i have 2015, same as your old 2013 but with phone unit(telematics)in the glove box. It also has rain sensing wipers. Point being, there is no need for ANY buttons on the wiper stalk with that equipment. All head unit functions are handled by stearing wheels controles ,on mine at least.

I'm not familiar enough with the model years to say how yours should work but with that head unit. Should be the same? Stearing wheel controles should operate the computer still i would think?

Unfortunately not.... The steering wheel controls work through the standard stereo

Duggs - as per PM, options:

1) replace aftermarket with NCDC201x (may have some difficult coding issues, but resolvable)

2) replace display with MID - think wiring all in place, but not 100% certain - a bit of a suck-it-and-see is easiest way to tell

3) leave as-is, with display being uncontrollable.

Pretty sure you can swap the GID for a MID and the display will work (MID and GID wiring virtually the same apart from CAN implementation and a couple of other lines from what I can tell).

Two issues that need looking at first though are:-

1) Is the wiring for the earlier stalk present under the column shouds?
2) Are the speakers original BOSE units (ie 2 Ohm stamped on the back of them)

If answer is NO to 1) then that'll be a problem to go to MID  etc
If answer is YES to 2) then they'll all need changing to go to standard HU / MID etc - I'll buy them off you!

From memory, the stalk wires are not present.

I did the swap the other way arround e.g MID to GID to CID. There are only a couple of wires that need swapping on the 32 way connector to convert back to MID spec. Then it'll be a case of pulling the stalk connector from a scrapper

I'd also be interested in the speakers if they're genuine Bose but it looks like I'm 2nd in the queue

When I plonked the 1998 CD stalk into the 2000 Elite, it  looked like all the wires on the connectors were present..it got the intermittant wipe working anyway.

Once I get the brakes and cambelt sorted  AND  the breather system which, at 75k doesn;t appear to have ever been done, I think I'll take up the recent offer of a MID unit from Jamie to see if it works.

Thank you all guys very much for your input.
