To answer your question I AFAIK and from my experience some of the features will have to be re-enabled by FSC code from the dealer, as I think these are tied to VIN number. I had my head unit replaced twice under warranty, and they had to reflash the car so everything was at the same I-step and then add the navigation FSC codes. Also if you use the Sirius the new radio ID will have to be swapped to your account. The head unit is a rather simple physical swap. My recommendation would be to swap the head units, take to a dealer for reflash the car and bring the old head unit to try and get the new FSC code as a swap for the old dead unit.
Yep, the new radio will have to be coded to the car. IF you get the coding wrong, the dealer won't be able to update the car's software in the future.

You can have your dealer do the coding or an expert car coder perform the coding.
