Long time reader/lurker,
We just got a new to us 2011 OB base model and want to add bluetooth but keep the stock look. Here is my idea: Buy a used premium radio (86201AJ64A OEM PE645U1) i think that this is the one with bluetooth. Find the correct steering wheel controls and wire the whole thing up. First I don't even know if the models have completely different harnesses or other complications that might happen upon during the process.
Has anyone done this before or know if it is even possible? Or possibly have a better idea.
The only other thing that I know of is blue connect. But the only way I am going to add blue connect is if someone has one for free or extremely cheap as we do mostly highway driving and I have heard that the volume isn't that loud.
I think that this could be a fun project but thought I should ask around before buying any components.
Thanks
