So, last night... driving this car past my 100 mile mark since ownership. I go to accelerate from a stop and notice my power is pretty lacking... Starting to get dark, so once I get to speed, I notice that my display went dim to the point where it wasn't even really on once I got the headlights on! Oh my... 12v not staying charged it seems. I limped it home and checked the voltage... 10.0v at the battery! Let it charge all night and did a bit of research. Turns out, no IMA charging, no 12v charging! Good to know!
So, I have 2 options: Bypass the BCM, or get the IMA going. I should have what I need to build a grid charger this weekend, hopefully will get to slap it on and start experimenting with that. If not, bypass for now and work on it another day.
In other news, I had all the tint pulled (as it was damaged and starting to bubble a bit) and had 38% ceramic tint applied all around (well, minus the drivers window. Can't roll it down until the switch comes in!) The very rear glass is factory tinted, so he did a clear ceramic film on it. It's not as dark as it was, but keeps the fuzz off my tail! (35% is darkest you can go around these parts)
I'll get pics of said tint when I get a chance.
