So I know we have got radio controls to work, but has anyone actually got the HVAC to work with it? If we can have both, then I am going to go for the swap too
Sorry I'm late to the game here but to get this correct - any pre '05 Navigator or Expedition steering wheel is a direct bolt on for the Excursion?
If there are stereo steering wheel controls, will they work if it wasn't originally an option on your Ex.
No, '98-'02 Navigator. Navi was redesigned in 2003. Somewhere I heard that the '98-'00 Navigator wheels were wired differently than the '01-'02, but I haven't confirmed that. It was recommended that I get an '01-'02 for my '02+ Ex, so I did, even though I had to modify. My '02 Blackwood wheel in my '05 was a direct swap too.
Yes, if you have steering wheel controls, it should all be plug and play.
