I'm going to say maybe, you will probably have to code it using vagcom or maybe obdeleven will work. I doubt it would just drop in without a bit of work.
I don't see it happening with an alarming amount of vehicle settings accessed from the radio now.I would love to try this conversion but I'm secretly holding out for some company to make a 10" or larger plug and play screen.
This is just sheer curiosity although that is still quality advice for anybody else considering it.I would suggest doing solid research on this before you spend money. The small screen radio has a built in amp and the larger ones for premium sound have an external amp.
That's always preferable but unfortunately it's not always an option for everyone, even if money isn't a concern, as there may only be a limited availability of trims in an area or an urgent need doesn't give time to search for a particular trim. Some people may have to take what they can get then later consider upgrading bits and pieces.Buy one with stuff you're happy with.
Yep, that's fair. Definitely for things like wheels that are easy to upgrade. I just look at a built-in screen and would never think of trying to change it out. Everything is horribly tied together these days via CAN busses etc. and computerized, so what may seem like a simple upgrade is likely to be a nightmare.That's always preferable but unfortunately it's not always an option for everyone, even if money isn't a concern, as there may only be a limited availability of trims in an area or an urgent need doesn't give time to search for a particular trim.

Oh I had no idea, I suppose it's par for the course with Canbus now.There are lots of cars with aftermarket radios that can access all of the functions from the factory radio. Several companies make radios for a wide range of vehicles. I had an upgraded 10" in a Kia Optima that did everything the factory did and more.
