Black A-pillar trim? AFAIK, all pillar trim pieces and headliners are the same grayish/tannish color across all models and color combos.


Why do you think this is? I can't stand it I wish it matched the rest of the interior. Safety thing for rescuers? Visibility thing for law enforcement?

I think it's simply a penny-pinching maneuver. Go with one color material that's neutral and fits (subjective) with all other interior color options and you cut costs.

I wouldn't want it to be a dark color, at least not ebony like the rest of my interior is. This would make the interior feel much smaller and cramped. The lighter color "opens it up". I replaced the light gray headliner in my XJ with charcoal gray material and it made the already small cabin feel even smaller.

What I'd like to do is dye it all a grey color, something like the non-metallic version of the body color would work.

Didn't think of it that way, makes sense for cost cutting. Still can't stand it though lol. Especially where the pillars meet the dash, such a clash of color. Drives me nuts.

I honestly have no idea, I pulled mine out and put a aftermarket one in, I have never tried to plug it back in to see. maybe it's time to upgrade? wireless android auto is pretty convenient, waze starts up automatically as soon as I turn the key on, actually Waze and Sirius, I have the Sirius app on my phone so I can skip songs which is pretty cool compared to a plain Sirius receiver, Since they did the update a few weeks ago it makes it even better now, then yesterday I was reading that wireless android auto works with samsung phones now, it was just the google phones only
I may try to find an android based head unit I like. Most of the double dins I’ve used weren’t very impressive- and an android tablet in the dash would be neat. Running spotify nativly on it would be perfect

I am running the Range Technology disabler device.
Do you have the updated valve cover? maybe test blowby on a cold start bg flipping oil cap upside down and see how quickly its pushed back up?

@Doubeleive these are the two radios I’ve been looking at. The android would be cool because its essentially a tablet with a bunch of extra equipment. The Sony would be cool because its gonna be way easier to set up.

I highly suggest one of the newer ones capable of wireless Android Auto, wireless Car Play and wireless Miracast. I had a Sony back awhile ago and wasn't impressed, Pioneer makes way better products IMO. The wireless options are only found in a few European cars and aftermarket units. They use Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth for higher bandwidth thus enabling all functions to be wireless instead of just music.https://www.amazon.com/AVH-W4400NEX...L4/?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid={creative}&hvpos={adposition}&hvnetw=o&hvrand={random}&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl={devicemodel}&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583932700493562&psc=1

I have the pioneer w8400nex https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/NEX/AVIC-W8400NEX
only pioneer and kenwood have had wireless but jvc just came on board
I also use the maestro rr which interfaces with the obd port and gives me full operation of the bose y92
beats the heck out of a stock unit
the jvc or kenwood units are down to $499 now
