Can I use my car's steering wheel controls with this unit out of the box and if not is there an adapter I can purchase?

You have to have an adaptor and I'm not to sure if they depend on your vehicle but I know the instructions defiantly talked about getting one if you want stering wheel controls. It won't work out of the box.

Yes, but you have to buy an adapter. I use a Metra Axxess ASWC Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface with my 2007 Honda Odyssey, and it works perfect with this receiver.

yes, axess-metra makes it, works with anything, just follow directions, really easy

I found this link. Judy's suggestion appears cheaper, but compare and see which will work for you. After looking through the manual I don't think you can use steering wheel control without that adapter.

You need to get an adapter, e.g., Axxess Metra ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface with New Micro B Connector.

You will need to purchase: Axxess Metra ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface with New Micro B Connector (Black) by Axxess $49.00

Hi Clint, there is an adapter that you have to purchase separately; I wish that was an option out of the box, but it isn't...

We use this adapter with our iPods in our Hyundai Accent and we can use the dash controls. I don't know about the wheel controls as our car does not that. It tells the name of the song and the album/singer name on the radio dial. Works great highly recommend!

Uh, I would say yes... I have it on my car with the steering wheel controls, the issue was that I needed to buy an extra adapter and program it...you may have to do that as well.

No not by itself you will need a steering wheel controller adapter Metra makes one. Part number ASWC-1. I would check with metra first to make sure it is compatible with your vehicle.

I bought the Metra steering wheel control unit so the two would be more compatible but you can still use the OEM steering wheel control with little to no issues (depends on your installer).

The answer is yes.. There is a harness that you buy. It's really not that expensive. Because there are not any nobs on the unit it is really nice to have the steering wheel controls..

It works with the adapter units made by Axxess controls which are sold on Amazon. Check the manufacturers website for compatibility information for your car

No it does not. If you want to use your car's built in controls you can get the adapter to do that however.

This item is just a wiring harness. If you want your steering wheel controls you have to buy a seperate unit

From the looks of it yeah. All this adapter needs is a power source and to be able to plug into the antenna plug for your stereo. You wont be able to control it via the stereo or steering wheel buttons but you should be able to connect it just fine.

You might want to check in their website http://www.axxessinterface.com/steering_wheel_control_new.aspx I don't know the firmware you device came with

Yes you need the steering wheel adapter. I installed this radio in my 2012 Challenger and steering wheel adapter, works great

Not that i'm aware of, you can use the Steering Wheel Interface Adapter PAC SWI-JACKv1 if compatible with vehicle.I use bluetooth from my phone to the unit to stream apps,(picks up audio only)works awesome!
1055567
Yes,it will,only if you want to use buttons on steering wheel,you need to purchase adapter cable separatly

I purchased this for my car and I love it, but I purchased another for my parents minivan, only to find that no, it's not steering wheel compatible. You'd best look elsewhere. Great unit for a car that doesn't require that function, though.

Yes, the HDR71BT will work with factory steering wheel controls. You need an adapter like the Metra ASWC-1 or the PAC SWI-RC. This JVC deck has a single-wire remote input that works with the steering wheel control interfaces from Metra, PAC, Peripheral, iDatalink, etc. Just make sure your steering wheel interface has a mini-jack-to-single-wire connector. The ASWC-1 and SWI-RC do, but some older interface adapters do not (they just have a mini-jack plug which won't work with this JVC deck).

The option is there. I don't have it connected because I have an aftermarket steering wheel. For all it's worth I say save a little more money and get a better unit, this one isn't bad but it is nothing special and can be crappy at points
