Aftermarket Radio with Steering Wheel Controls

Hey guys.

I'm getting an aftermarket radio installed, a Pioneer. My car is a 2003 C32. Do you know of any company that makes a compatible adapter that will work with the steering wheel controls for volume and such?

Apparently the one that PAC audio makes does not work on the 2003s.

When I did mine, PAC wasn't "sure" it would work in a 2002. Like Michael said, give them a call. After you figure out which CANBUS plug you have, the rest is easy.

if anyone has some really complicated questions about this stuff that PAC simply can not answer or we don't know, call their lead tech. keith at (714)541-7263 i won't give his cell phone number because i don't want to humiliate him with calls but he's the top dog when it comes to this stuff. oh and if anyone is nearby and wants to get their module programmed but don't want to go through the pains to do it, we have a programmer at my shop.

It worked on mine with my Pioneer double din. Even the phone controls work for bluetooth. PAC as well.
