i took it out and replaced it with a nicer S5 black dash. There were some little metal boxes back there, i think one was the alarm computer. not sure what else, but I took out what ever I didnt need to run the motor.

ya, its pretty much a complete interior. I still have a couple little plastic peices to track down, but here's a pic...

i know I need to get some better seat covers.. They used to be black, but some how, the AZ sun has turned them red.
