Also, with the 05-07 boards, you also need to desolder and resolder the LED for the dual button if you want it to work. The LED is already on the board for 03-04.
These DIY's need to be stickied.

Just to clear everything up, the only reason that you would have to do this MOD is because when you change out the HU the AC control is tired into the factory HU so you cant take it out and put it on the new kit. So there for you need to buy a new AC control. Metra makes everything built in but it only for 03-04 HU's and still doesnt come with the DUAL BOTTON. The aftermarket AC control from Metra and JDM dont come with the DUAL BOTTON so if you want that function you would have to take the DUAL BOTTON off the factory HU and put it on the aftermarket one as what Gilley is showing you in this DYI
this is a great write up... but im curious as to the LED on the old board? will this too transfer to the new board? I see a resistor and a led pad unpopulated? anyonyone know what transfers ot the resistor value of the missing location on the JDM board>???

Thanks for this great DIY, just had a quick question. I don't have a soldering iron & was thinking of buying this one to do this project, will this work?

Thanks for the writeup, I agree, that was definitely way overdue.
I'll be doing the same thing on an 03-04 board so it seems like I should definitely do a DIY on that as well... just in case there are some minor differences.
