Hi all,

im looking to upgrade my head unit. I currently have the 8.4, and its got the heated seat and steering wheel options on the screen. is there any way I can get that on an aftermarket head unit? Im getting rid of the physical buttons, so I would still like to use those functions through the screen.
thanks!

Yes. You have a couple of options

1. Idatalink maestro rr and ch3 harness with a idatalink capable head unit (idatalink.com). All functions are controlled through the head unit

2. Metra makes a dash bezel that has a separate screen that controls all the functions that are accessed through the radio. So any radio will work.

3. Pac makes a similar product as Metra but has more expandability ( extra cameras and programmable buttons)

Upgrade to get what? Carplay? Navigation?
