Radio/DVD was damaged and i had to replace it with byanother (not original one), and also the control panel(but it was good).

Can I set the new radio/DVD with the old control panel(good) and have all my different functions working?

Hello and welcome to 2CarPros. The answer is, maybe. If the unit you replaced is the same model and style as the original one just from a different Landcruiser it should work. The trick would be if there are items that depend on a specific option set up different in the two radios. That can happen if the factory uses the same radio modules in different vehicles but with different programming or options.
