Other than tht it does look slick and oem I do like it.
Not at all it’s a valid question!

My car like many on this forum is still a work in progress, that being said I’ll give you an example of what I’m currently planning, I have the Escort Shifters ZR4 under my tree that I plan on installing myself, can’t open the damn box till after Christmas, the Escort 9500ix will then be hardwired and integrated into the car as a complete system, placed on dark mode.

As for the compass and temp on the mirror they are cute add-ons why not!

The IPod soon will also be a thing of the past, one of the primary reasons I purchased the base model and not the Touring version, I wanted something different than OEM, I like to control what went into the music, GPS, Bluetooth, components, weight was also an issue but mostly I wanted to personalize the look , feel and sound of the interior my way!

When it comes to music let’s not forget my cars name on its tags! ”Orpheus”! “lol”

Alex

P.S. When I’m ready for my music, GPS components I may very well reach out to you for advice, thanks.
