I have a 2011, build date 9/2010, and I have this panel, and I know the blower motor is there too. I wonder what wiring is behind the radio panel that they need to get to.

Also, did they say why they were revving the shit out of it? Did they have an explanation for that?
Interesting, I have an 11' early build date too and this is what the service manager told me. Not sure how much they can know about each model. Didn't question them on the revving yet. I wanna wait until they fix the car first.

Sorry to hear that. This is why I won't let anyone near my cars except for the annual inspection which is required by law.

I would have a talk with the service manager. When are idiot techs going to learn that they have a good chance of being recorded when they do stupid shit in customers' cars?
They notice the dash cam and you can hear them laughing at it like I'm being paranoid. If you're gonna be a tech for cars you can't afford, the least you can do is be super careful and professional when it comes to a customers car.

F*ck I'm getting a dashcam.
+1 what did they do and what is revving the shit out of it? Is it part of testing the service?

That said is revving a warm motor a little isn't necessarily bad is it?
Best purchase I've ever made, saved me $50 for a new kidney grill because some rusted out trunk threw metal into it and broke it, thank god it didn't damage the radiator.

Revving the shit out of it means they set off burble tune. Set at 3400rpm.
