      It is a multi-piece kit I believe this customer got from Speedlab but it is readily available on a number of sites. Install is where the details live and we have a great bodyshop we work with.

        How much do you know about the uConnect info system with regards to how it ties into other systems in the car.
        2017 500 Abarth, manual trans, NAV, Beats, Sunroof, 17" wheels, everything. But no mods. None, nada.

            I’m trying to add a rear-view camera to the stock, 2017 uConnect head unit, which currently has none. A company called Rostra makes a supposed plug-and-play interface for multiple Chrysler models which use the same uConnect 5 unit, but they’ve never tested on a FIAT of the same year, and hence, can’t guarantee it will interface properly.
            Any reason why the FIAT uConnect 5 is any different than the Chrysler uConnect 5?

              Are those hood vents worthwhile? I'm Keen on getting some, but they are rather $$

                That is a good question and I agree with you that it should work but you never know. Unfortunately there is always a first timer and although FCA is going to most likely use the same system in the two cars you won't know until you try.

                  They are awesome for extracting heat out of the engine bay. This particular customer runs the hell out his car and is always worried about function over form. He loves them. Pricey to install is usually why people don't do them.
