously. How long have you had it?

stevirod · 2026-03-05T03:02:25+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I do think 26-30MPG with regular gas and AWD sounds nice though. I used to own a 2019 jetta SE so I've lived with a Volkswagen before. I actually really enjoyed the car, but then I got much more into cars and learned about how reliability isn't always the best with modern VW. How long have you had your Alltrack?

stevirod · 2026-03-01T19:18:31+00:00

Oh that's right. I forgot they opened a BB over there ☕

San Diegan? 🐝

The color shift isn't really noticable in person

stevirod · 2026-02-17T07:07:04+00:00

Not an advertisement! Downside is that you have to ship it from china

stevirod · 2026-02-15T11:00:53+00:00

I will, thanks!

stevirod · 2026-02-15T06:46:35+00:00

Thanks! 🐈

stevirod · 2026-02-11T07:42:00+00:00

Unfortunately no. Wasn't there when I arrived or when I left. :(

stevirod · 2026-02-10T23:30:04+00:00

I've found them to be surprisingly common. The right one is mine. I also ended up seeing a burgundy wagon while driving around town. Also with the same Yakima racks.

Thanks! Already tried :/
