Since you don't have this, the dealer that sold the 'new' car, should have owner info on their computer. If you don't the original dealer, then you can pull out the stereo and give any dealer the serial number for the stereo and they will be able to get it, no prob.<P><B> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Does 95000 seem fair that the factory stuff needs to be replaced.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE></B><P>I think that has a lot to do with how you feel the car handles and rides.

Like someone said above, you can reset the light with the IPD tool.<P>-Drew<BR>
