So far, so good! Connection is good but I left town the day after install. When I get home I can further update you, but this is such a good upgrade IMO. Really modernizes the car and makes it feel new!

Hey buddy, I got the 10 inch one as the 12 Would Look way too large.

Shipping saw a bit of an initial snafu, because DHL lost the first package. Once it was determined that it was lost Dmp sent out another package and that one arrived within eight days or so once shipped.

Sorry to bump an old thread but did anyone ever find out of a retrofit of the digital gauges from the 2019+ model was possible?
