Pics below, as requested.
I've been able to take the car out for a few spirited drives and I am definitely in the honeymoon phase. It was also fun on my daily 50-mile commute (each way) and less annoying than my manual transmission when I was in bumper-to-bumper traffic. No complaints here.
My 4-year old fits great in the back with a ridesafer travel vest. The negative so far is that he now sits too low to see out of the windows, so he gets a view of the tops of trees, bridges, and the sky. But he still asks to go for a ride every day, so it can't be all that bad! And I might try that vest in conjunction with the booster seat they sell.
Tonight I pulled fuse 19, installed the CTEK MUS 4.3 and the BOVEE WMA1000 and have the phone and streaming audio connect concurrently on my Android.
For maintenance, I ordered some 303 fabric protector/cleaner for the roof. I think I'm going to order this RaggTopp brush, but haven't yet. I also ordered some carpet retainer clips for the floormats from SNG Barratt, which is luckily local to me.
There are some random sticky pieces of rubber or plastic, like the MODE button on the steering wheel and the luggage protector that a baby wipe hasn't fixed yet. I'll break out some heavy duty cleaners later, but will read first on the forum if there are any preferred cleaners for the non-leather pieces of interior.
That's it for now. Thanks again.

I originally looked for this color blue with london tan interior but after 6 months settled for IRR . Great combo and enjoy the ride.

I think I know what happened, these seats were intended for the Ftype, which was never meant to have all the bells and whistles anyways.
