Looks great.
Did you do the bezel mod or buy one? I have done two, one with and one without the ashtray. This is mine, I installed seat heater switches, aux LED lights switch ( behind the shifter), and a duel USB plug in the center of the old door after moulding it in. The keyfob is the remote to my home alarm system.
I agree it's a great upgrade, from the stock system.

You're gonna want a steering wheel-mounted remote. I bought the one that I linked in my post https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ing-wheel.html
It looks a little kludgy, and after 2-3 months' use, the OEM mounting straps seem to give a little. Reinforcement with a couple unobtrusively thin zip-ties really holds the unit in place very well.
I knocked the sharp edges off remote control with a file and sandpaper where the back edge meets the steering wheel bolster-- that'll increase the ability to twist the remote unit around the wheel's tubing, and increase the remote's reliability from ~90% to dead ***** on every time.
And if you haven't changed out the front Blose speakers, replace'm with JL Audio C5-650's and have a listen. You'll be pleased.
