yeah, mine has the climate controls in it, the backup camera, stereo, phone. I dont think you can replicate the climate controls in a non oem unit, but I may be wrong. The "problem" with new cars is once the electronics start to go bad you a f'd.
My unit does the same thing. Plus, there was a chance I would lose steering wheel controls if I went with a non OEM unit. The last quote I got a month ago to replace to the newest OEM factory unit was creeping into the $1200 price point completely installed from a third party car stereo shop but Ford wanted almost $2k to do it when I first looked into it. Just unbelievable.
