Hello all,

Before I go any further, I apologize for asking this. I have looked for the last three days and I can't find a definitive answer when searching the forums. I'm sure the answer is somewhere there but I can't find it. Secondly, I know aftermarket is the way to go and if I was going to do that then I would go with Kenwood Excelon. However, with the job market being as precarious as it is right now, I just don't have the $$$ to spend on a top end stereo.

That being said, I can get my hand on a relatively cheap 2015 JBL Toyota Sequoia stereo off of an acquaintance that I would love to replace my 2008 head unit with.

Before I go this route does anyone know if this is possible and if I will be able to retain all settings (steering wheel controls and res). I suspect I will be able to, but I just want to be sure.

Lastly, our of curiosity, for those of you who have stuck with OEM. What is the newest OEM head unit that you have put into your Gen 2?

Thanks for reading and considering.
