Hoping I can make some progress soon
So far its rain, rain and more rain. I could pull it under the carport if I have to but the rainy cold weather makes me just want to go back in the house and sleep.

On high mileage suspension compressor pumps (like mine at 113K) I had a great result by buying the complete head unit from a source on Ali. My compressor cylinder bore was shot and the new cylinder head and piston ring restored excellent performance and no more codes. $22 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Air-...866104110.html Yes I first tried Bag Pipin Andy’s piston ring solution but no joy.

If you remove the lower trunk floor Crowz... you'll be able to hear it running. Even a healthy pump makes enough noise to be heard without that.

Since it will HAVE to have a backup camera and it just has the mid/cd player now what's the vote on which one to go with on this install?
I'm thinking about maybe this one : https://www.seicane.com/android-auto...trol-cpu-s6942 Since its so radically different from the ones I have done in the other cars. All of the other ones are factory looking ones. This would be the tablet 9" screen type. Oh and don't even go down that cutting a hole in the top of the dash version. To put it simple on that particular type.... AIN'T HAPPENIN !

I like the large screen. Plenty of real estate for Waze, Amazon Music, etc. I rarely watch Plex movies or use a browser like Chrome on the thing, but it is nice to have a big ole screen if needed. I'd be interested if your use reveals my experience. I find that I need to aim juuuust a touch high on the intended target. ie when searching using the keyboard, I need to aim for the top portion of a given letter. App buttons like a press on the top most edge, etc. I dunno what part of Android addresses this, but I would like to figure out a screen calibration to make it perfect. It's one of a dozen things on these radios that could be better than it is, but isn't a deal breaker for me. I do still wish it had a knob for volume. 30 years piloting Bimmers can't be undone by one with a touch control- even if the wheel buttons work fine.

BUT, for your reference... (in case someone finds this thread and wonders what you are talking about...): - https://www.seicane.com/android-1998...ontrol-s028205 And yeah, given how fast my heart was racing just coding some stuff, I ain't going near the dash with a knife.... And to answer your question - if this is going to be your "beater" do you want to spend a significant proportion of the cars value on a stereo..? With all the outstanding (and bound-to-happen-sooner-rather-than-later things that have yet to bite me) maint. needs on my (admittedly bloody good) e53 I can't justify spending $1,000 on a stereo upgrade. But that's me. That and I adore the OEM look of this e53 platform - I'd rather keep it look "period correct".
