Bought a grey denali console and sub (as well as its EC rear view mirror)

Tried it out for a few days and decided it was a keeper.

Upgraded it with LED lighting cannibalized from the town and country console for the OEM+ look… as well as installed a lightning cable for my CarPlay into the upper section, and wired it so it goes to a single 4pin for power,ground and audio +/- on drivers side, plus usb on right side so it is easy to unplug and remove in the future… like when I get new carpet. I used a 1-2 ft usb extension so the join to the apple cable is accessible by just removing the lid and thus serviceable in the future.

Oh and I stripped it down to bare parts, sanded the leather with 400 and 800 grit to get rid of the plasticizer layer, and changed the color to SEM lt neutral to match the Escalade surround and color matched dash.

Overall it’s 100 times better than when I pulled it out of the junkyard!
