Factory replacement questions
hey guys. I know this has prolly been asked a million times but I am moving and have no access to laptop right now so doing this on friends phone. I would like to replace the factory radio in my 2015 Xlt. It’s the small screw (4.5”?). I have manual climate. I would like to keep steering wheel control and backup camera. What is the best option out there for this ? Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

The PAC kit might be the easiest route for you to take.
It's really not that complicated and runs about $300 from Amazon.
There are several good Youtube videos to walk you through the process.
You'll keep your factory AC, back up camera, steering wheel controls, and wiring but lose SYNC, center speaker, and the outside temp display.
You'll also need a new head unit. The kit accepts either single or double DIN.
You're also in a good position to later upgrade speakers and install an amp while you're in there. Just pre run some RCA cables for later to save you the trouble for tearing into it again.
I still have some minor noise issues with my set up but I also did speakers and two amps at the same time.
