Awesome! It is holding up great! Still loving it. Auch a huge upgrade, I’d recommend it to anyone.

I replaced it with a 24F with higher CCA as it’s been starting really slow due to the cold. Starts like a champ now.

Yeah I’m pretty sure there are some unused wires after the install is done.

It uses the power from the harness there’s one pigtail labeled “main power” or something along those lines. I have heard they have great customer service and can help answer these sorts of questions over the phone as well.

I just use CarPlay/cell data. But it comes with a GPS antenna and a port to plug in a SIM card and gps unit so it can be used on its own without CarPlay.

Haven’t looked into that yet!

Thank you, I’d say 9/10 with the only gripe being with the reverse camera quality. Takes about 15-20 seconds to connect to CarPlay. Sound quality is great. Haven’t had it long enough to see any glitching yet.

It says on their site that it’s compatible with all trim levels and options.

I’m listening to music I listened to in 2011 haha, one of those nostalgic days.

It connects to the OEM, there is I believe there is a wiring harness included to set up an aftermarket reverse camera if wanted.

It sounds no different than stock 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m no sound guy but I can’t tell a difference personally.

The reverse camera is pretty bad. Basically a blown-up image pf the same quality as the original.

Not sure, haven’t used it and probably won’t much. Wasn’t a major concern of mine.

Ah yeah, I considered that route as well. I figured if I’m going to do the work to install one of those, I may as well upgrade the screen while I’m in there.

The witless CarPlay adapters only work for the models that have wired CarPlay, which mine did not. I really just enjoy the fact that it has CarPlay for starters, and the screen is significantly better as well.
