cgjamj Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 I have an NEX 5000 and since a couple firmware updates ago (can't remember which one), part of the screen is unresponsive intermittently and requires repeat touches to acknowledge. Therefore, I'm considering buying a used 8200 and I'm wondering if this will be a pretty simple swap? It looks like most things have the same exact connection, GPS antenna, remote, etc. But I'm mainly curious if they're using the same harness where I could just simply wire the speaker connections and plug the 8200 in with the existing harness. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DCN Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Everything is the same, but the 8200 wire harness has the remote control wire added. If you're upgrading from a 5000 everything will work the same except the hand held remote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cgjamj Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Thanks a lot. That's good to know. I don't believe the 8200 I bought comes with anything other than the wiring harness which I won't even need since I'll use the existing harness...so I don't think the remote wiring would even be an issue. If he does send it, I'll consider using the 8200 harness and rewiring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asd255 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 they are completely the same!!! everything will work as before you do not need to change the wiring Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cgjamj Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Yep! I swapped it out and it was literally plugging everything thing in and all was good. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
