_________________________________________________
*Install Alpine ILX-507 w/ iDatalink Maestro RR module for vehicle information and configuration display -I installed this, did not like it.
Install amp- JL Audio XD700/5v2 5 channel amp
Replace headlights with same type but more black trim
Center console light mod
Center console (rear) 160W USB C outlet mod
Buff and polish car
Further down the line....
Autosync G2 install
Delete AFM
Replace rear plastic trim and 3rd brake light assembly
Add aux lights.
Add compressor in 2nd battery tray
Install 1500 watt inverter directly wired to battery w/fusible link
Figure out what to do with the useless DVD player I will never use for anything
Exterior is in perfect shape, but currently this is the fun I am having
Power folding mirrors make noise but don't close (I've read about the lovely gears in these that break).
Driver power mirror does not move correctly using the control. Have to manually adjust it
Driver lumber "push" into the back is not working. looks like it is the motor assembly on the right that has a cable that is not linked into the gear assembly.
Passenger seat power makes noise but does not move back and forth. I suspect a broken gear
Steering wheel "trim" is breaking down and sticky.




All little issues, but I love projects and I expect this to be one

I'm sure other things will come about, but this is my list of mods I definitely want to complete before Spring. Some of this will be done in the next 2 weeks.

Time for the next stage of this project... I already dropped new speakers in the doors -Alpine S-S65C... Now it's time to swap out the Alpine HU I didn't like for this new one that was just released on the 1st.
