Hero I bought the car from put a radio with a flip screen. It conveniently covers my AC vents. Thanks hero.
While I love the rear camera that I installed (holy fuckballs, it'll change your reverse parking game), I don't like having to close it when running the AC.

I hear you on the looks, that's why I was happy they make ones that fit my E30.
This thing doe, it's not really like anything else.

The stupid bezel options cost as much as the damned head unit.
I've been particularly intrigued by this
debating pulling the trigger to see how well it can fit.

I just want one that does bluetooth. I never used BT when I bought my HU, but now it's all I use.
It's not a daily, so it's really NBD.

Yea, I finally upgraded just to get BT because I was taking calls often in the car. The bluetooth in my Sony unit works well...I'm surprised people can hear me clearly with how loud the car is inside. I've been told it's solid.

unpopular opinion: I kinda like the stock head unit in the
'Tis
wired in an aux cable, and that's really all I need. Bluetooth/ android auto would be tite, but not really necessary in the racebrub
Plus double dins just look out of place. call me crazy, but there's just something nostalgic about that dang 90s gm head unit

I have the base seats and the lack of lumbar support is
Oh well, I have never actually seen the poverty seeds in the flesh. I agree with Detroit that the βsport seats β Are actually rather comfortable. They do suck on track though. I would skip the C6 seats for some aftermarket...

I got a Kenwood on Crutchfield for like $95. Definitely worth it for Bluetooth and it has variable backlighting so I could color match the green to the HVAC screen. Worthwhile upgrade IMO, it was cheaper/easier than just adding that aux port like Troy, plus no wires is nice.
My stock head unit is free if you want it.

After about ten minutes if driving the dash heated up and accepted a cd. I'll keep an eye on it thanks for all the offers.
There's also less sport seats for sale than I expected

C5 Sport Seats? I mean, mine are casually for sale. They're even 50th AE!!!!!
Only problem is they are basically white, the 50 AE had a "special" taupe interior. Mine are in really great shape though, my C5 has the nicest interior of any C5 I've ever seen,
can vouch for this.

If they were black I'd come throw money at you.
There's no such thing as corners here so the lumbar and looks would be my main reasons, but the bolsters would be a nice bonus.
Now you have me day dreaming about buying tan seats, doors, and carpet and having them dyed Kalahari tan like the C7 interior

For the one year they had green on the C7, I thought that on Kalahari was the best color combo of all C7's. Still do I think.

My best friend's neighbor has one in that color but he keeps it in Florida year round. Even when he's up here for the summer
