Switch nav unit from 08 to new 2012, possible?



Was considering pulling the factory navigation in my 08 out and swaping it with the standard radio in the new 2012. I have a couple questions:

1) Will everyting work?

2) 08 currently does not have bluetooth(has button but says not equipped) 12 has connectivity group...will bluetooth work with swap?

3) Will the steering wheel buttons work after swap?

4) Can I also swap the antenea and and small black compass box into 2012?

appriciate any help.................

I saw a thread on this before, so take my response for what it is. It can be done, and the steering wheel controls can work, but you need another harness.

Key is to make sure you get all the hardware and harnesses for your antennas to get them to work.

as far as the bluetooth, thats the only part i have not read about yet.

if you do a search, you will find it. wasnt that long ago that i read the thread

I've done this swap, you'll need your nav antenna, steering wheel controls will work also. Still working on bluetooth, I have it 2x and its interfering with my set up. Pm me if needed
