So how will you access the car's BC functions (like setting the clock etc.) once you fit this? Just curious... ;)

Good point, and I have absolutely no idea. But realistically I haven’t seen the time, or the radio station, or anything legible on the OEM receiver head for a decade or more. I’m assuming the new receiver has a clock function too.

Nine missing left front door panel rivets were replaced. I didn't realize it had so many missing. Ordered two packs of 12. One is almost gone! Now, on to the fuse for rear door locks and hatch. I was about go begin but a thunder storm cell moved over my house. F20 and F24 are good. So it's a hunt now.

Sounds like you have the factory Nav? Unless you actually need the cash, don't throw it away, or maybe buy a used MID unit you can plug in, should you need it one day. There are a couple of functions that require a working Nav system or MID - like unlocking the anti-theft code lockout, should it become enabled by a flat battery situation etc. (which has been known to occur). :rolleyes:

No nav nor DSP, which I think makes aftermarket upgrades to the stereo less complicated.

Correct - much easier. :thumbup:

So yeah, you might want to keep the MID unit around - just in case (even though it sounds like it has a lot of dead pixels...). :rolleyes:

You should be able to install the Kenwood without hacking up the factory loom. There are plenty of adapters for this sort of mod.

Installed Heat Shield window screens. With 5% rear tint, and shades out, the entire inside is dark. Nice on a hot Texas day when no shade is available.

Finally mounted my DINAN badge on the decklid.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ff9588d340.jpg

Looks great Purplecty! :thumbup:

Agreed!

Something oddly familiar about your car too... can't quite place it. :D
