    Rear window open mysteriously?

    California certified catalytic converter

    I am not sure what CAT specs are...BUT my CATS were "cut off" last year in the night. While shopping around I found out that you cannot just go to ebay or something and buy some from Canada or someplace...in fact, they cannot ship to CA. You will need to most likely let the muffler shop get...

    Horizon GPS?

    My vehicle came with something attached. It looks like a GPS but it does not work. It has a long black cable that is wired to the car. I am assuming this did not come standard with the SUV did it? Anyone know what it is...I cannot find a pic on the internet. I have to figure out how to remove...
