so, i've decided that swedes know how to build cars, they just don't want you messing with them when they are done.

FINALLY got mostly through the install, when i hit the speakers. I went through my entire allen key set to find out that it isn't hexed...its RIVITTED. So after playing for a bit with that, i finally gave up. In fact, i played with it for so long, my battery is dead. So here i sit, in my car, in an awkward position where i can't possibly be jumped.

Also, to run wire through their car, you need 6 different sizes of the same tools because of their weird orientations they want you to get in. Things are hidden in all sorts of clever ways, like metal studs you have to contort in order to remove parts, that if you weren't smart enough to figure, hey...this must be a snap, you would spend hours on.









To top it off, they also put the battery as FAR from the only hole you can squeeze power wire through as they possibly could. I kid you not. It's like they just WANT to **** you off. You won't win, Sweden. You won't win.
