Both arm rests are starting to split and crack, both seat are getting worse also.

Just switch them out so at least the top sides won't show. I hope I'm explaining this correct.
By switching the broken sides will be facing down.

My new toy


Just a quick mock up


Went back out and finished up our shopping. Really wasn't going to have time to install the tomorrow, so i did it tonight.




They need some adjusting but wow what a difference.

Had to cut some of the header panel out for clearance on the back side, really quick work with a rotozip thou.

They both would be good!!!
I guess I'm not explaining right.

If you put her cover on your side and your cover on her side. You would have the good unused sides facing up.

SO BOTH tops would be good

He keeps pitchin' em and you keep missin' em! It does indeed flip the material so the bad side is down.

It only took about 2 hrs, that was with soldering the wires together.

Great, it will look better and you really can't tell if cracks are facing down.

"new" dvd/navi/stuff head unit is here! It comes with two books, one for installing and one to use it. lol

Lots of reading for me to do now and figure out how to get the rear factory dvd to work with this unit.

The dvd has multiple video and audio outs as well as multiple ins for each. Plenty of options for sure!

One thing I noticed with a quick glance over the install instructions is that the unit has a brake, reverse, and speed inputs. I assume the reverse input is for the back up camera. I also assume the brake input and speed input are for safety (can't use dvd while moving) and the like. While the brake input is dead simple to bypass whats the deal with the speed input? I am sure there is a way to bypass that as well.

So much stuff!
