    Rear LED Fail-Wire Harness?

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Please keep us updated on this Joe, I was eyeing this unit for a while but was hesitant because of the cheap price point for such a unit and because no one on this forum had one. Might pull the trigger =)

    Rear LED Fail-Wire Harness?

    Aftermarket Apple Carplay Receiver 2016 Exp. XLT
