Hmm.. I have an old Galaxy3 smart phone sitting here on a shelf.. maybe I could install a camera with wi fi that would chat with my smart phone.... It could be sitting in its holder on the little front parcel tray....Hadn't thought about installing a rear view camera,, but I think its a great idea. I have a VDP with the extra rear head rests that tend to block the view, and now I think about it.. its always a "pay attention time" when backing up,.. think I will follow up on this extra feature. Is there an app for that ??? lol

I thought the modification of the turn signals to work with the side markers didn' t work with LED's unless you used relays.

Just ordered these LED's on Amazon for the Back-up lights. They have a "projector" style tip, so should push out more backwards facing light. Will inform after receipt and installation.

Finished stereo install. I also added fold down panel in trunk to hide sub and amp. This provided a side benefit of reducing my exhaust sound in cabin by adding additional sound insulation.

Wow. Beautiful job. And I love the a/c vents where the chain-smoker ashtrays were. P.S. good to see a dog that appreciates fine motor cars.
