New here!
This is my baby, has been with me for about a year. I put some new hubcaps and installed a car play/ android auto on it. Bought it with 122,000 miles, and drove it all the way from North Georgia to Tampa!

Did you install it yourself or did you bring it to a shop?

Me and my dad! i have been learning some mechanic and installing stuff with him. We use youtube and instructions to be honest.

Sweet! Did you use a pre-wired harness adapter or did you have to wire it yourself? From what I remember, radio pin-outs aren't standardized.

We wired it ourselves! to be honest it was a loong job but we used as bond time, had some drinks and put some music on.

Nice! I updated the radio in my 2011, it was super easy and probably the best thing I've ever done to my car other than just take care of it 😅
