Thanks for the feedback nicoli, I'm glad you are enjoying the Fabspeed. The radio and camera looks good, very nicely installed. Enjoy
Thanks, Alex. I want to slide under there and take a pic soon..just haven't yet. I feel like an adult driving it too, something else I was worried about. My car just sounds amazing now, it doesn't drone, and I don't feel like a teenager driving it. It turned out great.

The trip and info PCM buttons leave with the PCM unit, yes. I had PCM Nav as well, and the in-dash arrow is gone, along with the radio channel display there. The Kenwood has its own trip computer functions, including if you wish, a gps map tracking history of movement every time the car is driven with individual entries you can browse later. In other words, if someone is not aware of this ability (and manually erases the entry), you can track and display exactly where it was driven when you were not in the car.
The other functions accessed through the stalk like turning on and off the lighted sports chronometer and having a readout of lap times in the dash, are all active. The sport and sport plus buttons function with accelerator response, PASM, and PDK exactly as before.
