It will work, but it does not have map lights. All you will have is the rear hatch light.

I have one out of an 08 silverado in my car with the temp,compass and auto dim. I bought a custom harness of ebay. Search for gentex harness. I put the temp sensor near the foglight. Like the others said you lose the maplights. I am going to install courtesy lights under the dash. This was one of the slickest mods I've done.

I thought about doing this but now I'm thinking this is money better spent elsewhere.
