2015 has interchangeable background themes album art and a tag button to purchase songs which I don't believe you can do without a subscription ...might be other differences but those are the main ones.

OK guys n gals. Got some questions here. Got the 7 speed harness from cuylertech.
I see the square harness plugs into the control panel. I figure the male n female white ends are a T harness of sorts for the HVAC controls. What is the small rectangle plug to? Does the wire that clips into that come with the HVAC control module I gotta buy(not the dash bezel, the little brain box)
Anyone who's done this mod kinda help me out here. My truck has the I connect 5.0/7 speed fan.

I believe the piece you are missing is the module and yes this harness plugs into it to complete the install.

You will need the HVAC module to plug the other end of the white T to. There is no plug that goes into the second plug on the back of the bezel, thats just there for manufacturing.

Hvac module is ordered. Part number 68183973AB, correct?
So the circled plug isn't used?

The circled plug is not used. Just used to make the bezels.

10-4 thanks. So all I gotta do now is plug the module into the white plug and hook up my radio? Where does the other end of the white plug go? Not the end into the module- the other one? The stock HVAC plug?

So, the way this works is one end plugs into the truck side plug, the next to the HVAC module and the last to the bezel. They only plug in one way so once you are looking at it, you'll get it.

Also if I find the radio and bezel at a "junk" yard could that module be with those vehicles or is it something completely separate? I know we need the wiring harness either way so I ordered that yesterday.
I want to do the steering wheel with audio controls
Instrument Cluster and
8.4 RA4 for my first round of mods.
Then it's center console and leather.
