Thanks Steve!

Those door cards look awesome! Can't wait till you have some seats in there to offset the stock seat look!

Derek, the seats might take longer than anticipated but eventually I will be putting black leather/heated/carbon backshell Recaro Sportster CS seats into the ///M

Speechless.

Thanks Steve!

Love it, Charlie!

Appreciate it Dario! It's guys like you who have shown courage in taking on huge projects and detailed progress in build threads that have helped me to do something I would have otherwise not tried Over the next month or so I will look back and appreciate what I have done and begin a separate thread to detail everything I have done here

Well... since you will be replacing your seats can I call dibs on the M3 front seats?

Damn! I can't believe family members already calling dibs on parts from my ///M! JP of course you can have dibs on the M3 front seats when I replace them with my Recaros. I will call and talk to you when that time comes

Tonight I decided that I will be adding the latest brand new Intravee II and Alpine KCA-420i (still in original box and plastic cover) iPod adapter and a long AI net cable to my ///M's stereo system. Then I can add an Alpine PXA-H100 sound processor. I have learned today that with the Alpine PXA-H100 connected, the intravee tricks the OE nav into thinking an OEM DSP sound processor is connected allowing for full control through the factory MKIV UI. This is something lacking in my ///M at present which hopefully will be rectified...





Once I add the sound processor above and have all the necessary connections set up, I should have a display on my nav screen like this:
