Next on the list was the Charge cord relocation. This was a must have after doing it on my 15, not a fan of cords dangling around.
Used a magnetic charge cord this time. The male end of the connector stays inside the port of the phone. Just tap it close to the cord and it whips into place by means of the magnets. They are surprisingly strong. Very pleased with its performance while connected to Apple Carplay as well. Cord sits snugly in its new home. V
Where did you source that cable, and do you have any better pictures showing the install?
In the months of owning this truck I haven't done nearly as much as I originally wanted. I can say that I love this truck, although Ive already had some ups and downs with the 2018. First week I owned the truck someone in an unknown parking lot decided to hit my passenger front window with (lord knows what), and chipped it. Although its very small, its noticeable when the window is clean. Dealership quoted the fix at roughly $900. That will have to wait.
Getting other issues fixed first are in my sights. She's booked in to the dealership tomorrow morning to go over some issues. The dash around the cluster was not installed correctly from the factory, causing it not to sit flush to the cluster and sit high on the left side. The Panoramic roof has rattled very badly since week 1. That harsh sound when letting off the gas is very annoying, I believe its the TSB 18-2354. The CEL has come on. The occasional harsh downshift, and the truck has completely stalled at a stop sign before. Looking into all of that, plus 1 recall.
If I can get the rattling pano roof fixed, the dash set correctly + the TSB mentioned above, Ill be happy.
In the meantime, I recently added a shorty antenna I bought off amazon. Did not come with the proper adapter so I re-tapped it and used a stainless bolt that matches the threads from the truck. Looks very good IMO (even though CF is not really my thing) and mates up to the truck perfectly . Other mods will likely be coming in the springtime once all the snow and salt is gone.

Thanks for the link. To be honest, I'm debating getting the chip filled instead of replacing the glass. Windows are tinted as well adding one more thing to the mix.
Made a rear seat release today. Aside from the loop ($1.50), I had all items to make it. Dont know why I didn't do this before, very happy with the extra storage space.
Started by removing the latch & drilling a hole to allow the cable to pass through.
Used some cable heat shrink to cover the cut ends.
Covered the cable that goes around the loop with heat shrink as well. Wanted to make sure there wont be any rattling or scratching noise from minor movements (although likely will not happen).
Final Product. All crimped down, and heat shrinked up. Works like a charm.
