$400 + Actual Shipping.

I'm selling my OEM 17" Touring wheels for my 200. No curb rash nothing....I really don't want to post them on eBay...but I will if I have to. They are in perfect condition...see the pics in the classified section. They are boxed in the aftermarket wheel boxes with protection.

I hope this is clear:
1. my 200 touring has a 130 radio....no u connect feature
2. I can purchase a 230 uconnect 6 disc radio at a great price
3. It is JUST the radio....
4. What exactly do i need to purchase to make it work in my 2012 touring.
5. In particular, what harness and how much does it cost before i buy this radio and install it.
6. I see harness tht are under 80, and kits that are at 300.......
