Is this the correct one for our cars?

I looked it up on Metra's website and this is the one that lists for our car.

I thought about PM'ing Pops but wasn't sure if he was back on or not since after his heart issues and hospital stay.

The Axxess - ASWC should work. Looks like its a universal type.

Scosche has some for specific headunits. http://www.scosche.com/car-audio/steering-wheel-controls

I use the PAC Audio SWI-PS to control my Pioneer AVIC-X940BT. http://www.pac-audio.com/productDetails.aspx?ProductId= 210&CategoryID=29

I'm looking at getting the X940BT so I'll just go with the PAC Audio SWI-PS piece then.

Amazon is a PIA as they often don't have the correct info for parts etc..

From Metra's website looks like only one part# for the ASWC and they say it fits a Marauder. Looks easier than the SWI-PAC I used for my car.

Just installed the X940BT. You'll love it. Especially the micro SD card feature.

Did you get the $100.00 rebate? Mine just arrived yesterday.

The ASWC from post #1 works. It automatically detects the Marauder.

I bought this from Amazon and installed it together with an F940BT in my SB and it works flawless. Im happy with it. :)

I bought mine from Amazon.com, not sure if they will allow the rebate, I'll have to look into it.

Already ordered the PAC one, if it gives me problems I'll get the ASWC one.

Do you have a Pioneer or Sony HU?

That sucks.

If mine doesn't work it's no big deal. I haven't touched my Audiophile HU since I installed my amp and the MTX reQ5 since it has a 3.5 jack with a volume knob on it, plug my phone into it and turn on Pandora and roll.

Well, thanks to you I may have a solution.
I'm going to try that Metra unit you posted up top!

Pioneer - AVIC-F700BT

Same. LOVE it!

Plus my back up cam hasn't worked in awhile... And Bluetooth sucks for the listener. Maybe my deck is in need of an update?

Birdman,
I just had my Avic 940 along with the steering wheel control installed yesterday. (Well, I did all the wiring except for the SWC and the speed, reverse wire.)
Everything works GREAT! You will love it! The hardest part was stuffing all the wires and radio back in the dash.I had to cut off all the unused RCA jacks just to get it done.
Oh, by the way, the stereo doesn't come with an owner's manual. It's a disc with instructions. Why? It's 240 pages long!

Steering wheel control came today, now just waiting for the HU.
