Not directly. I have it linked up to the stock radio via the Aux2Car setup I bought from Double D Mods. I had an issue with the right audio channel blowing out on the blue box itself, but when everything was working, it was an awesome setup. The new one fixes this, obviously.
Sound is REALLY good, and the speaker phone is unbeatable. With my windows down on the freeway, people can hear me crystal clear. The mic array is fantastic. Other than that issue and their crappy technical support, I've been happy with it.
Using it with the aux2car box, I have the option of making it so it doesn't mess with my radio while I'm listing to it. The way it's meant to work, any time your phone makes a sound, it will cut out your radio to make that noise. I get a new email alert almost every 3-5 minutes so it would be really annoying. But the way it's setup now, if someone calls me or if I want to make a call, I just hit the "AUX" button on the stock radio and accept the call. If I want to listen to music off my phone (I use Grooveshark and XM Radio via Android) I just hit the "AUX" button and hit the play button on the wireless remote that comes with the Parrot.
Basically, all phone audio is routed through the AUX on the radio and the Parrot does a good job selecting sources of audio.

None. It just makes shifting more smooth. The shifters suck on these cars.
I haven't even seen my car since Feb. 14th, so I honestly can barely remember how it feels to drive it. But making gear shift a little easier is just one of those things I want to do.

On that note I added a halltech cai and took out the flex and started polishing the car. First pass was with poorboys ssr2.5 and an orange pad. And it already looks 100x better can't wait to do ssr1 and get a few coats of DODO Juice supernatural

Update: Yesterday on my way home from work I drove through fresh concrete. The road crew did not have the road blocked or anything and I did not realize until I was right on it what was about to happen. When I got home I saw the madness. Concrete slurry over the doors, in the door jams, fenders, mirrors, both wheel wells coated, the bottom of the car was covered as well. Needless to say I spent all evening cleaning the car. I pulled the tires and cleaned the wheels, tires and wheel wells but there is some some residual in the wheel well crevices. Such is life. Can't get too uptight over this stuff or I'd /=. Talk about ruining your day though.

Well this was yesterday but I finally got around to fixing the "HVAC through all vents" issue. Took of the passenger fender thanks to a how-to from here, and traced all my vacuum lines. The one line going into the cabin was eatin up by battery acid, so I routed the new one away from any future threats. Buttoned her back up and she's good to go.
Today I'll be doing a full wash/polish/wax but I'm not too sure how well my knees will hold up after yesterdays repairs. Certainly not as young as I look, things are starting to give out.

Yea if you could have known that you (me too) were going to be this good looking at this age, we might have taken better care of our self.
Then maybe not.
Oh I'll put another 400 miles on the clock. Off to a Giants game today.

I just got my Z back together after installing a Pfadt polly A-arm bushing kit, rear polly sway bushings, and extended studs all around. Waiting for my check to order up the remaining parts needed to put my c6z brakes on then i'll finally be done with the suspension and ready to save for upgraded drive train!

Yesterday I drove it from Toronto to Ottawa (300 miles), went to a car show, scared a friend in it, weighed it, took some pictures, and started to do an extensive cleaning.

Well, I may well be the "Dave", the song was about, if it was a dark tune... Just about a hour ago, I brought my baby home on it's first flatbed ride. I've been sick since Friday, and I just couldn't resist taking a quick ride, romping on it in 3rd to 4th gear. It made a bad sound, and wouldn't go into 4th, making me jam the gearshift. Then it started kerlunking loudly, and I knew that 600 RWHP and stock driveline, not counting clutch, is not a happy mix. I thought the damn halfshaft would give out first! Be that as it may, it's either the diff, or the trans, and my money would be on diff. The entire rear of the car is covered with a clearish fluid that smells like gear oil. But, at my power level, would it be prudent to replace both with upgrades? Bad Efen day for Dave.
