That's the unit I have and I like it.


2 - Will I get the SOS warning in the dash?

Yes. Either live with it or code it out.

3 - Will I get any other malfunctions?

No.

4 - Will I retain all OEM functions in steering wheel, etc?

Yes -- although for some odd reason, I can answer my phone from the steering wheel -- but not hang up.

5 - What happens to the Park Assist button at the bottom of my current stack? I think the new set-up uses the entire space?

You'll lose this functionality unless you move it to the ashtray. I lost my 'downhill assist' button.

6 - I’m assuming sound quality will be at least as good as OEM?

My sound quality is fine. I'd say volume is not quite as loud as OEM.

7 - Anything else I’m missing?

I'd wait on the Apple dongle. Once you have Android running -- will you really want to use CarPlay? I like running Google Maps 'native'. Music streams from the phone as expected. In any case adding the dongle later is trivial.
