Well....I found a BT module for a 2014/2015 on eBay for pretty cheap. Will let this thread know if it worked or not after this weekend when it gets here.

Thanks Beetle for your help....I know you helped me before too!

Update:

My 2015 non-navi touchscreen did directly plug in & work (minus Bluetooth). I purchased a 2014/2015 Bluetooth module & that did not correct the BT functionality. Also, as I am sure some others have experienced.....having the newer radio plugged in, did wreck havoc on the computer and gave me quite a few codes. All in all - did not work correctly.

I guess I am another casualty in the war of touchscreens.

sorry it did not work out and hopefully you could recoup some of your costs.

Yeah it's always a gamble going to the newer stuff when bt and what not is involved. Safer to go aftermarket sometimes.

Yeah.....why make it easy on the consumer, right? LOL

I think I will just keep my eye out for a cheap 2013 one or save up for aftermarket like you suggest.

i am just curious, did you read all the comments / suggestions on here that it wouldn't work and just decided to know "for sure" and still did it or you did not read any of the comments on here?

It's not going to work without significant effort. If you dig around enough you might be able to find the pinouts for both radios, swap some pins around, and possibly re-code some CAN BUS items in the car but, at the end of the day it's just not worth it. I have a 2015 and the radio sucks. Bluetooth does not handle switching between phone and AD2P well, the voice dialing in FUSE is mediocre at best, and the touchscreen isn't great either. I know it's nice to think it's a quick and easy swap with perfect fitment but it's probably not worth the hassle.

Why not getting the 10.2 Android Head Unit?
