Default Harmon WHAT??!!!

The Contemporary I recently bought has the Harmon Karden system fitted, with the BMW head unit with wide screen. It has all the toys considering it was factory fit back on '04 - BUT, it is totally useless to me! Everything works and sounds a treat, it really does.

But I realized driving home tonight after my third attempt at listening to something, that I was once again going to switch it off - all I want to hear ALL the time is the purr of that V6 as I cruise along with its throaty growl when I accelerate. I am truly pathetically smitten with this car...

This is so bad of me

Once I have all the niggly jobs sorted, I want a stainless exhaust as well. What does the induction kit do?

It replaces the airbox for better air intake you can see mine with the red hose connector.

My grandson says he loves going out in the Connie, as he could listen to the V6 all day!
