Has anybody actually added a steering wheel control interface to a aftermarket radio yet? If so which kit did you use and how was the install? Are there two plugs on the radio...one for speaker wires and power and then one for the steering wheel controls? The reason I ask is the PAC website shows a harness you tap into but it doesn't look like the main radio harness.

 

I have the PAC installed (sorry...had a professional shop do the install). I hooks up to the steering wheel controls and transmits via infra red (like a remote control). With that in mind, the aftermarket stereo you get much support a remote control. (hope that makes sense)

 

Where did you mount the LED that transmits the IR signal?

 

I drilled a hole in my trim plate. Since the led is so small, worked very well. Pic in my gallery. It's at the bottom right corner.

 

Does it work ok there? In the directions it says not to put it there....but it works fine thats where mine is going!!! Also how was the install....pretty straight up once you get the unit in hand?
