    95-98 mid bracket in 99-01 car

    Hi guys,

    Is it possible to use the mid bracket from a 95-98 car in an 99-01? I am having a hard time finding a mid bracket for a 99-01 car. There are no used ones on eBay or the classifieds.

    Or if anyone has one in your spare parts I would be interested in buying it.

    Thanks

    Tony

    It's the bracket that houses the mid panel that displays the obc information, as well as the single din radio and all the accessory buttons like heated seats,pdc, dsc, etc.

    Have you tried shopping for it in European markets? I say that because in the US market...the 99 model year with a MID was rare...because that's when the small Nav screen became the more popular set-up.

    I have tried several of the European eBay sites.
    There are some places that have the part brand new but it's $400 dollars. I really don't want to pay that. I thought it might be a rare combo but it's good to have confirmation of that, thanks.
