Yay for mobile installation...

Purchased a new CD/MP3 head unit for the Volvo yesterday, and today, dropped the car off at 12:30 (1.5 hours late for the appointment, but I kinda got the car stuck in a large snow drift trying to leave the driveway), left Best Buy at 1:30 (had to wait for Patty to return and pick me up), and stayed at campus. The car wasn't ready until 8:30 (!), but we went there, spent another few minutes while the computer decided not to like my card, and tried out the system - works nice ^^ On the way home, though, I noticed a few problems...

1) The new unit puts out a LOT of heat... either it just runs hot or it's not properly insulated from the heating vent right below it.
2) One of the lights illuminating the dashboard no longer lights, leaving half the dashboard dark at night. (Makes it harder to check gas levels.)
3) The glove compartment light no longer lights. Can't see a thing in there at night.

I'll probably call or visit the service bay tomorrow and see what they can do about these issues, but other than that, it's nice to have a working soundsystem again ^^
