Mine is GT Silver (may be a different shade than yours) but I went with CF Stone Guard accents as I have a lot of CF inside and it ties the inside to the outside.

Thanks for sharing the pics. GT Silver was my preferred silver actually, it's a bit darker than Platinum. I'm considering black stone guards as well. I plan to swap my black Carrera Sport wheels for Turbo II wheels. But in doing so I lose all that black so that's why I was thinking I may like the stone guards.

Had to remove the tint due to it being too dark to pass inspection. I plan to add it back at a later date. Swapped in the clear side markers.

Default updated nav

Also ditched the PCM for a Pioneer AVIC-8200NEX. Among the improvements over PCM:

HD Radio
Android Auto/CarPlay
Updated maps/map functionality (e.g., traffic)

Interested in what was done with bluetooth. I'd like to get traffic on my GPS but oddly enough this is the first car I've owned where I didn't immediately want to change the head unit. Kinda odd considering it's fairly dated at this point.

Do you have a specific question about Bluetooth? Only difference with PCM I'm aware of is that with Android Auto uses Bluetooth for the phone connection even tho the Pioneer requires a cable for the other functionality (maps, Google Now, etc.) phone. Maybe Bluetooth for streaming music, but I'm not sure about that. Other than that it's the same as PCM afaik.

Yeah, you can add a loading image and wallpaper of your choice via the USB or SD card.

The microphone. Using OE microphone or using one that came with the new hardware? Notice any integration issues so far?

Got u. There's' an external mic that came with the unit. They mounted it on the rear view mirror. No issues so far. I've used it for calls and to reply to texts via Android Auto.
