Can you upgrade stereo on 2013 G23 with Bluetooth?

[JOPETE1]

I'm considering buying a 2013 G23, but just learned that it doesn't have Bluetooth?!?! Pretty surprising, but wanted to see if anyone has successfully upgraded the stereo/head unit with a 2014 or 2015 head unit to get Bluetooth functionality. Also, if so, can you confirm that you can control the music (ie. skip songs) from the Linc screen? Thanks.

Couple more questions... if you upgraded the head unit roughly how expensive was it? Is it something you did yourself or do you need the dealer to do it?

I'm using a Roswell Cybox. https://roswellmarine.com/cyboxfeature.php

Doesn't look like it would interface with the Linc screen to control the music remotely (from the dash or transom remote). Does it?

No, the roswell or any other universal BT that uses the head-unit's AUX input is not going to offer control through the linc. The trick would be if the 2013 linc used the same protocol as the 14/15. If not, then switching to the 14/15 head-unit that has integrated BT, would then not communicate with the linc.

Do some searching on here. I saw a thread indicating that if you switched out the head unit to a newer version the controls would still work and you gain extra functionality. Might need your dealer to update the LINC
