Best place to buy factory non bose stereo for 2011 with out braking bank? Non bose with steering wheel controls, phone and xm/sat.
Has aftermarket Kenwood now with out the steering wheel hooked up and would like to just put a stocker back in.
Thanks in advance

Other than steering wheel controls, is there any other reason you want to switch back to stock? Aftermarket headunits normally offer far superior output and come with more options. You can get an adapter to regain your steering wheel controls. Would probably be a cheaper option than buying a new radio.

I have one out of my 08 you can have if it will fit and you pay shipping.

Just keep in mind that if you buy a second hand stock radio, it will have to be programmed for the VIN on your truck for it to work. There is theft prevention built into these radios. The programming is not readily available other that from a dealer. A few select shops might have the equipment to do it and some outfits online will do it, but it will generally cost about $100 plus.

:lol: I just can't help but laugh when I read this. I just can't imagine anyone wanting to steal the factory radio.

yes he is correct. But it only cost me $15 at my dealer.

Forgot to mention that the truck has parking senors and whom ever installed the Kenwood didn't hook all the stuff up to make any of the chimes work (door, low fuel,blinkers ect). I need to pull the unit and see just what they did. Hoping nothing is hacked. Would be just as easy to throw a stock unit back in until I decide what direction I want to go and be able to use all the factory goodies in the mean time.
