It is your alarm located under the cowl below the windsheild. The internal batteries are leaking onto the circuit board causing shorts setting offf the alarm. Easy fix. There is a PDF for it on here.
The Charging socket went into the knock-out labeled 10S in the sloping section at the front of of the console floor.
The hole is a bit oblong, but the face of the socket covers it nicely.
I chose this location because it seemed most accessible from the drivers position and least in the way of other items that might wind up in the console, also there is no interference with other items (like the parking brake). If I were to do it again, I'd move it over one space. I wired it into the harness at the cigarette lighter socket, where a P/O had previously connected a GPS power adapter. I recommend using 90 degree flag terminals for clearance with the drive line hump.
For the 3.5mm & USB extension space was tighter, I wound up opening up a preexisting (factory?) hole, using a Dremel tool with a drum sander. The hole wound up being a bit odd as the new larger hole does not fully overlay the original smaller hole, but it's not in a very visible location. The other spots I'd thought to mount it wound up with clearance issues.
Does anyone know where the low gloss interior coating can be sourced?

If that device has a Li-ion battery in it, I would highly recommend you not charging that in there with either the door closed OR unattended. Just saying!

Yep I agree, that could lead to an insurance claim for total loss by fire.
i had a go at a chip in the windscreen, used a product called rain x, unless you look close you cannot see the chip now, then replaced the cabin filter, the one i took out was awfully dirty and a lot of leaves came out with it, may have been the original, gave the interior a good clean after that
Today I had help from one of the mechanics at the shop, we changed out my spark plugs. I thought from reading the forms that it would be not so easy. But it only took him 20 mins to do them all!
Today I decided to have a little bit of extra fun, went out to a secluded area and turned off the T/C, and just did some donuts and stuff. Which was much fun, since I've never done them before. I'm glad I am a tire dealer, getting those new Pirrelli tires will be much cheaper.

Being a tire dealer, any good discounts for us
I will be needing another pair of all season 285's this summer

Changed jobs already?
I thought you were a manager at a DIY garage, or did you get tired of that job already.
He gets a flat commission which helps plug the lags in garage business..
Quick on the uptake aren't you, and quite punny yourself.
DIY garages give a lift to the shade tree mechanics and tools among us.
However, I think that you can expect a financially good year more often if you steer yourself into the tire business, and tread very carefully at first. Lets face it you get sales in all seasons, summer and winter. Most business failures come when people fail to stem their losses, or gauge their own inflated capabilities let alone handle the work pressure.

What did I do to my Crossfire today, nothing, the same as the last few months.
What am I planning to do to my Crossfire this winter? The same things I was planning to do last winter plus a few more, I never got around to do any of them last year, why should this year be any different.

You guys jump the gun to quick, I am still at the DIY garage, but since we sell tires and other stuff, we are considered a dealer. So like we're a Amsoil dealer(I get that oil for $7 a qt.) we also sell K&N, I get parts from dealers at half the cost. Which now I need to go look through the forum to find about my rear diff that's acting up.
I replaced the transmission electrical connector, changed the conductor plate, transmission fluid and filter. I also ordered OEM Slush mats for the front row... chuckle chuckle.
Took a picture of the 2007 Coupe covered by last night's winter storm results. Still snowing here below I-85 in SC, but it's not coming down at any significant rate. But we did get mostly sleet last night around here. So the upper part of Greenville County, which borders the Smokies, got snow (4-6") & are somewhat better off than us below I-85.

Later,
BOY, am I lucky, I have a garage here in MA. Not heated, but a garage just the same. OH, with a cover over the car as well.
Just saying,
