    Good replacement radio for 2015 Mirage DE?

    I have a 2015 DE and am having issues with the radio. I know this is a complaint of these cars even when working fine and guess they can't offer a premium unit for what these cars cost. The buttons...

    The car is from 2016 or 2017 (I forget) so it is good on that. Either way this needs to get in sooner than later. I will call the dealer first thing tomorrow.

    A lot of cars use ATF as their manual transmission fluid BUT there is a warranty.

    I know many modern cars use ATF as their MTF fluid but don't know if I would want to do this on a car that is under warranty. I assume you can run an oil analysis on transmission fluid just like you...

    That is strange. I would definitely get a new clutch as they have to remove it anyway so labor should be free. You just pay for the part.

    These batteries appear to be the kind where you can add water which I like. You can unscrew the caps so I need to check mine and add if needed.
