The silver color on the fascia..... why couldn’t they color coordinate with the existing gray?

You could always potential recolor, although I'd use a reputable pro paint shop to do it RLD CB Bracket

RLD Sump Protector
ProSpeed Compressor Cover
TPMS Retrofit

This is my PX6 version, but same on PX3 as well, just slightly different interface.
See 1:20 ish for LR screen access via Console
Do you have a link to this particular unit? Be interesting to see if they have a suitably nice D3 one.

All the links that I've put on are D3 units not D4. Others have added videos showing the D4 but I think the displays are almost identical - it's just the fascia that is different.'

Can you ask them if it connects via MOST or do we have to retain/hide the factory stereo?

tgreer - see dgarsides comments on page 1 of this thread.
Audio is routed through the AUX, and the controls piggyback through the original screen connectors, or that's how it looks. The MOST connection is via the original screen cabling, so the new kit doesn't really talk directly to the MOST but actually gets the old screen bits to act as in interface.
When it comes I'll post here what's involved but I believe it's fairly straightforward.'

pics to follow, but so far...
Appearance - absolutely 100% including colour match facia (dark grey/gray)
Installation so far - a few basic plug'n'play connectors and a bit of head scratching but heading in the right direction. Very impressed with speed and response, radio sounds great and plays fully through the HK Logic 7, shame there's no DAB+ but I've already got a solution to that. Nowhere near as simple to use as you might like, certainly while driving, but that might just need me to customise a few settings here and there.
Bad bit so far - having to Dremell out a portion of the dash, something I hate doing
Next - route cables for reverse cam/GPS/4G although half of this job is already done as they were already routed to the GVIF under the passenger seat.
