Hi
I'll shortly be the owner of a 2014 W639 Vito and I'll be wanting to upgrade the standard head unit to include nav. Pretty sure it's the older audio 20 head unit I'm starting out with - see first image). I've searched the forums and struggling to get a full grip of issues, so have a few questions. If anyone can answer I'd be most grateful.
I'd like to keep it genuine and my steering controls working. So I'm considering something like the second image. Can someone confirm my understanding please?
The new unit will work with steering controls but may need a special loom.
I should be looking for an item with a code and anyone offering plug and play without one has butchered it.
Will there be a need to code the newer unit?
If I go for a newer aftermarket unit, can I still get steering controls working?
Thanks in advance for any reply
