Cheers

Usually with a bit of rewiring, yes.  You will likely lose steering wheel controls and radio display on dash, though adapters may be available as long as you dont go too gay

Thanks

Not too concerned about steering wheel controls, but will the dash diplay be totally blank or will the temp and clock still show?

Just replaced mine, lost radio display on dash, retained steering wheel controls via adaptor harness and patch lead.

Is it gay?? Well that's subjective, it ticked all the right boxes for me.......gay wasn't one of them btw ;D ;D

Just radio line will be blank.  Remember, the clock will no longer be adjusted via rds

With no radio installed at all you get the date and temp. With new radio date remains when unit is off, date goes off when radio powered up.

Depends on how the MID gets programmed ;)

MID just needs to be told there is no radio (or cut a wire to MID
