    If possible, consider buying a USB memory device and play your music files from that.

    Someone here installed LEDs and it made a big difference. I think Laceygirl did this, and maybe some others.

    Yep. Don't leave summer bug wash in your washer tank when you know it is going to be 11 degrees outside. Gotta keep the washer tank filled with the right stuff. Not the car's fault that the wrong fluid is in the tank for the season during which you bought it.

    Right around September or October I deliberately run all of the bug wash out of the tank and refill it with de-icer, even though it usually doesn't get terribly cold around here.

    Well, except for this year...brrrrrr!

    ...I don't even think they sell the other stuff in Canada. I haven't seen a windshield fluid that doesn't say good for -30 c on it.

    I assure you. They make -20° in blue. So I figured the dealer put the stuff in. Lesson learned. Refuse to pay dealer prep fee and prep the car myself. I use yellow -35° deicing fluid.

    Thanks! I have some on a flash drive and it does seem to work. Kind of annoyed the MP3 is giving such poor performance when the owner's manual states they are ok. I will just go to the flash drive and call it a day!

    I will check in to LED lights.

    Thanks again for your help!

    the alcohol in the fluid evaporates in warm weather letting it freeze easier.

    Is there a way Mitsubishi can take the dead spot out of the center of steering on the 15 like they did the 17? That would be awesome

    Once I had rear axle assembly replaced on my 15 Mirage ES with CVT, the dead spot disappeared.
