Thanks for the info on the steering wheel controls. If both the Z120BT and the NEX8000 use the same harness (as Crutchfield indicates), does that mean they can just be swapped quickly? Or could there still be the differences that Hurricanfan1 suggested?

Thanks for the info. I checked the harness that Crutchfield includes with the NEX800 for my car, and it is the same one I already have installed with my z120bt (Metra 70-1761). Would that mean that it would simply plug into the existing harness? (Or am I missing something?). What about the steering wheel control - would the wiring I currently have still work with the NEX8000? Thanks again.

I'm considering upgrading from my Z120BT to a 8000NEX. I am a relative newbie at DIY installation, but did manage to install my Z120BT a couple of years ago (it took me a long time and a lot of anxiety!). I have read that the harness is the same for the Z150BT and am assuming it's the same case for the Z120BT. Would installing the 8000NEX simply involve unplugging and pulling out the Z120BT, and plugging in the 8000NEX into the same harness? Would there be any other need to splice into wires, etc.? Would the 8000NEX continue to work with the steering wheel controls? Wou
