On the cusp of buying a nice used example.... Anything I need to know?

The main thing to note is that you will get a switchable loud car as long as it has the 4.7 engine but you will get noise at all revs if it has oval rather than round pipes. I've got the latter and like it but some people might want max noise.

Can you mod the 4.7 autos so that they give noise in sport mode at all revs? Is it a software thing?

Yes you can. FD Dynamics do a kit.

Ta!

Well, I have pressed the button and have placed a deposit on a 4.7s auto. Should get it in a couple of weeks

Keeping my 4200 spyder though, I decided it was just too pretty to sell...

Collection is tomorrow......

Bianco Fuji pearl is such a lovely colour!

So I collected the new girl today, and she is just lovely. Will post pics when I can, but allready I am very happy with my choice.
Couple of questions:

1. The glove box has a usb + an audio connector in it, plus a little ( maserati badged) cable to connect to an iPod. The connecter has the symbol that suggests its the full connectivity one, not simply the one to charge with. I can play my iPod classic through it, but I cannot control the iPod via the media centre. It just plays it as aux. do I need a different cable, or am I doing something wrong with the connection?

2. The front passenger seat glides forward electrically when tipped, but does not go back to the start position when the back rest is pushed back upright..... It goes some of the way, then stops. I then have to send the seat the rest of the way back via the seat buttons. ... Is this normal?
