I am routing a rear camera cable and having troubles figuring out how to remove the rear trim panels so I have decided just to fish the cable through but I want to be sure I am not interfering with the airbag system at all.

I've attached some images of older gen models and hoping to find something similar or even more detailed if possible.

Thank you all in advance.

I feel like it offers a little more resolution on the remaining battery than showing miles.

The tire shop that took off my summer tires didn't mark them.

The tires, Ecopia, are not directional so that's not a factor.

There's not that much wear-they have maybe 6500 miles on them.

So, should I put the 'good' ones on the front or the rear?

One column is the multimedia display, the next is multi-info display, and the last is dealer.
There are several dealer only features that may or may not be useful.

I imagine a trip to the dealer would do it-maybe the first one would be free, but if you changed your mind, etc, I bet they would charge for subsequent visits.

Does Carista cover all these dealer only custom features?

Thanks.
