I have a 2012 leaf with a QY-7201N-C head unit which has failed, I got a replacement from a salvaged 2016 leaf (a qy-8252) but to my dismay half the connectors are different. can this be solved with a few converter cables? the power and vehicle I/F are the same however the GPS DCM I/F and USB are different, plus the newer model seems to need an external BT antenna.

Anyone got any advice?

Thanks
 
I have already bought the 2016 one, I'd prefer to use it as it has more features and also don't really want to spend another £300

Features don't do any good if it isn't compatible with your car/wiring. Just sayin'
