You can get your GPS aerial in the factory location by pulling out the old one and threading the new one back through. I have the same stereo and have the connector in the arm rest.

Looks great! I would buy however I do not know how some black pieces will look with a savannah beige interior, may contrast too much.

Sorry, but thatīs not the kind of my taste! Work is not really good, the stitched do not extend clean straight, the grained leather is absolutely not compatible with the oem smooth nappa leather and stitching from your hood is a no go!
so it should look:

I'd really like something for my steering wheel. If anyone stumbles across something please post the link on here.
Thanks.

exactly! to each his own.
But just because i donīt like it, must I lie and say how great it looks?
I just have other claims in terms of quality.

My mum always said to me
" if you can't find anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
She taught me that even if i didn't like someone i should still try to find a positive, like they had nice shoes or nice hair.
He was not asking for you to lie, in fact he wasn't asking for your opinion - it was a 'show and tell' post not a 'crush my spirit' thread.
There could have been 50 people look at this who had an opinion either way but chose to say nothing. And those that liked it, posted positive feedback.
Just be a little more considerate?

Couldn't agree more Essex. Everyone has their own taste. I have always believed that the only opinion that matters is my own when it comes to upgrades, colors etc. I certainly do not want to rain on someone's parade when my taste doesn't align with their taste. That's just common courtesy, which is something that is lacking in society all too often

Hey guys, if he likes it and he is satisfied with it, it makes me happy.
So I can still express my opinion, as I have to live with it, if others do not like, what I have on my car converted.
Unfortunately you can not to please everyone and I personally prefer it, someone tells me the truth as he's lying in my face.

I like it. But, more importantly is that I like that there are options for folks that don't have the OEM leather. To the OP.. was it tough to I nstall? I went on his site and read that its just the leather.

It took me about 1hour to fit it. You have a bit of trimming to do but other than that it's fairly easy

SpiderRS,
What do the buttons on your steering wheel do?
Looks like you've got a Manual, so it's not a "flappy paddle" replacement, and I think I spy the stock head unit, so presumably not volume controls...
