Default radio upgrade c33 to c43

I wonder if I can just swap units and the RDS and all functions will work, I got a second 318 (i) with the better radio and I want that one on my Ti.....


I would appreciate your help guys......

I am pretty sure this swap is just plug and play. John

well they are not.... the Phillips radio won't even power up....

the 4 door sedan has 2 different antennas on the back glass am/fm and RDS and a module on the C pillar to control defroster and antennas, now c43 is up for grabs

I did this exact swap, plug and play, no issues. Been running it for the last two years, RDS works nicely.
