Not worried about it opening. Its even been approved by Subaru and 5 other manufactures as a "genuine part".

^^ I'm confused on the bolt part of it. Do you just always leave it unscrewed in the open position? Or do you close it sometimes? Open it only during hard use? or what? I remember reading about it on the grimmspeed one.

Its always closed. Its threaded just like the oil cap. When you need to put oil in you just unsrew the middle portion.

Very nice - I found a couple videos showing the value of this thing, so I ordered one for each of my vehicles.

Also, just got one of these:

Sony MEX-BT5700U




Ideally, what I've been looking for is a dual-DIN touch screen unit, but since I'm seeing a possible trend toward an Android-based car stereo, I'm holding off on getting an expensive unit until the manufacturers get things sorted with a 2nd generation of customizable touch screen Android-based stereos that can possibly play DVD, other digital media, and hopefully link to both Android & iOS phones via bluetooth or wifi to integrate navigation and all other streaming media and functions into the car's A/V system.

So I got the Sony installed in my car. I put up some pics here.

Just a few samples:

They're Koni Yellows already installed in wagon struts with the Ground Control coilover kit and Turn in Concept strut extenders.
