Keep your LCD with double din....

I stumbled upon this on ebay:

Has anyone tried this yet? I searched with no success.

I remember one member (don't remember which one, but its one of the "replaced my radio" threads) who was successful with keeping the LCD functional. He unplugged the stock radio when it was on, he said as soon as you unplug your battery again, it will go away though.

Yes you can keep it. Since '06 the LCD wiring has been separate from the main HU harness. Once it's hooked back in you'll get your ambient temp. display and your ACC display back. If you plug in the OEM HU you'll be able to set/select one thing to display on the left side (i.e. clock, or one of the DIS options) but you won't be able to change them after unplugging the OEM HU.

Some aftermarket dash kits have brackets to attach the LCD to... some of them you have to fabricate something to hold it in place. Either way your installer is wrong.

here's mine:

display still works on the right side to tell ac stuff, mine was the 08 sport model, pretty much the only model where you can't setup the trip computer on the left side.

my lcd works..i have it displaying the current average mpg and the climate bs..u have to plug in the stock headunit and pick which display u want..then leave the lcd plugged in and install ur radio..i have mine jsut sitting on top of my radio and it doesnt move at all and i can see everything fine(five-0)
