    My Tacoma and 4runner buttons are the same orientation so I'm used to it, why change it now?

    I can think of 100 other mods I would spend my money on before this one. You get used to the bass ackwards orientation.

    The Japanese language is read from right to left.
    That pretty much says it all, not sure why volume isn't up and down though.

    Lol this mod is for me. Complete first world problems

    My STi is volume up down and my Tacoma is volume left right. I listen to a lot of audio books and it fucks me up if I accidentally change tracks.

    Great idea (been mentioned countless times here), but I won't buy any Meso junk again. I fixed the radio control problem with my Maestro anyways.

    I do both, but completely at random. I use the steering wheel button when I want to change the tune on Pandora.

    That's interesting. I have the stage 1 rear taillight mod too. Getting bulbs if There was a failure was a concern. Good to hear he has those if needed

    If you have problems just switch to the VLEDS kit.

    Not fimular with that one. I like how the stage 1 uses a switch back 2 color bulb to enable an amber rear turn signal in the reverse lens. I think it's more visible like that. So far not having any issues.

    VLEDS is the same exact concept, they designed the original bulb for Meso which Meso decided not to use. Meso knocked that one off and made their own. VLEDS is better quality and availability.

    I've had mine for over two years now. One of the harnesses that shipped with it had a loose connector. I emailed MESO and had a replacement in about a week. No complaints.

    I looked it up $162 for their basic tail light kit. About the same cost. I'll keep it in mind but so far Meso stuff has been good.
    Definitely this would need to be fixed if it failed as getting a fix it ticket for a broken light only gives you x days to repair.

    If the install isn't too difficult and the price is right, I'd totally buy this! But then again, I've probably gotten so use to the sideways volume, I'd probably still screw up volume and song adjustment after install.
