yeah it is, it's usually the left hand button labelled "volume"... turn counterclockwise if it's a **** or if they are buttons, try the "-" side for a change.

That's a nice battery. I want one but I don't need one. I'll probably still end up getting one. They are kinda expensive though!!!

well i got it hooked up, it was the right battery, and everything is working properly, however I still have dimming in the lights, its A LOT less then before but still its dimming, I hate that. My friend has a way powerful system then mine and his DOME lights dont even flicker, but then again he has a 4 runner and 2 yellow top batteries with 4 caps.

As for the battery somone on the board (SirYO i think) has a deal or you can go to performance improvements where I got mine, they had it in stock too.

dimming is a common problem

upgrade your electrical system with larger wires from batt etc.

Like I said before, Costco has the for CHEAP!!!!

"OPTIMA RED TOP $149.99 COSTCO WITH 3 YEAR W
720 cca
With Costco.. straight trade in if anything happens (unlike the hassle of national)

Yellow top was 175+ if I remember right" <-- from the Nissan Xterra club. I know I bought mine there and it was cheap, but I was under the impression that yellow and red were the same price for some reason, but I guess not.

you should of told performance SCAR. that the other performance improvements charge only 199+tax, costo also has them but i dont think its 175 its like 229+tax, but they give u 3 yr warranty, performance improvements only gives you 1yr straight trade.

I just got off the phone with Costco and they have them for $209.99 + tax. $242.00 including tax. Not bad.

I just for off the phone with Optima and the girl told me I need the model D51R. The R stands for REVERSED.
