The newer models have a different system that will not work in the older models.
Some chaps have put in a Panasonic or similar and kept part of the old system as it needs to have the "brains" which is part of the connectivity to the other systems in the vehicle to enable them to function correctly.

It gives a really good insight to what has to be done.


Sorry Matt, I don't think we have a writeup like this here and it is a pretty good one too.
