Great job

[@RoamRideTinker]

Thank you! It was a fun upgrade (and fun to make the video)!

[@kable360]

Did you ever find an adapter that you could connect this head unit to that grey factory mico-USB plug? I know that it goes to the Media USB hub in the center console?

[@RoamRideTinker]

I never did manage to get that working. Did you happen to find a solution?

[@jimmievetor5008]

Why did you you play that terrible music during the install. I had to mute the sound and finally went else where.

[@RoamRideTinker]

Thanks for watching and for your feedback! Sorry the music wasn't to your taste-I'll keep that in mind for future videos. I hope you found the information helpful despite the background tunes. If you have any other questions about the install, feel free to ask!

What did you end up doing with your stock head unit?

[@RoamRideTinker]

Stowed away in the garage in case this unit gives me any trouble but none so far!

[@karsonpeat6287]

Awesome to hear, love the video!

Did you have to get canbus decoder? Can you control HVAC using this screen?

[@RoamRideTinker]

I didn't but did look into it. No control of HVAC on the unit and the big drawback for me was the loss of the reverse camera.
