Stock headunit questions

Ducati848R · 12-15-2011, 02:39 PM

I need some help on the stock headunit. I have an 06 with hifi system. My bro has an 08 with hifi he is trading in. I want to swap headunits with his as he has the chrome knobs and my pixels are starting to go out. If I swap them, is there any type of security code needed when they lose power? Also he has the stock USB hook up, does my 06 HU have to be coded to work with that in his car?
Thx

If you are in Portland go to these guys to get it sorted out
and for any stereo upgrades.(or near portland)

The cd player interface needs to be enabled for the ipod to work.
The ipod unit is not part of the radio its a seperate unit.
It emulates the cd cassete changer.
I don't believe there is a security code with the head unit.
