Steering Wheel Control On Aftermarket Head Units

[evil.pie]

So I just bought an 09 TC about a month ago and I was wanting to take my subs from my old Integra and put them into the TC. I have the stock Pioneer deck installed and I know you can still install everything to it just by buying a line output converter. The thing I'm concerned about though is the quality of the sound that will come out from my subs from the stock deck. I know I can get the Scion Premium Pioneer deck and I'd have no worries because that would let me just have the steering wheel control and also I wouldn't have to buy a line output converter since it has RCA outputs already. What I wanted to find out was if there were any aftermarket decks out there that let you use the steering wheel control. 0 for the Premium deck is steep if you ask me, but then again it does have the steering wheel controls. It would be great if someone could recommend a deck for me. Also it would be great to have some feedback from folks who have installed their subs on a stock deck and tell me what the sound quality you guys are getting. If it helps at all, I have a Rockford Fosgate P300-1 Amp powering 2 Rockford Fosgate P1S410's.

Crutchfield.com offers quite a few converters that will allow you to use your steering wheel controls with multiple different head units. Just look up the radio you want, and see if its compatible. I did this for a Clarion deck that I really liked, and the converter for the tC controls was about $46.

You can look up an adapter, the brand name is Peripheral, model (peswix). most retailers will sell this or something of the sort. It's a universal steering wheel control interface for any aftermarket stereo. It usually runs about $60-$80 or so, and in order to install it you would have to take apart your steering column and program the unit to your factory buttons. I've install plenty of these in a variety of cars, have had pretty good luck with them.
