Steering Wheel interface

[Satch]

Just installed a Kenwood DPX500BT in my 07 Mazda3 and wanted to know if anyone has installed a Steering wheel interface. Which do you recomend and is it a difficult installation.

I am literally in the exact same boat with my '05 GT. Same deck as well.

i got a PAC steering wheel interface for my kenwood deck but there's a much better one from Metra called axxcess (or something like that) that auto-programs and should be easier to install. i couldn't get mine working on my own so i got auto-links to do it lol

This is where you remove the oem steering wheel n get that sparco one you have always wanted ;)

ive never understood the need to remove the factory airbag

I have the PAC audio module, and I'm looking at the instructions. The first two steps are:

Connect the BLACK
wire to ground (-).
Verification: Wire
or location registers
a constant (-) when
probed.
Step 2.
Connect the RED wire
to switched +12V.
Verification: Wire registers +12V when the
ignition key is turned
to the ACC or ON positions.


Where do I find a ground/12v connector? I know very little about this sort of thing, it took a couple of hours for me to finish my deck install. I did complete it and I'm determined to get the steering wheel controls working as well. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Metra's part is actually very nice

It is the ASWC and it is auto learning and very easy to install

Thank you

I've used the ASWC in a couple of cars now and its one of those.. "Oh wait.. thats it? I'm done?" installs. Worth the price of admission. Way better than the PAC
