Review: The best part is that each button on the steering wheel can be programmed with two functions each. - Excellent product! I installed a new Kenwood stereo in my FJ Cruiser and to activate the steering wheel controls, I installed Maestro Sw. It worked perfectly; the buttons function flawlessly, and best of all, you can program each button with two functions. So, I also used the volume down button to reject calls by pressing it briefly and hanging up, and the volume up button, when pressed briefly, answers phone calls! The manufacturer provides clear instructions.
Review: THIS IS THE ONE! - IT WORKS in my 2011 Honda Pilot! I tried three other recommended modules. Save yourself the trouble if you're putting in a chinese 10 inch android stereo in a Honda and get this SWC module. It has the clearest instructions and simple setup to install yourself. I just needed to buy a 3.5mm female jack and used the white and red wires for key 1 and 2. The search is over! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
