[QUOTE="Strategos, post: 28599, member: 11250"] I've got a 2018 Equinox 2.0L AWD Premier trim with the 360 surround vision from that model year but without navigation or the Bose sound system--- was hoping to find a 2019+ Equinox headunit from a wrecked car that would still work and potentially give me the newer, multi-view 360 surround vision along with built-in navigation and the newer MyLink system found starting in the 2019 model year Equinoxes.
