4 in 1 Car / Automoble Battery Terminal Brush

4 in 1 Car / Automoble Battery Terminal BrushSimple, easy to use, and cleaned my battery terminals quickly. Only downside is that it's kind of hard to get off the terminals once you have it on. Would help if it was hinged with a lock.

Husky Liners 99801 WeatherBeater Black Front and 2nd Seat Floor Liner

Husky Liners 99801 WeatherBeater Black Front and 2nd Seat Floor LinerGot these for my 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatch. All the mats fit adequately to do their job. They will definitely protect the car and carpet, but you can tell that they are not an exact fit. There are countours in the edges of all the matts that do not line up with the car, leaving small gaps or wrinkles. Also, the drivers side has two holes meant to lock into place with two gromets in the car's floor, only one of these holes lines up. All in all these are functional for my car, a little disappointing that both Amazon and the manufacturer list my vehicle for this item, but not such a poor fit that I care to do anything about it. If you have a different vehicle, all I can say is double check the Amazon and manufacturer listing for compatibility, but even that might not be enough.

These floor mats fit a 2012 Subaru impreza perfectly. We couldn't be happier with them. No more grinding dirt into the carpet on the edges since they wrap much higher than the oem all season mats

My vehicle is a 2013 Subaru Impreza Hatchback

The driver side liner covers my gas tank lever. Customer Support was very unhelpful, I had to keep pressing to get the information I needed. They finally said I need to trim that but did not bother to send me instructions. If I am cutting up the liner to make it fit, that is not a custom fit.

In the back, there are 2 lumps where the fit isn't correct and the liner does not lay flat against the floor board. Also the liner sits in the existing space and there isn't a lip so if you spill anything on the edge, the liquid will just roll underneath the liner.

Do not buy!

NOCO Genius GC015 12V Eyelet Battery Indicator

NOCO Genius GC015 12V Eyelet Battery IndicatorThe battery will barely start the car and this thing says it has a 100% charge. I hooked up a NOCO charger to the battery and it said the charge level was 25% while this thing was still a happy 100%. According to this either the battery is dead or it's 100%. Pretty worthless.

I use this to monitor my generator start battery. So far it seems to be working well. The battery was already charged. When I hooked it up to the battery the green light was blinking. I zip tied it where I can see it easily inside my battery compartment. Perfect. Thanks!

Got this for my NOCO Genius G3500 6V/12V 3.5A Automatic Multi-Purpose Battery Charger and Maintainer (Grey) I purchased several months ago. I have been swapping the charger around to several different vehicles, so I thought I would give this accessory a try. So far, I really like it. You can quickly tell if your battery needs charged. Going to go back for more to install on all my cars.

Pioneer CD-INCAR2 Car Kit for Pioneer GEX-INNO2BK Inno 2 Portable XM Radio

Pioneer CD-INCAR2 Car Kit for Pioneer GEX-INNO2BK Inno 2 Portable XM RadioThe main reason for this kit (instead of the INNO1 version) is because the FCC forced Pioneer to reduce the FM transmitter strength. This means that to get the signal to your car's antenna you have to use an extra cable that runs from the in-dash mount, OUTSIDE YOUR CAR, and is clipped directly to your car's built-in antenna.

There are problems with this approach:

1. The first time you go through an automatic car wash the clip-on cable will be stripped right off.

2. The clip-on portion only works with extremely thin "whip" style antennas. My wife's car has a short, thick "aero" style antenna (in the center of the very rear of the roof) that is totally incompatible with this kit. They don't tell you that before you buy it.

3. Who wants a cable strung through your car for passengers to trip over? Who is going to rip out dashboards and upholstery in a new car to run this underneath? Maybe a professional installer, but this kit was aimed at the home user, supposedly.

In my case I finally tried running the "sure connect" cable under the floor mats, into the back cargo area, and then ran it in a large loop around the inner edge of the rubber seal around the hatch back, leaving the clip-on tip dangling where it wasn't obvious. The only reason this kit gets two stars instead of one is that worked: the signal is strong enough to reach the external antenna without any wires going outside the car.

If you're going to use your INNO2 in a car, be warned, and you probably should save the $70 and give it to a professional installer who'll jack it into the back of your existing radio's FM input--except I bet you have to buy the kit anyway, to get the FM transmitter enabled through the cradle, don't you?

You need to buy this item to active the "FM Modulator" that is built into the Inno Radio. But that is a joke because the only way that you are going to get sound thru your radio is if you plug the sure connect into the antenna which make the Idea of the availability to keep it simple and cheap a waste of time and money. Most cars don't have an antenna that you can get to let alone getting to the radio itself to make this work. $60.00 for this extra gadget and another $100 to have a professional install it correctly. Bottom line THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A WIRELESS FM MODULATOR, WIRED YES, WIRELESS NO!

The main point of my review is to point out that this product works for me with the Samsung YX-M1Z Helix XM2go Portable Satellite Radio with MP3 Player.

Having just gotten a vehicle with XM radio it's hard to understand that this many wires are required to adapt an Inno for car use. My wife doesn't want this many wires in her car. In an age where we have Bluetooth it's pathetic to have a primitive kit like this, it's not cheap for what it is. I won't be fitting it and it's a pity I discarded the packing or else it would have gone back to the store.

Want Pioneer CD-INCAR2 Car Kit for Pioneer GEX-INNO2BK Inno 2 Portable XM Radio Discount?

I was already miffed at having to purchase this product because all of the Pioneer Inno's literature touted its having a "built-in FM modulator." But, according to XM Radio tech support, the FCC prohibits the use of the FM modulator without the car kit, so it is only activated when attached to the car cradle. When I received the product, I tried it in three different vehicles, a dozen different FM stations each, and never got even the faintest XM signal to broadcast (note that I had 3-4 bars of reception during this trial). This is an awfully expensive product to perform so poorly. To make matters worse, I returned the item for a refund over THREE WEEKS ago, and have not heard a thing (even though I used Amazon's own pre-printed return shipping label and package insert label, Amazon customer support claims it cannot give me a status of this return; the only way I will know its final outcome will be when the refund posts to my credit card). Needless to say I am extremely dissatisfied both with the product and with Amazon's return processing.

UPG UB1290 12V 9AH Sealed Lead Acid Battery F1 Terminal

UPG UB1290 12V 9AH Sealed Lead Acid Battery F1 TerminalThis battery replaces the (2) in the 1500W Geeksquad UPS from a few years ago. Seems to work fine, but comes just as in the photo, bare leads and all. Hopefully will last as long as the original batteries did.

Cheaply made and I think will not last long (I already see that scooter doesn't have the range it had when battery is new)

But you get what you pay for..

It works for the purpose I bought it and if it lasts one season good.

Install Bay Copper Ring Terminal 4 Gauge #516 25 Pack - CUR4516
  • Copper RingTerminal
  • 4 Gauge #516
  • 25 Pack

Not to say that is a bad thing low cost YES not as heavy duty as the ones I get locally ( but then again they don't cost me $1.55 EACH as those do) They WORK they do crimp EASILY my Hobart 770122 Lug Crimper I bought also here on Amazon squishes these things FLAT lol , the "problem" I have with these is I bought five different sizes of them on one purchase but all five purchases came in separate packages? and the really bad part is each pack of 25 terminals came in it's own box big enough to hold like 5000 of them.

Overall they are an acceptable product ( have not melted one yet lol ) if needed I would buy them again, I just hope they would ship them all together as three of the boxes shipped the SAME day from the same warehouse?

Keyless Entry Remote Fob Clicker for 1999 Ford Expedition With Do-It-Yourself Programming

Keyless Entry Remote Fob Clicker for 1999 Ford Expedition With Do-It-Yourself Programming'Amazon.com' truly amazes me with their superb prices and lightning fast shipping. Had a lil' issue programming the 1999 Ford Expedition Remote Entry Key Fob (since my oldest son kept losing keys which is another subject) but after fiddling for about 15 minutes discovered I had to step on the brake entire time which stated was only on Ford Econoline vans. Besides that issue I am truly happy since the dealership wanted almost $80. Can't beat that with a baseball bat :)

Was delivered on time and the instructions were easy to follow. I bought this for my sister-inlaw who's fob wasn't working too well, even with a batter change. This new fob is like factory new.

I bought this for a friend whose alarm remote had broken. These things seem to mysterious, but it really was easy to program. We simply followed the directions, very specifically, and voila! It was programmed...and for considerably less than if she had gone to the dealership for a replacement.

My last fob was failing when I these arrived. (Believing in redundancy, I bought three new ones.) The instructions were clear and easily followed, so programming all three took less than 45 seconds. What a relief, and what an excellent product.

Easy set up, looks good, no problem. Only gave it four stars because it doesn't have the ford logo on it, and well, ahem, I wish it had the features of the newer model cars, but at 4 bucks, it's a STEAL!!!

NoiseHush N620-12055 Bluetooth Handsfree Speakerphone Car Kit for all Cell Phone Brands and Models - Retail Packaging - BlackThis claims to work with all phone models, but it did not work with mine. My phone found my tv bluetooth right away but could not find the noisehush bluetooth device. I had to return it.

I can't get it to connect automatically and it's time consuming to connect to my phone every time I get into the car.
