I was in the same predicament, but I found a used stereo on eBay with the exact numbers and it worked no problem but it’s hard to find them matching all numbers. I like a better stereo but it involves a dash kit, wiring kit to save sync, steering wheel controls and the stereo, plus if you don’t know how to install everything it can run over a $1000 depending on the stereo you want. I was going that route since I did want an upgraded stereo and I can install it myself however I don’t have the time and like I said, I found the stock unit on eBay. So depends on your situation. If you go the new upgrade way, check out Crutchfield , you can input your vehicle and it gives you everything you need to install even help if you need it.
