Frankenstein 2017+ GS Head Unit into a 2013 GSh
#166
Hmm, I want to say one thing at a time, but *if* I was going to tear all that out, it would be silly not to try to get some AA action.
All that said, lets pretend for a second I am a complete and total idiot. I have a '15 GS350, I get a 16+ screen and radio. Will they come with cords or is that luck of the draw. Then pretty much plug in everything I can, or I'm plugging in pretty much the exact same things I unplugged from old stuff?

Yes.
The 2016 will have an extra Brown video output, but that doesn't plug into anything, everything else is exactly the same. The 2017+ don't have this brown video output plug. My guess is maybe it went to the 2016 instrument cluster. The only thing that doesn't show up on the 12.3" screen anymore is the animation when you change drive modes, but it shows in the instrument cluster at least on my 2013, might work on your 2015 since the other plugs are the same. I found that annoying anyways now my passengers don't know when I switch

I like the animations, but really in the beginning I only cared to remind me the difference between sport and sport plus. Don't really need reminding anymore, lol
You da man.

When I was looking at head units, the 2017 models I saw had the brown output as well. On my 2016, the brown plug was there on the head unit but there was nothing plugged in. After I swapped a 2016 non-nav for a nav unit, the instrument cluster is properly displaying nav information.

Same!
I went from 2015 to 2016 and lost the animation as well. Not a big deal considering all I had gained. And like you said, you can still see it in the instrument cluster.

Awesome. I have quote requests for the parts from car-parts. Still nervous about pulling these out, but excited thinking about doing this.

You da man.

Asked for quotes from junkyards off car-parts but never heard back. There was a screen for 515 that seemed to good to be true. REALLY want to do this.

I call, make the deal over the phone, pay, and they ship it to me. No need to waste time driving 4 hours. I've actually paid for something they couldn't find, but they refunded me, but also never left my house.

I called and was told it was held for me for pickup. Okay, I drove there to pick it up to find out it was never “found”.

I mean, it is the other end of a large state for me, so DEF not just driving up there without talking to anyone.
