Buying Pioneer AVH-P3200BT - Question about Steering Wheel Audio

Hey guys,

I'm getting myself the Pioneer AVH-P3200BT for Christmas. I needed an upgraded and wanted built in BT and better ipod functionality. Anyway., the install I forsee to be simple. Plug and Play.

My issue is with the Steering Wheel controls. I do NOT have the JBL unit, I have the basic radio that comes with the Sport model. Is this just plug an play, or do I have to go through the whole step by step that is stickied. From reading it seems to be for JBL stereos not for the basic one.

I plan on buying the adapter. The PAC SWI-PS

 

IMO the axxess SWI is a better choice than the PAC SWI, auto reads controls direct wire in, simple DIY.

 

I agree, this is what I did with my radio when I replaced with a pioneer 3200 dvd headunit. The axxess was simple to install and works as advertised with no lag between pushing the steering wheel control and radio response.

 

my pac has terrible lag

 

The axxess works great, I added the right side buttons and did have to reprogram.

 

I have the pac swi-ps and don't notice any lag. It works great.

A nice benefit to going with pioneer.

Returned and bought the Kenwood DNX-6960. Turns out I wanted the GPS, LOL. I was very adamant I did not need it and I probably don't. But I do not want to regret it later.
