I installed a Pioneer AVHX3800BHS stereo about a year ago, and my friend helping me was familiar with installing stereos; he told me my steering wheel controls would be disabled and that he didn't think there was a way to connect them. A year later and a quick Google search seems to indicate that I should have done more research earlier.
I'm running into trouble figuring out what i need to make it happen still. Is it a module? Wiring harness? A certified stereo technician?
I'm confident in my ability to plug Af->AmBf->Bm and removing panels, but so many manufacturers, lingo, and wires pointing everywhere is overwhelming me… I'm not good at shopping.
Everything else is connected and works, so not sure if I should buy a full blown wiring kit or if this SWC is something I can get separately.
