If you look on the topics above yours, you'll see where to find that stuff or use the search button. And I'm pretty sure it's impossible to have the steering wheel controls without having some sort of adapter and not sure about the back up camera, but I'm sure you could do some wire switching to get the it to work on an aftermarket system.

Xshinnyshinx,
Thanks for the response and I went through the mod list and alot of the mods list were for 08's and im not sure if they would work on a 12, I know the front end, hood and grille are different between the 08's and the 12's , but when it comes to the back end and head and tail lights i can't find any info on weather they are the same between 2008 and 2012

The only differences in the 2010-2013's are the front (hood, grille, headlights, frontend, etc).

Literally EVERYTHING else on the exterior and in the engine bay / suspension is the same.

Yes it is possible to integrate the factory steering wheel controls. You just need the Axxess steering wheel control module. It's very easy to install.

The backup camera could possibly work if you know how to strip down wires and test the signals. Otherwise I'de recommend buying a new backup camera and integrating that.

Ranga,
ok so I could put any part on the rear from a 4th generation 08'-12Taillights, Spoiler etc.' Now is there a difference between the sadan and the coup when it comes to front. I know you mentioned that from 2010-2013 they changed the front end on the coup. Can i throw a 2010 sedan headlights on my 2012 coup?

AlexN09,
If you don't mind me asking when getting your Custom Enclosure built did they customize you box to the sides or against you fold down back seats?

No, the only similarity between the sedan is some of the interior dash and the engine. I believe all exterior pieces are completely different.

I actually built my own enclosure and there's a thread all about how I did it called, "boom boom." It's molded into the side wheel well of the trunk.

Anybody ever get a definite answer on integrating the stock backup camera into a different head unit? I'm looking at Pioneer Avic and A kenwood unit and would love to save the additional work of running a new backup camera to the system.

I don't own the stock camera but if somebody lived around Nashville I could help them figure out if it would work!
