but it says I have to go to the dealership for the install and programming. Is this true? Is it not plug and play? THanks in advance!

Damn, u serious? there's so many threads about this. You could easily do a search for it.

not true for me, but maybe because mine is an 04. they needed to program it and i already had the changer. i did my own swap but it wouldnt read it. maybe 05 and up are different but for 04 with changer you need them to program it
