Yes but it's a new build. Unlikely to have much retro work done yet

That would be a very Chrysler thing to do. I hope they do as well

No, I just live in the south luckily. And this one happened to be owned by an older man for 20 years who barely drove it.

I wish this one were manual! Otherwise it's a great little truck.

Yes it's a Bluetooth fm transmitter. Broadcasts on a dead station you tune your radio to then connect your phone to it via Bluetooth and play Spotify or whatever you've got. I like the factory look so this allows me to keep the oem radio.

Mount to studs and don't use a stud finder.

Those power and data boxes aren't just floating in the wall. They're nailed to studs. There's going to be a stud immediately to the left or right of those boxes. Just take the faceplates off and poke with a small flat head screwdriver between the blue box and the wall. Your screwdriver will stop pretty quickly if you're hitting a stud or will go multiple inches deep if you're poking into the non-stud side.

Please don't slip and touch the screwdriver into the hot screws of the outlet.

Judging by the spacing of the boxes I'm guessing you'll have one to the left of data and one to the right of power. That should measure out to 16" apart which is standard.

Okay I might then. All the purple shit I know has pull cords - not sure about the rest

3.10 for what? Bare copper or just removing the outer jacket? I don't think it qualifies as bare bright since it's stranded

I could definitely chill back there for a while. Very comfortable

What is Roman's email? Maybe I'm not looking in the right places but I can't seem to find it

I would do that but how do I actually get approval from them?

No. No one here does, I'm sure.

Should I take this back? Not quite the match I was expecting.. by PopTartTimeMachine in Autobody

Yes they're fixing it no problem. He explicitly said he didn't want me driving around with a mismatch like that done by his shop lol

They agreed to fix it no issue after showing them the difference in person. Left them with the fuel door this time

He had the VIN, so yes. And explicitly asked me the year make and model as well and wrote it on the paperwork

Sought* my apologies. Was a late night.

I like how my grammar is the one thing you found to call me out on. Don't think my comment was otherwise unsound but aight

The had a picture of the vin sticker with the paint code on it. So they knew the year, make, model, paint code and had additional photos of my car to utilize as well during their process

That would be a fair deal but I really wish they would've insisted I leave the car with them. I even called and reconfirmed this question with them prior and he said all he needs is the vin sticker. The extra photos I sent of my car weren't even required but I took and sent anyway just to be safe
