The front leather seats and other wear spots had some cracks and worn spots. I redyed the front leather seats and wear spots in 2025.
In 2020, I completely replaced the factory Mark Levinson stereo system with:
• Kenwood Excelon DNX995S head unit, navigation and SiriusXM tuner
• Kenwood Excelon X302-4 Class D 4 Channel Amplifier (50 watts RMS per channel @ 4 ohms)
• Kenwood X502-1 Class D Monoblock Amplifier (300 watts RMS @ 4 ohms)
• Infinity Primus 6 x 9 coaxial (front)
• JBL Club 5.25 inch coaxial (rear)
• Polk 8 inch subwoofer (rear)
• License plate backup camera integrated into head unit
• Adapter wiring to enable volume steering wheel buttons to control the head unit
Issues:
• In 2022, I had a minor front-end collision. Front hood, bumper and grille replaced. Airbags did not deploy, no engine or radiator damage
• Key fob sometimes doesn’t activate the electronic door locks
• TMPS indicator light (yellow) is constantly on, there are no TMPS sensors in the tires
• There is a small dent in the trunk lid, from someone who sat on the trunk
