Well, I figured I would update this, seeing as I just checked this one of the "to do" list about 15 minutes ago...
In person it looks a hell of a lot better than in pictures, and even the photos are pretty good. It matches the dash much better than anticipated, and is flush without the need for spacers. Color and finish are on par, and it looks like it could be a factory installed part. The "incomplete cut" due to the MyGig being a hair narrower than the RB1 actually does not look out of place at all- it actually looks like an intentional "visual" applique meant to "break up" the square shape of the radio, as it happens to end at the mating point of two of the buttons on each side [intentional symmetry], and there is a black structure immediately behind, preventing you from "seeing" through it like a window. Overall I am very happy with how it turned out.
Last up, we are waiting for a software patch that will activate the button illumination, and we also hope to offer at minimum Blue and Green as color options. They are default Green, but there are a bunch of blue button boards floating around that were made for a particular application, I am hoping to get my hands on some of them.
Pricing is not set in stone as of yet, but is estimated to be approximately a 1495.00 basic install charge plus the cost of the head unit, which can range from 500-2000 depending on which version. The basic install includes all of the machine work, fitment, module adapter, wiring, connectors, etc. Additional options are integration of a UConnect Microphone Mirror that includes Auto-Dimming and LED lighting [Shown]. Standard Install includes UConnect Microphone Only. Head Unit options range from a Used RER [~500-600] to a New RHR [same as RER, but has newer software, Bluetooth audio streaming, extra USB port, more display options, Satellite Rewind, etc- ~2000 for a new one]
