Hi everyone,
I just picked up my 2013 and it has the basic sync stereo, which is fairly awful. I think my first mod to the car is going to be the stereo. I'm fairly dead set on getting a Parrot Asteroid for the head unit, now the question comes in form of the dash kit.
I saw the maestro kit, but the lack of buttons to control the climate is kind of dishartening - by going with a non kenwood deck I know I'd be missing something, rear defrost, or ability to go between max ac and normal, or something along those lines, seeing how limited the hard buttons are.
So that takes me to the other kits out there:
The scosche ( http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-FD1441B-Mustang-Double-Pocket/dp/B00664KRCU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_2 ) looks like it does a nice job of blending buttons and touchscreen, but puts the stereo the lowest. I would love it if it was backwards, the hvac controls down low and the stereo higher, but no such luck.
Then there are the 2 metra kits, there's one with an all touchscreen interface, and one with buttons for the climate control, and what looks like a replacement but yet similar LCD ( http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-5823CH ) and hard buttons, and one with only a touch screen ( http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-5826CH++++++ )
So the question is, who installed what and how do you like it? Pics? Issues? Is the plastic color a perfect fit to the oem interior?
I think the shifter is short enough on the 2013 that it won't be a problem to have the stereo that low, but still interested in hearing the different opinions.
As long as I can run Torque on the thing, I'll be very happy
