Default Steering wheel audio controls + aftermarket DDIN?

I'm really looking into the Avic D3, it's defiantly the best value of any deck I've found, but I'm not sure if it can provide steering wheel audio control link. Do you know what I'm talking about? If the AVIC doesn't work, what deck does have an audio link? Thanks!

I just installed one onto a Toyota yesterday!

What you need is the PAC SWI-PS module.

Here is the link:
http://www.pac-audio.com/products/pr...el%20Interface

It's pretty simple to install.

Good luck!

Its pretty much a universal module for many cars. They have instructions that tell you exactly what wires you need to hook up for your specific car. The instructions are easy to follow. Hope this helps!

That looks like a good deal. Has the 90K maintenance been done?
Check the ball joints and door lock actuators. Feel under the mats for dampness

I like it

Yeah that's awesome, but what deck did the toyota have put in? I'm really looking forward to having a AVIC D3 and being able to keep the audio controls! It just sounds like a dream come true!
