How do I find the right CANbus TO WORK WITH SWC INTERFACE / ADAPTER?
We are not technically trained with all the various steering wheel control interfaces on different vehicles. Connects2 and other after-market accessories retailers developed universal CANbus boxes which can be programmed to work with digital SWC and other functions. However, we have very limited knowledge on this and you should contact your local professional car audio installer for help choosing the right adapter to work with your car and your new car stereo. They can also answer any questions you have about the installation and give you some ideas about the work involved. Please do ask to see proof or references that they do actually have the knowledge and experience to complete such a task.
