Hello, my son wants to install a double din stereo in my vehicle, the problem I'm having is I was told if I install this, I will lose navigation and heater controls, is this true? If not do you know the fix?

Hello,

Well, there are plenty of aftermarket options that will allow you to keep the factory controls. Usually, they will require separate modules.
Also, you want to make sure the replacement stereo has navigation, as the factory navigation will not transfer to the new unit.
If there is steering wheel control for your factory stereo, you want to make sure the new part has connectors for all those wires as well.
Usually, the seller of the replacement stereo can tell you if the given model number you selected has all those features.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
