First, last week I bought a $7 set of car trim removal tools from Amazon which are necessary. Amazon.com: MICTUNING 8PCS Auto Trim Removal Tool Set for Car Audio Dash Door Panel Window Molding Fastener Remover Tool Kit: Automotive
Today I installed this mods4cars convertible unit. Not complicated at all. This video was very helpful. https://youtu.be/hfkVAtCKiFo The only difficulty, if you want to call it that, is it's pretty tight back there once you roll the carpet back and it kinda feels like you're working upside down and backwards so you just have to look at the connectors on the dongle you're installing to see what to disconnect and pull out the little red tab on the existing unit so it unlocks and comes out. It's a little hard to see exactly what you're doing but it's fairly intuitive. Slow and steady it took me 30 minutes and that includes a few tries to open the top more so I could maybe get a better angle in to see what I was doing (I couldn't).
I'm waiting for the Blendmount rearview adaptors to come off backorder so I can install a Uniden r7 radar detector without having to run the line to the fuse box, which I'll likely do with my new Garmin mini dashcam that I got in the mail today, which is something I've never done before but these boards are giving me a lot of confidence to try.

I managed to get a set of HRE FF11 wheels in satin black before Christmas but the weather has only just got warm enough to stick the summer tyres back on....
Fit and finish is spot on. Apologies for the mucky car, but it’s a daily driver not a garage queen 😅

My total faux pas can no doubt be attributed to my 70 years of age and the eyes of the eagle are not as sharp as they were. But back to your car. It's indeed beyond satisfying to see someone actually drive the car on a cloudy or rainy day. Mine will be, like all my vehicles driven year round. When the finance guy asked if I wanted PPF or ceramic I told him I want the 4 air post jacks like on the IMSA or F1 cars in the 80s which is where I'm going to be spending 4.5 grand. For the rest, it's a car, it will be driven, it will get dirty as for therapy I have my Siberian Huskies

I would would have driven it even more this winter if it hadn’t been for our lockdown. It was typical we had more snow here in Scotland than we have had for years and I wasn’t able to fully test out my Alpin 5s! Must admit when I did drive on the snow with them I was mighty impressed.
Had the pleasure of being on a dog sled Safari once in Whistler - absolutely awesome!!!🐾🐾🤩 I’m not sure I could even get my 3 cocker spaniels running in a straight line 🤣
Sending greetings from Scotland for a great weekend👍
