Eclipse will be the only one that will hook up to the factory steering wheel controls without modifications. However there are adapters available to retain the factory steering wheel controls using the new headunit. Pacific Accessory Corporation is one company that does. I believe they have an adapter for Kenwood decks. Check out the link below for more details. I have the PAC adapter for my Pioneer Avic.

Use mine everyday to adjust the volume and switch tracks. I never listen to the radio so I am usually sorting through my CDs for tracks I want to hear.

Check out the link I posted above for the adapter. As stated before the only aftermarket head unit that can use the factory steering control setup without modification is Eclipse since they are Fujitsu Ten which make some of the factory radios for Toyota.

From the instructions given with the adapter it doesn't seem too hard if you have basic knowledge in wiring.

 

[absolut]

wow! thats expensive with no navi....

Thats what i paid for my Sony XAVA1, it's not that expensive when you look at how much ones with navigation are. It's worth spending the money for a good product, you get what you pay for.

I just don't understand why it has the HD-Radio logo on it, but then it says that it doesn't have HD-Radio...??
