The thought of doing that makes me cringe. Glad it worked out for you though.

+1
But at least it will be easy to reconnect the wires.

This will not work if you have the 4.2" screen. Wrong connectors / wiring harness. Which is exactly why I started this thread to figure out the wiring on 2013's with the screen and new harness.

I am basically planning on doing the same thing, but a little more complicated with the correct harness not being available.

If your wiring diagram is correct I am ONE pin short!! Yes I know what you mean. Just wait , once we get this figured out someone will come out with the correct harness....

I don't think anyone has successfully done this as of yet. I am still waiting on harnesses to show up in the mail.

Okay thanks for the correction.

I know what I'm doing this weekend.

Have enough to complete 2 harnesses, 1 for me and 1 for whomever. 1 of those packs will serve as the donor for the other 3 for a total of 5 harnesses once the other 3 male connectors arrive.
