I'm seriously looking into doing this. I want to put in an aftermarket nav/headunit, so I called PAC Audio, and they told me that if I wanted to retain steering wheel controls for the music functions I would also have to get this depending on which unit I put in.

If you have done this install, can you confirm this? The description for the PAC MS-FRD1 says retains all steering wheel controls but I'm not sure if they mean just the controls related to SYNC.

Osiris1975: depending on the radio you get, it may come with bluetooth and ipod/usb connections. I would figure out a radio and see if it has those. if it does there is another harness out there that will give you the nav wires for $70.00. Then you can add the wheel controls to this. Only downfall to this i can see is that then the bluetooth is controlled through the radio so that button on the wheel will not work.

look at the top right of diagram on page 1 and middle of page 2

 

Ah yes I see now. So it seems this setup is possible. Will mull it over, I'm a bit reluctant about losing the 6 disc front loading changer in the stock setup because I listen to audio books from the library and they come on many discs.

If I am understanding this product correctly, for an Edge, it uses its own LCD display and controls for SYNC, Bluetooth and SAT radio info. The display appears to one line only. Is this correct? Does any of the SAT radio info (Title, Artist) appear on the head unit's display?

 

Thanks.

no all info is on the little screen.

as for the steering wheel controls yes it retains them with the appropriate interface.

 

I love this unauthorized sites that sell parts they have no clue what it is or what it does.
