The rear suspension is from the CX-7. I think this was due to added weight capacity. The valving and length of those is probably a compromise for use on multiple cars.

I had to swap the little clips off the top of my old radio to make the new one snap in. For the time to set correctly I had to change the time zone that was set and then connected to Wi-Fi.

So I ordered one last night for $136. When I looked just a min ago there is now a $20 coupon so I cancelled and reordered this morning. I will be using Android Auto. My plan is to put one of the USB ports where the line in Jack is next to the power port. But I may need an extension for that...

Where are the USB ports on it?

That looks good. What unit is it?

If they are pulling the engine you might do the timing chain, guides, water pump and thermostat.
