2012 Sonic LT Radio (Stock for Stock Swap)

[Jlabossi]

Hey everyone!

I just got a new (to me) 2012 Sonic LT sedan with the base radio and front door speakers.

I was wondering if it's possible to just swap in the stock higher end radio with USB support and OEM cable in place of the base model radio?

I'm not looking for MyLink or any of that craziness, just to do a small upgrade that might simplify playing music and enable me to ditch an FM transmitter.

Thanks!

I found this on eBay description, "This radio is being sold as a REPLACEMENT ONLY! The part number is 95179057. If you do not have this exact part number currently in your vehicle, it will likely NOT WORK. If you are unsure of your part number, contact us with your VIN and we should be able to provide you with the correct part number. They may look the same and have the same plugs but data streams may be different, not allowing them to code. For example, external amps are used in some cars and will not allow interchange, etc."

So if you contact the seller he might be able to get you the info you need. I haven't bought from this seller so this is not a recommendation to buy from them.

Here is the seller's page as well.
