Question Anyone have opinions on this Aftermarket Steering wheel control devise?

Well I'm very interested in getting this but seller says"no install instructions and no programing needed thus no programing instructions either" he wrote me saying it controls volume, tracks/stations and source he claims its almost plug and play...anyone here heard of them or use them?

I don't have experience with this unit, but I'm also interested whether it would work. It looks like the listing says it's for 2005 and greater. Of course, the way it's written is kind of confusing.

Yes, they're flat panel filters. So far they've been great. The fitment is perfect and the performance seems to be there. Can I say I can genuinely tell the difference between them and any K&N's I've used in the past? No, but at least they haven't shredded to pieces like the Green filters I used to have in there. They run in between $80 and $90 a piece, but if you look around you can find them for less. I actually bought mine off a forum member for $40 each.
