This week some idiot pull in front of me and wrote off my beloved 2008 fd. I'm thinking about getting a 2013 model. I really like android Auto and the 2015 and 2016 models have it. Does anyone know if you can transplant the head unit from an15/16 to a 13

I reckon you can, but you've got to source one first (cheaply..)

P.S. Sorry to hear about your FD!

Sad fate. Death penalty for doing that to an FD!

Good luck with the search.

Wondering this aswell, I already have the 'large screen' head unit with sat nav (2012 elite model). Did they give these a chip upgrade over the years? (whilst appearing identical on the outside)

If only it were that simple. Could even be a different manufacturer. Not sure which buttons you press to get info about the head unit on that version, but that would be a good start.

Then we need someone with a 2016 model to do the same thing and compare.

No Android Auto on Nav units.

I managed to source a radio from the wreckers. Took everything apart and they don't quite match. I plugged it in and it works except reverse camera and aerial. I should've taken a few more photos but there was what looked like an aerial still plugged in which I could work out how to remove and another iso plug which didn't have space to by plugged in. I took a photo of the top of my original unit. Unfortunately does tnot have a wiring diagram in it like the gd-03 I sourced. The one in the vehicle is a LAN1060ehgd
