Installed new dash speaker grills.
The old ones crumbled to bits as I touched them.
My automatic headlights should work correctly now. 😁

What's the connection between the speaker grills and the automatic headlights? I've sometimes wondered where the sensor(s) for the headlights is.

I spend most of Sunday pulling my dash bezel off, roof console down, removing my old dash camera, removing my single din Pioneer radio, cleaning up a bunch of wiring in the dash via some tesa-tape that I half-assed in the past... Finally got around to installing what I set off to install, my new double din Android head unit It's a cheap unit, but the price was right and it doesn't everything I was looking for it to do. Has a built in dash camera, have it link to my home WiFi so it syncs music to my home server automatically, navigation, bluetooth, steering wheel controls interface, the works. So far I'm loving the radio. The only thing I'll probably replace this one for is a full-on car-PC system.


Only real thing I'm missing is a volume ****... I really like having a physical spinning volume ****... but I can deal with it...
























Although it has sub pre-amp outputs, it doesn't have much for control on them, so I had to resort back to my old line-level controller mounted down in the ash tray. Works for me, I don't use the ash tray anyhow

Very nice setup.
I used the ashtray to mount my fog light switch(s).

Pyle PLDNANDVR695


Not a big Pyle fan, but it works. Has a few quirks that probably is mostly due to the "cheap" manufacturing of it, but it will suffice for now to run Android on

Honestly, it seems to have helped with the higher speed stability some. Doesn't seem to drift left and right as much like it use to. The steering input feels a little more precise.
