Had to say goodbye to my OpenAuto Pro setup in the Camaro after either the Raspberry Pi or SD card gave up on me. Since OAP isn't being developed anymore, I figured it wasn't worth trying to resurrect that setup. Time for something new!
I ended up going with a Kenwood Excelon DMX908S mainly because it has wireless Android Auto, which was a must-have for me. Installing it was actually pretty straightforward this time around - I wasn't about to spend days trying to modify an OEM bezel like I did before. Found this company called Screaming Chicken that makes a double DIN bezel specifically for 82-92 Camaros. Yeah, it wasn't cheap, but beats the headache of 3D printing or fabricating one from scratch. The texture is pretty close to the OEM texture, I might still paint it with some SEM satin black.
So far I'm really happy with how it turned out. Just waiting for this weather to warm up so I can take the car out and give it a better listen and tune.
