Last week - installed JVC head unit and backup camera.

Today, received and installed trunk lid liner. Also received OEM Armrest from NigelJDM. Installing tomorrow.

Head unit showing back-up camera view. (no guidelines, dammit)

Backup camera mount. Done with no new holes - I just ran the cable through the opening for the license plate light.

Trunk liner:

OEM Arm Rest tomorrow:

You weren't able to use stock Bluetooth Mic I'm guessing?

You guessed correctly, but who would want to? From what I've read and heard, the quality of aftermarket mics is much better, and I placed it on the steering column so I'm talking right into it. Will ask spousal unit if it sounds better than before.

Using the stock mic would have been a major PIA. Would have to identify the mic leads, cut into the harness or get a connector and wire it, then solder the leads to a 3.5mm mono plug.

When you put in an aftermarket head unit, there's a whole OEM connector - a 28-pin I think - that goes unused and I think that's where the mic wires are.

Today I got my front tow hook license plate bracket by Advan-Emotion. No instructions...but I'm sure I can figure it out!

........ well, all you need is a big f _ _ _ _ _ _ hammer, a cold chisel, a blow torch and a hack saw. That puppy will slip right in. Oh, be sure to seal it off with some duck tape....

They're all similar and do the same things. I would go with Grimmspeed just for the little nut thing that comes with it that goes in between the brace and the wall.

Put the stock wheels/winter tires on

However, I have a new setup for Spring. Gah I can't wait!

Added my front license plate bracket.

It was a little tough removing the Tow hook over. I used a metal screw driver in the end because a plastic card wasn't strong enough.

It's a little tough attaching the four screws to hold the plate because there's very little room in the top right corner.

The plate also moves around a little, I might need to put some Teflon tape around it to make it tighter.
