I can't tell from these pictures, do you have the stock 3rd brake light or the Intec high mount brake light? I have the Intec installed and have been thinking about adding a rear visor (probably the H.I.C.) but I'm worried about it obscuring the high mount brake light.

I have the Intec top light and Valenti smoked for bottom and tails. The HIC visor does not obstruct at all. Just make sure they tape the bottom of the Intec or you might deal with a sag crisis like I had last summer that was very annoying.

Garage
Finally got a replacement head unit installed and the steering wheel controls set up. Saved a little weight, gained android auto,and with the firmware update just released for the HU, fully working Bluetooth.

I've driven 200 miles with the garbage stock HU and it was more than enough.

Now to finish brakes, suspension, alignment, header+ and tune, short shifter, and some cosmetic mods... Probably should sort the front license plate install too. In the next two weeks.

Garage is currently 28°F.

Which HU/controls adapter did you go with? And guessing it works with the reverse cam too?

I’m wondering the same. I’ve almost ordered an aftermarket head unit several times now (I really miss Android Auto!) but I can’t decide on using the PAC or Maestro RR or maybe something else? I’ll almost certainly get the Pioneer AVH-2330NEX... I had the AVH-4100NEX in my last car and had no complaints.

Pioneer MVH-2300NEX with an Axxess ASWC-1 for the steering wheel controls, and a slew of cables. Could have saved a few bucks on all the adapters, but this was the lazy answer. I ended up doing a custom program, everything seems to work though did not test the phone off/on hook. PTT does. Someone here got the right wiring info from Axxess. I'll do a small writeup along the way.

Still have to fab something to fill the gaps around the HU but that's for another day.
