Bespoke headunit into FRS with regular radio

Does the bespoke frs head unit plug and play into FRS models without the bespoke unit?

If not, whats needed to convert?

If it fits perfectly, please let me know!!

Thanks!

It's plug and play. I replaced the 2013 basic headunit in mine with a 2014 unit with GPS. The whole process took 30 minutes, which included mating the GPS unit to the BeSpoke unit (I purchased them from two separate sources) and figuring out where I wanted the GPS antenna.

Yep, I just made the same swap in my 2013...removed the non touchscreen HU and replaced it with the touchscreen model from a 2014/2015 (I liked it better than the 2013 touchscreen model). I'm a mechanical idiot and I got it done, with an assist by my son...hardest parts for me were getting the trim panel off, and unplugging the damn connectors from the back of the unit. I did not add the navigation module, as I don't need it, so technically I don't have the Bespoke upgrade...just the touchscreen, which is all I wanted.
