Hi Shrubba,

Thanks for the quick feedback. I should probably start a new thread.

The links were only to show other similar pics of the radios. I wish there was a way of uploading an image directly to the forums vs hosting images on another website.

Anyway, yes I wanted to upgrade the center stack steering wheel controls and airbag to the blacked out look. I don't fee like I spent a whole lot of money since these were out of a salvaged vehicle.

While the new radio has a very similar plug layout it doesn't have the digital audio that my old radio had and along with that probably the input for the MIC. I thought my old radio might have had a digital optical input for H/K equipped radios.

I wonder if any of those 2011 models came equipped with any digital audio inputs on the back? So I can plug and chug. The research continues.

 

Did you get the Sat tweaked and working correctly? I just did this conversion for the second time ('09justa w/ '13justa parts and '07S w/ '11S parts) the second project the '07S has a factory enabled Sat. It works but it errors out and disappears when the key is switched on. I'm thinking I might have to match the vin to project car...?

563 has already
653 added high def radio to (match donor car)
655 added sat tuner (match donor car)
693 rem sat prep (match donor car)
6nd added hands free bt (match donor car)

 

Possible, I think the Sat unit in 8/2010+ was built into the head unit as it just needed to be flashed by a dealer with the activation code.

 

Yes it's integrated as well as blue tooth and USB. The unit I installed was activated like his, but errors out when the ignition is turned on so I was wondering if he'd re-flashed to enable or it just worked.

 

Yea, that's weird, something in the wiring does not line up?

 

How did you change the dials to black? Is it possible to get a black unit and take off the covers and switch covers rather than swap over, which i hear is not possible. due to wiring changes.
