Updates and Upgrades
Finally finishing up my upgrade project. New seat covers and foam, new Redline Goods flat bottom steering wheel, new APSIS armrest, new old stock head unit, and grab bar covers. Lloyd's mats complete the new look.

Man I would like one of those head units! That's a good find. Had one back in the day with XM when that was like a brand new service. It was awesome.

Interior looks great, David. That's a nice steering wheel, also.

Yes. Got an old XM tuner unit. Just have to install it. I do have the compatible 12 disc CD changer with the IPBuss connector. That and new JL Audio speakers, a sub, and amps.

Where did you get the seat covers and foam? Those look like stock seats that just came out of the factory. Very well done. Also, I'm just curious, what advantages does the new head unit have over the stock one? I don't think I've seen one of those before.

Looks good! Where did you get the airbag emblem?

Mid-America Corvette for the seat covers and Ecklers for the seat foam

great find on the head unit... I had replaced the 1.5din headunit in my 98 grand cherokee with one of those. if you're not going to go double din, those are great.

RCA outputs to add subwoofers or amps to the door speakers, XM capability, and nicer EQ settings mostly. Those were the last 1.5 DIN radios Pioneer ever built (or anyone, maybe...) so they are sought after online and fetch a decent amount still today.

Looking pretty good there. Love all the upgrades you've done. That head unit is pretty cool as they've already said too. I actually have 2 of them in my garage. The only reason I'm not using them is they don't have the bluetoooth, SD card slot or USB connection. They do sound good though.

All so very true. That's exactly why I sought it out. The capability to adjust the sound is really great!
