if car was sub-merged ,fell the carpet under the drivers seat in front & behide ,if wet u will need to replace your twice unit mount under the carpet under the drivers set assembly ,for this u will need to take interior carpet out to let dry & remove water residue from flooring ,after that take car to dealer to have them program new or used twice unit to vehicle ,price for new around $700,PRICE for used $285 from goldwingsaab.com,good luck also check your engine air filter under car in housing if wet,& if found wet remove spark plugs & check for water in engine .
