Looks like I4, based off the door handles. Maybe he swapped 'em

Just a small update, I've installed a new double-din head unit and the Sound stream S-81 unit. The new head unit is a Pioneer AVH-4700BS which allows you to run an active setup. I hope to finish my false floor and running new wires sometime in the next month.
