That 'downshift from paddles' thing is cool, but my wife hates it...she bumps the paddle by accident and over revs the motor.

well its not an official recall yet, as they don't have all the replacement batteries with higher amp rating, YET. Your #2 issue is one of those weird ones that we have not figured out yet either. its totally random and some radios have it manifested and others don't. I don't know if the radios are made by two companies or what! Mine comes on as I left it before turning off the car....and then back on... We looked at 5 others and some did it and others did not.. Radio 9s.... Radio10s... it seemed not to be a factor.

i installed a pioneer in my pure and had to turn it on every time after starting. a few months later, i replaced the pioneer with a smart #10, it comes on after starting and goes off when i shut the car down, but will turn on if i hit the on button with the key out.

my only problem has been the shifter sticking at sub-zero temps, 2 shifter replacements and yesterday i had the brake switch replaced, hopefully i am fixed. my battery has held up well, being parked for weeks at sub-freezing temps when new, and for 2 days at a time in sub-freezing temps with the SG2 hooked up. but i have a pure, no power goodies...
