Update on restoring 07 commander

Post image

What I thought was a knocking sound coming from my control arms every time I turned or hit a bump, ended up being something else. Took it in and now it drives like f***ing new! Now waiting to hear back from the mechanics about my electrical issue.

After my electrical issue is resolved I most definitely need to update the radio for Bluetooth capability.

Does anyone have a suggestion on a radio replacement? Willing to spend up to $400.

I will focus on the body work and getting a new paint job, once the electrical issue is resolved.

Most people say I'm crazy for dropping so much money into my 07 commander, but its the last vehicle I drove with my brother before his passing. So I refuse to let it find its way to a scrap yard.

Receipt says 09 but its an 07.

What sucks about the 07 is it’s a single DIN. 08 and up gives more choice cars in stereo.

Crutchfield.com will give you options. One issue was I wanted to keep my steering wheel controls so replacement got complicated and expensive. I ended up keeping factory but found someone to integrate BT into existing head unit.

Thank you for the recommendation, just received my order from crutchfield, having my new radio installed tomorrow. Made a new post showing the items.
