You don't swap the radio with gauges, you junk the factory radio then move the gauges.

The gauges work much better up high- also it's simple to swap the boost and voltmeter gauges. And of course it's a great opportunity to put in a new radio- lots more room for wiring in the bottom slot.

no need to swap boost and voltmeter gauges , a simple rotate will work

It took me an hour to swap the guage kit with my Kenwood HU in my RS... much easier to see up top... no conversion kit needed either with the RS and MR for the swap.
