Stock Radio Climate Control Swap

Postby TheYuPath » Sun Sep 28, 2008 8:31 pm

I have a 2007 SE Path without climate control/gps and just bought a 07-08 center console with the climate control/gps/monitor off of ebay used. Thinking it shouldn't be a problem to retro fit, and I could look into it later. So now that it's in the mail, gots me thinking.
Is it a direct change over?
Am I missing anything?(Do I have to buy a new ecu or have to tap the ecu for the climate control?)
Any knowable knowledge? Any help would be thankful.

I think I found what you bought. That is a 2008 unit, which is completely different that the '07. It also does not look like a gps equipped unit. You're probably not going to have any of the wiring harnesses for this unit and you have a CAN bus to contend with as well. Take a look at the difference in the wiring between the 07 and 08 in the factory service manuals.
