    Pear woodgrain dash trim found on Amazon. Matches the quicksand paint color pretty well.

    Do you think I should move this thread to that builds (2016+) category?

    I mean, that thread is specific for people tracking and logging their builds.

    You do you though. I just throw it out there if people don't know.

    New Kenwood receiver with wireless Android Auto dropped in yesterday. Amazing I never have to pick up my phone on the road again. The Google assistant voice recognition is awesome for changing music, text replies, making phone calls, searching for destinations and starting navigation. With the maestro rr unit all of the steering wheel controls remained. The one down side is loss of the compass on the instrument cluster. Does anyone know if that will come back if I connect the factory GPS antennae, or is that integrated with the factory navigation?

    Is that a wrap or a complete panel? I like the looks of that.

    It is a hard plastic wrap that comes in two pieces. One on each side of the steering column. It was very easy to install and it didn't cause any issues when I put the new stereo in. I would definitely do it again. They had several colors available.
