6.5 Swap assistance / Airbag help

So my search is not working for some odd reason so let me get to the point.
Im getting a good deal and some 2007 parts for my 2006.

is there any issues with connecting the wire harness and bolting up the 2007 seats into my 2006 ?

Can the 2007 stereo swap into the 2006 ?
-meaning the entire head unit+the vents on the sides of the head unit and the console down by the shifter with the arm rest.

and last question is....one seat on the 2007 has the side air bag deployed. whats the better option
1.remove the cloth from my current seat and install the leather
2.Replace the side airbag in the seat / swap airbag from my cloth to the leather ?
3. Suggestion ??


any links to the HOW-TO's to removing the seats and the stereo would be great.

Thanks AGain, and yes i tried the search in this forum on the upper right and i keep getting " no matching entries found"

thanks again.

I've seen a few threads on here on swapping the 07 radio headunit and a/c controls into a 2006 but remember its not a direct swap, some modification's involved.

as far as the blow seat airbag goes, just swap it out with your original good airbag and have the leather stitched back up. Should be almost as good as new.

Seat Harness' will be differnent, Its not a plug and play, splicing will be requried and still then its not guaranteed to work

Again, Not plug and Play, the entire dash is differnent in the middle from 06-07, the radio is not worth it, get aftermarket save your cash

and last question is....one seat on the 2007 has the side air bag deployed. whats the better option
1.remove the cloth from my current seat and install the leather
2.Replace the side airbag in the seat / swap airbag from my cloth to the leather ?

Keep seats as is cloth or easier option, get the back seats (leather), then go to an upholester to do your front seats, shouldnt be to much. The Airbags are a bit tricky unless you have a qualified tech/person not worth the hassle


any links to the HOW-TO's to removing the seats and the stereo would be great.

GOOD LUCK ON WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO. None of this stuff is impossible, its just not worth it. If you are doing a swap go witht the 07-08 front facia conversion. But that not cheap either.
