Hi folks,
Got a month on the car and 1k on the odometer. I wanted to reach out with some questions and thoughts without muddying up my original thread (Frustration with '14 availability) that really had a different purpose.
For anyone in the bay area I could use some advice on a shop to install sliders. I've done some research and am not positive I can trust the local off road shops with my new toy, but I did find a mechanic here who gets great reviews for British cars (link). I know how to change oil and tires, but never delved deeper into body/engine work (and would never forgive myself if I ****ed something up), maybe when the car isn't so new I'd give it a shot
Any south bay shops recommended for this work?
Also, researching sliders that will also serve as steps to help the kids get in.
Am hoping to find a good set that won't add too much weight.
I really REALLY want a way to use my iPod and switch back and forth to Bluetooth audio streaming from my phone without unplugging the iPod first.
Really annoying - #firstworldproblems
Any known work arounds?
Also I hit a potential software race condition with "ECO mode" that had a less than thrilling result.
This sounds like a reset of some sort.
How can I find out if any error codes were thrown?
The way this happened I am not reading any more into it and don't have any concerns. I'm only bringing it up to find out how to find the error code (if there was one).
Thanks!

First thought is I LOVE THIS car!
I love driving it, it feels like it's got the stones to do anything I need as well as giving me just enough luxury to always enjoy driving (and looking at) it.
Getting around 15.6 MPG so far lol. But I really have a gas sucking commute (even though it's only ~15 miles each way) that is just stop/go the whole time.

Also I hit a potential software race condition with "ECO mode" that had a less than thrilling result.
- Stopped in traffic, ECO mode on (engine off), foot brake applied, car in Drive.
- Switched gear to Park (causes engine to start up), pressed ECO mode button (turning it off), switched gears back to Drive.
(I performed step 2 quickly) - ==> Engine turned off, some lights blinked a few times in the dash, rotary dial descended.
- Quickly while #3 was happening I pressed the start button and nothing.
- Don't recall exactly, but may have let go/reapplied brake, pressed start button and the car started back up as expected.
