Basically anything vehicle specific that is controlled or adjusted through the radio. For example, in my touring if I were to swap out the radio I'd lose the ability to adjust honda sensing features, calibrate tpms just to name a few things. You won't lose your backup camera, your steering wheel controls or the USB port. It just requires a few more parts. They should be able to help you with what parts you need @ best buy. Just FYI steering wheel controls requires an additional labor charge of 60~ which isn't covered in the free radio install.

Getting an aftermarket is more beneficial especially since you'd be spending less for more (wireless apple carplay/android auto). Then, you could just spend the extra money on the wireless charging accessory for our cars and never have to plug your phone in again ;)
Wow, Best Buy has the Sony 7" screen for $350, and it lists $60 of parts needed. Not sure the steering wheel controls are an additional $60 but that's ok if so. Was quoted like $900 by a local audio shop.

Thanks!

Don't get the Sony:confused:, and if you must get the Sony get the geek squad protection those things crap out all the time! You're better off with the JVC 750(https://www.bestbuy.com/site/jvc-6-...-media-receiver-black/6318988.p?skuId=6318988) or the Pioneer 1550 (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pionee...dvd-dm-receiver-black/6328680.p?skuId=6328680) at that price point. The steering wheel control products are usually 69.99 and the labor is around 60.

Thanks, I'm not locked into the Sony or anything, just like a bigger (6.8-7) screen and don't need a disk player, don't plan to replace speakers or anything either. The JVC you linked looks good, thanks!
