You MIGHT, I have seen a few that say yes and a few that say no. I was one that brought the issue up with a 2013 I did. You might not have the issue. Here is a link.

Caution with 2013 models and install

I read that thread. it talks about moving pins around on the metra harness for the rear speakers for the steering wheel controls. What do you do about the headunit power issue though?

Do yourself a favor and just try to install it normally, if than after you install it you can not get it to power on than post back. How you get the unit to power on is you have to move a wire from where it is to the blank that is supplying power. IF you have a problem PLEASE contact metra and report it, I and a few others have contacted them and they have done nothing yet.
