I used the SSD to test things out while the CF card chugged along, and eventually used the (cheaper!) CF card for the actual install, buried deep within the dashboard.

The empeg sounds fantastic (as one would expect!), and doesn't look overly shabby despite the "velco installation" for the front panel. After 12 years of empeg bliss, I have really, REALLY missed having an empeg in the new vehicle for the past year.

There are installation photos.. but later!
