Re: Couple of questions from a new owner
GAAAAAH,
Thus is driving me nuts. So there are more of you with the (now not so) secret red button and no one has a clue.
hhmm I'm thinking a club of confused Xfire owners is more appropriate
, I should be the chief officer of confusion.on another note, purple!
I'm gonna send an email of to chrysler and see if they can help directly.

Anyway could anyone help out. My Xfire has a little red push button in the roof trim next to where the buttons are for gate/garage buttons. If I press it it illuminates for about 2 seconds then goes off. I've pulled back the trim and confirmed my thoughts that its something to do with the alarm system, its wired as below:
wiring loom < ----[box1]----[box2]-----[alarm sensor 1]
[box2|-------[alarm sensor 2]
[box1]----------[red button]
sorry if this is not a good diagram but I cant tab out the white space to make my diagram work, basically box 2 has both the interior motion sensors attached and box 1 has box 2 relayed off it and the red button.
there are no part numbers or serial numbers on the boxes (about 1.5"x 3.5" each) so google pretty much dead ended me there.
Any ideas appreciated I just don't want to start pressing it lots to find its function in case it immobilises the car!
Second one for you, I've never had a V6 before, I've never had anything over a 1.6 before so you can imagine my constant grin at the moment. When I'm idiling every so often I get a little 'jiggle' from the engine, I've read people on the forums suggesting new iridium sparks for a rough idle, it doesnt feel rough but I have nothing to compare it to. ideas?
Cheears all, and I hope to make a meet at some point soon. I'm in the guildford area so if anyone is near by drop me a line, I did see another areo blue (but softy) in Bisley (just down the road from me) only the 3rd I've seen I think.

Re: Couple of questions from a new owner
I'd suggest reading the thread, but in short yes. cost me £4 for 2 100v 220uF non polorised (important) 15 minutes to fit and now I can turn the bass on the stereo up to about -2 and actuall hear the subs instead of just being drowned in bas from the mids.

Re: Couple of questions from a new owner
ok in regards to the red button i think that they are only on euro cars not us cars
yes they do have something to do with the alarm i think they turn off the air pressure sensors for the inside cabin.
Not 100% sure but i think thats the answer
