#3) The preset switch panels are not interchangeable. NAV panels can't be used on non-NAV systems and vice versa.
#4) The SRS airbag light can easily be reset. You can focus on that after you get the swap sorted.

Tomorrow AM I will fire up the iPad and check the FSM's

I do hope you are working on the electronics with the battery disconnected?
1) Yes. I do re-use the AC Amp

2) I checked the wiring 2-3 times. Will check again just to make sure. I'm pretty certain that I got the connectors correctly since those that go to the head unit are the one that I had to splice into the car harness and the two connectors that go to the AC Amp are grouped together

3) If the climate control panels are not interchangeable I think that might be the culprit. I hope that's the case since it's an easy fix.

Thanks for your response. I'll find a climate control panel from a NAV G and see.

The switch panels look identical but the electronics are completely different between NAV and non-NAV models. Been there, made that error myself...

Just verify that the assembly is from a NAV model before purchasing.

Let us know how it turns out.

Replaced with the climate control panel with NAV and problem solved. Thank you very much!

By the way, I have an extra set of pigtail connectors so if anyone wants to do this conversion, inbox me.
