Mylink trim W/O screen and head unit? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey everybody,

Been dormant a while but happy to be back lurking thinking about the next projects.

I am thinking about adding a touch screen double din to my 2010, but I don't really like the look of the aftermarket kits. I like the look of the trim on the mylink and the heater controls, but I don't want the mylink screen and factory options/limitations etc.

So my question is does anyone know if I can just buy the mylink trim with the heater controls etc. without the head unit and screen attached?

It's a 2010 so I don't have HUD, I'm not worried about losing that functionality. I want to purchase my own aftermaket head unit and integrate it to the mylink trim. I just don't know where or if I can purchase the trim.

I'm sure you good people have an idea!

I have seen some of the pieces for sale on this forum. I have been wondering when someone was going to do this. I was thinking about trying it myself but I will more than likely trade the car for a truck in a few days.

You can't buy the MyLink HVAC controls without the Screen. It comes as one unit. The headunit is separate.

I would imagine that a very clever installer could remove the MyLink screen from the rest of the frame and find a way to do what you want to do but I don't think it will be easy.

Ya it wouldn't work, the controls on the dash kit are all built into the screen and the brain has no screen.

How much the the screen plus controls run? It fits pre 2013 models well?

I just sold the Mylink from my 2014 2ss for 850, programming will cost 200-300 because it won't work if it's not reprogrammed with your vin..

Wiring harness will run 200-300 as well.

so... 1250-1500 to add mylink.

Interesting.

I may just wait until prices come down, or figure something else out.

Thanks everyone
