With a little luck, I can put this all together next week before my wife leaves for a business trip that will push this into February. If not, I'll be a total bit*h the week she's gone
I'm waiting for mine too

I'm with you. I just don't get the whole neck pillow thing. Not only are the terribly uncomfortable, but they just look like a cheap add-on... even the really nice ones. I really wished I could like them because I have severe spinal stenosis in my neck and I could probably benefit from extra support.
Adrian, please text me Maciek's email address, I'd like to talk to him about a few things. Funny how he translated his name to Mike. Thanks !

Just ordered mirror mount and tap for $40 as a best offer. I will return the Savvy and Concealed display back to Valentine. Getting to old to do a full install like I did on my G35 with the savvy through the OBD port and CD on top of the Steering Column. Also I am worried about the suction cups given out again and dinging up the shifter bezel. I ordered new suction cups but don't want to take the risk.

I was and I am. And then I got a more decisive email from "Jack" where Mike was cc'd, so I'm assuming Jack is the owner. On another topic, he was asking me about sending them my armrest lid. Seems they're winging it with the armrest on the G, and never had an actual lid to do proper measurements and fitment with. (Hey 4DRZ, sound about right? LOL)

Do you know if these guys are physically in Poland, or if they're here in North America, but their supplies and skills are overseas?

The mount is normally $35 and I paid $40 for mount and cable OTD. $5 for the cable that cost you $2 is well worth it for me. Time is money

Ah, welcome to the dark side. Make yourself comfortable, you'll be staying a while.

Is that black-chrome a nickle-plated finish, or is it powder-coat?

AFAIK, the first is metal plating; the second is paint.

All of my dealings were with "Mike" via e-mail. I asked him the same question about where they are located. According to him, the company is on the east coast, but the parts are made in and shipped from Poland. Hopefully, your armrest fits ok.

If I remember correctly, you want to open the armrest and look for a cover plate near the back where the black metal arms from the armrest cover come down. Once you pop off that cover plate with a small screwdriver, you should see 4 screws to remove the armrest cover.

I think there are a few screws on the bottom of the armrest cover to take off the plastic bottom in order to allow you to remove the "leather" cover.

Ah. Then that's a removable cover plate between the hinge arms. Roger.

Thanks!

Have you considered getting matching leather on the door panel arm-rests?
