Aftermarket head unit w/ stearing wheel controls

[Freebeer187]

Is there an afertmarket head unit or way to get an after market head unit to still work with the steering wheel controls?

Im considering purchasing a head unit for iPod support. I do like the steering wheel controls though, and also my current stereo is in perfect working order. I also have the bose package stereo. Will I need something special for it when I switch head units?

Thanks man. I found through more google searching this:

According to this post, this will work. They look the same to me.

I wonder if its a bitch to install

I forget which one it was, but there was a PAC unit that I used in my GP and Regal that plugged into the harness, and used an IR sensor that was mounted to act as the remote when I used my steering wheel controls.

I hear the SWIX is glitchy, go with either the SWIPS for pioneer alpine, or the SWIJACK for Kenwood, jvc and clarion. Haven't had a problem with either.

ZZP carries a unit for it, best buy might have it depending on what head unit you have.

Best buy doesn't have the correct harness, already went that route and I had to order the correct one for them because all my dash controls shut off while I was driving.

FWIW - I've had a PAC SW1X in my GTP since 2000 and it still works flawlessly with my Pioneer HU. Never a problem or loss of programming.

I have the pac-swi ps in my vic and it works perfectly. way less of a headache to install than the swi-x
