I'm a new owner- actually won't have the car until the weekend. It's pristine and stock, a 96-T. For the purpose of adding some modern features I want to make some changes. Nothing that is not reversible. I'd like to ask the advice of others who have done these things and get your recommendations for the best parts and approach.
First item: I'd like to change the center console to install a double-din combo nav/stereo. I am skilled with plastic and fiberglass, so I have a couple options on the trim- One, my first choice would be to buy an aftermarket part if I can find a good one, or two- I could buy a salvage OEM part and modify it to get what I need. I also could then use the modified version it to make a mold, and produce fiberglass duplicates to have original one piece parts. Looking for sources for either a good aftermarket double-din console, or a reasonably good used one for the modification process. The original would be stored to retain the ability to go back to stock.
Second item: Recommendations for the best combo nav/stereo to fill that new trim. I'd prefer touch screen and back-up camera display capabilities along with the ability to use an ipod or usb stick as a music source.
Third: I want to add keyless remote. The car apparently does not have it and I don't think it has the dealer-installed module. Just looking for a good aftermarket recommendation.
Any experience with these? your advice appreciated!
