A nice looking option. Have you posted a DIY on the swap?

By the way, I have those same compartment inserts, but with the white accent line that glows in the dark.

On the subject of USB flash drives, I was using a tiny 32mb Sandisk drive in my '16 1LT. Occasionally the drive was not recognized at startup in the '16, and I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work. After reading this thread I figured I'd try a different USB drive for my '21 3LT. Only a couple days in, but so far this one has been working for me:

Both my old and new Sandisk drives were FAT32 formatted, by the way.

The nice surprise that came out of setting up a new flash drive is that I discovered my '21 does not have the 5,000 mp3 file limit that the '16 1LT did. I'll have to update my playlists!
