Has anybody ever try to upgrade their head unit to the better factory one? I've got a 2018 ex, with the basic infotainment system installed, and was wondering if purchasing a used upgraded one would be a simple plug and play swap. Mostly wanting to make sure I'll still get functionality from the apple car play/Android auto, and it will still work well with the steering wheel controls.

 

According to this thread, there's a tie-in between head unit & VIN #:

Theoretically, if you enter the correct VIN at the proper point, that would unlock the head unit.

So I'm wondering: Does the seller include a VIN with the sale?

 

I have the LX system as well. I’d like the oem upgrade if possible too. If not I’m going aftermarket double din.

 

The unit pictured in that listing is not an android auto/carplay unit. The android auto/ carplay units have a volume knob and no cd player.

 

what's a CD player? 😆
