Details on how you painted it?

I made sure to separate the ashtray assembly from the shift console. You probably dont need to.. But it's cleaner for me.

I also removed the shift boot as well, since I was getting a new boot anyway.

Then hit everything with soap and water, and a scotchbrite pad to rough the surfaces up a bit.

Covered the chrome trim on the ashtray with some clear packing tape, then cut around it with an xacto. There's a tiny bit of bleed on it, but super hard to tell.

I used Valspar flat black, and flat topcoat rattle cans from Lowe's.

3 coats of black, then 3 coats of clear.

It sat around for a few days after, as well. I also made sure to wait a few hours between paint, and clear coat application.

Came out looking good.

Where did you source the USB port. I'd like to find one with USB-C port.

I picked it up at a local Car Toys. they have a few different flavors. I did have to dremel out some material from the console, but no biggie.

It's a bonus that the kenwood HU fast charges my galaxy s7 as well!

Here's my completed install.

big thanks to dwolson2 for the instructions, and SVXdc for the RAD harness.
