OEM Navigation Head Unit Refresh/LCD Screen Upgrade - Hi gang! Is anyone aware of a company or individual that can upgrade the OEM navigation head unit with a modern LCD screen with Android and Apple CarPlay? I recall seeing this online, but I'm unable to remember whether it was on this forum, social media, or the web. I hope someone here has seen this and can validate the fact that I wasn't imagining it!

Sorry to rag on this topic too long, but I am thinking either Ohlins or TCK's.

Are the camber plates that come eith TCK's any good or should I be looking at other plates?

Also I have read that that Ohlins need some type of spacer from 3DM to still have sufficient travel when lowered, just wanted to confirm.

I am trying to make a single purchase (package deal) if possible and Vorshlag sells the Ohlins with their plates as a package but I may render the dampers useless if I go to low w/o said spacers.

Maybe create a dedicated thread? don't be shy =)

The spacers don't increase travel they increase ride height by elevating the strut. I did not need the spacers running Z65-203-070 swift springs with Vorhslags.

didn't someone here vinyl wrap their OE strut brace piece? need some ideas on how to do it.
