Moved the AC controls to the top and the HU to the middle so the screen would not block the center vent.

Moved the center bar in the surround up to fit the AC control with no gap. Had Leather Magic in Monroe, NC refinish the surround to the stock texture. They did an awesome job



Also added the XM Commander in the ash tray area.
