I see that there are like 3 options for steering wheel interface modules for aftermarket radios. Are they basically all the same? Do some have more features then others? Im trying to decide which one to get and any input would be awesome.

 

The difference is in the feature set. The Maestro Datalink looks to be the nicest if you've got a compatible headunit.

 

I'm going to be using a Joying android headunit so that datalink is a no go.

 

Someone else on here used one of the PAC adapters. They too work fine.

Thanks for that link. It was a toss up between the pac and axxess module. I think I'm going to go with the axxess because it's self learning so I don't need to program it. It has multifunction just like the pax module for a couple of more bucks.

 

Just to mention, you need to do some extra splicing/wiring to keep your "Answer/Hang-up" buttons on the steering wheel.

I chose not worry about it since you can do it on the head unit. Also, it's fairly easy to add the 2 new pins to the 24pin connector on the headunit harness so you don't have to splice any wires to get your PAC unit to work. Programming is really easy actually. Takes like 2min.

 

Yeah, I'm going to have to figure out those two buttons. Hopefully I can get all the buttons working.

 

Just to clarify. For our cars, you don't need any steering wheel modules for android power radios. The android headunits can take the raw signal from the both the volume control and Bluetooth control wires.

 

did you ever figure out how to make the phone pick up and hang up buttons work and the two below it?
