    If I were you, I’d buy the
    $29 ACC-SAT-TO2 Sat Radio and GPS Antenna adaptors for TO2 Vehicles
    ACC-SAT-TO2 and retain the factory GPS antenna.

    Installed my GPS adapter today and it works well. Also ran HDMI/USB to replace the 12v cigarette lighter in center console. Also reflashed my maestro to 2.09. Hope it plays better with my W4500NEX.

    Installed my 8500 NEX today. Everything looks great I did have to deal with a troubleshooting issue where the sound was really low. I even tried reflashing the maestro. In the end it turned it out that I just had to reset the maestro and after that the sound worked great. I love this radio. Sounds awesome paired with the factory JBL.

    I got the 6 foot version of
    $10 OBVIS – USB3.0 and HDMI Extension Flush Dash Panel Mount Cable for Car Boat Motorcycle (6 Feet)
    this. Honestly maybe the 3' version would be ok? I ended up coiling a few feet of it with zip ties beneath the wireless charger. I followed this guide to remove the different sections of the center console. Theres a chrome delete guide some where that goes into more detail. Getting the old cigarette lighter out was a pain in the *ss. I ended up ripping it out with needle nose pliers because I didn't understand how it attached and its extremely difficult to see the pins. Turns out there are tabs you push in and can pull it out fairly easily. This is info I used. I know somebody on here describes pushing the pins in in detail, but I can't find it.

    Actually here are some photos of the old thing pulled out.IMG_1450.jpgIMG_1448.jpgIMG_1447.jpg
