5" with XM to 8.4" radio and bezel upgrade questions. This is a 2020 5th gen Tradesman.
I ordered a salvaged 8.4" complete bezel and brains module. Screen/bezel arrived today but I didn't get the brain they instead sent me a CD player, I will work on that tomorrow and get a refund or the correct module. Is it important to get the brain module that went with this screen or is it ok to source one from another salvage yard?
I just need to know what all will work and what won't, I don't mind moving parts from the new bezel to the old one. I'd rather not have errors or flashing lights like the park assist, I'm going to take that section apart and remove the tow assist control portion and chrome levers off and swap things around.
+The bezel has more A/C controls than I have currently, will these extra features (windshield defog, rear defrost) work?
+Same question on the heated steering wheel and seats section this bezel adds? What is involved with making those work?
+When asking for the brain module what part number do I want to ask for?
I'd like the navigation if it will work with the screen/bezel I have in hand.
Which part number for NAV, which for without?
+Do I need additional wiring harnesses to get things working?
Thanks!
