Re: 2008 Head unit in an 06?

You know, the center stack used on the '06 Japanese Escape, looks mighty similar to the '08 USA one. I wonder if it might be a source of parts?

In a perfect world, I would love to add in the auto climate control features.

However I bet I am dreaming there...

We need a 2008 owner with the hybrid/nav radio to pull the unit out and take pictures of the connections/wiring. That should get us closer to answering whether it can be swapped in to the earlier models.

Ok sounds like another job for me. I took pics of the speakers in the front, so I might as well do this. I will try to take it out tomorrow and will post pics. BTW how do you post pics here right in the msg rather than everyone having to click on a link?

I always post my own pics over in the "share" section, then post a reference here in the "discuss" section.

If you look in the "share" section, you will see that there are already several pics of the '07 Nav system.
