Looking at both tires on the Continental site, the only major difference I can find are the weight ratings. It seems like the CrossContact ATR are made more for SUVs and small trucks. The highest load rating is 120 but most sizes are less than 115. The TerrainContact A/T is geared more toward...
Awesome write-up. I'll be doing a full system upgrade soon and you convinced me this auto DSP is the one I should get. I already have a couple amps so I'll be getting the 6-channel.
Sure keeping it in "L" I can see it engine braking. It makes no sense for a hybrid to be computer programmed to regularly use engine braking to slow the car down. It would use either regen or disc braking, like every other vehicle.
To be clear, what I am experiencing is not typical engine...
It's not the ICE. The ICE does not turn on during descents, especially when you are off the gas. Using engine braking to slow down would defeat the purpose of a hybrid.
Also, there is no automatic transmission, be that CVT or otherwise, that will hold a low gear like that unless you...
Get one of those center console organizers off Amazon. I keep all my other junk in those trays and keep the bottom of the console clean for my electronics.
Definitely a possibility, but nothing a vacuum and some electrical cleaner couldn't handle though. I had an OEM one facing up in my Civic and never had an issue.
I thought about that, but I didn't want an exposed wires running around/under the center console. I guess you could splice one in from the circuit, but that would end up being more of a PITA than my method.
Same issue, documenting for others. Hybrid XLT, <1k miles. Any descent where the car gets above 15 mph, I get a continuous vibration into the cabin. Sounds very similar to a regular ICE vehicle in low gear using engine braking when the RPMs rise. It gets louder the faster the car goes. Has...

Nice! Can you post the part # of the black insert in the cubby directly in front of the central arm rest console? Been looking for one to match my black insert under the climate controls.
I use the USB slots in my vehicles often but I don't like the clutter of a bunch of balled up cords under the dash. I didn't want to hard wire anything and I didn't want to occupy any existing power source either. I decided to go with this cigarette lighter adapter. (https://amzn.to/3GgIK4X)...
That's not an issue on late model 22's or 23's. My '22 hybrid built September still has the grill shutters. Also I highly doubt the AGS has any tangible effect on city MPG. Probably not even "active" until Highway speeds
