Got ambient light trim for rear doors, and dashboard. Ive only test fitted the dashboard one and it fits. The rear door ones are the same size, but i havent taken door panels off yet. Ive been looking at these on Aliexpress for awhile and finally pulled the trigger. Havent figured out how im going to attach them as the tabs dont really line up. When i get the connectors for the LEDs i will do a little write up

Trim for my new windshield/camera, and a NAR spec MIB 2.5 to replace the EU spec unit I have now. I want (the option to subscribe to) XM again, haha.

Where'd you source the 2.5 unit? Every so often I think about upgrading to get Nav in the virtual cockpit but it seems like a heavy lift for possibly minimal gain..

I bought this one from the dealer. But I already had 2.5, a modified Euro spec unit. Going 2.5 also means going to the 9-in all glass display. If you just want maps in the dash MIB II with nav is all you need... Assuming your car has the main unit in the glove box.
If you have the all-in-one unit that's in the dash then you will need more, I think there's a thread about replacing that unit.
If you're coming from MIB I... I don't know what the prices are right now for MIB II retrofit but I have to think it's a good bit cheaper than 2.5.

Man. I'd love your hacked EU 2.5 unit, since something like XM doesn't matter to me. But no working Android Auto is a complete dealbreaker for me. That's why I don't care about XM, is I use AA 24/7 when in the car.

I kind of pretended it wasn't a deal-breaker for me for a while, mostly because of how much money I had spent and not being thrilled about the level of vendor support I received... But that was just me trying to play a mind game on myself.
For me there's also the issue of speakers not working without a time delay relay. That's an even bigger problem for anyone without Fender.
XM isn't a huge deal it just bothers me to have anything installed that doesn't work, even if I don't plan to use it. Honestly if I had Android Auto working I likely wouldn't miss XM at all, I never subscribed after the trial ended. But without Android Auto I often use the factory nav. I have the 2021 maps and they are great as long as you have the address. Obviously lacking if you're searching for something by name, but if XM worked so that I could have traffic info I would be fine. No traffic info in LA is a real problem, haha.
I'm looking to sell to someone who uses Carplay exclusively, doesn't care about XM, and has fender. Of course I haven't tested the unit with Fender. So I wouldn't be an ass about it as-is blah blah, I would refund and take the unit back if it didn't work haha.
