Question, were you able to reprogram the "mode" steering wheel button to be used for the bluetooth in your after market deck? (i.e. through the PAC TATO)

Thanks

I haven't been able to program my steering wheel controls yet, I've tried numerous times with no luck. And I use both PAC TATO and PAC SWI-JACK to retain the controls. But personally I would just leave the mode button alone as it already has a job. When I get a call I just press accept on the screen.

Do you mean even your volume control buttons do not work? I thought the SWI-JACK took care of that...

It does but it needs to be programmed and I can't figure it out, and I was wrong I'm sure you can program the mode button to work with your Bluetooth. I was thinking it controlled the display but that's the disp button lol

I guess disconnecting the battery, and removing the airbag should be sufficient to replace the steering wheel controls? SICK350, could you please confirm?

Yes that's right, I was told to wait 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery before removing the air bag.
