Re: Audipages.com buying guide will give your a good heads up.

wow, good buying guide on that site. I'm not buying from the dealer, so my inspection with my mechanic is what I have to go by. New o2 every 40K miles? Is that normal problem for the '99 and '00,...

Re: Not sure, but Pro-Clip also makes a mount for C4 cars.

All they have is a holder for various phones, they don't have a vehicle mount for my car. If you find one, reply back (I just checked their site).
