How do you like the upgrades?

Stuff like that is par for the course, if you're a content creator. I shrug it off.
I'm very happy with the fog lights. They look cool (in my opinion), and they're functional.
The backup camera was more work than anticipated. Retrofitting the stock unit was probably more work than installing an aftermarket one. Because I had to extricate the wiring from a Prius in the junkyard, then graft it into my car's wiring harness.
The Android radio is basically a tablet computer, in your dash. It has wifi, bluetooth, USB, etc. So for example, you can pair it up with your phone and play music from Spotify, have it do navigation, send & receive phone calls, etc. It also has an AM/FM tuner, and can play music files from a USB device. There's probably more stuff it can do, but I've only scratched the surface.
Unfortunately, the radio doesn't have front panel USB ports. But it does have 2 USB connections in back. So I bought a USB outlet, and installed it in place of the cigar lighter socket. I'm a fan of the "OEM Plus" look, so I tried to make it look like a factory option.
BTW, the Android radio was provided by a sponsor. I didn't get it for free, but did get a nice discount. In return, I agreed to make a video about it. So this week's video will be about the installation.
