It’s still not perfect, but it’s significantly better.

Is that an AUX cable wrapped around the mount? Where is the cable plugged into?

Can you elaborate on this? I'm interested.

Yep. I fed from the back of the head unit behind the dash to the glovebox where’s a mounting plate/female 3.5mm jack. The aux cable goes through the gap on the side of the glovebox door. I originally had it mounted in the back of the storage bin, but the cable was always in the way when shifting.

I have an AUX port in the back of my storage tray and I'm using a retractable aux cord. It works but it has never been my favorite solution. Might try to install a bluetooth receiver like Trevor did.

Mine is all wadded up in the “not an ashtray “. I like the idea of OOTW.

First oil change since it's resurrection!! Doing a full detail tomorrow and looking at ways to pull the silver paint off of the trunk and hood. Both are clear coated carbon fiber underneath and the paint is cracking anyways. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...91a80e2125.jpg

Sent from a blue police box.

Finally replaced my AUX cord. My old one looked like it had been pulled out of a dumpster behind an electronics store in the 90s. Thought my speakers were broken because only half of them played at a time and it would go in and out, thankfully just a faulty cord

Man, I’d love a no-reflector bumper on a coupe.

It's nice. The PO installed it on the car when he had it. Didn't like the reflector look.

Finally arrived! Time to get to work. :biggrin
