Asked 9 months ago by marisdaman.

• A:Answer Hello Valued Customer, thank you for sharing your question! Yes, to retain your factory steering wheel controls when installing the Kenwood DMX129BT receiver, you will need an additional accessory — a steering wheel control interface module (sold separately). Your local Geek Squad installation professional at your nearest Best Buy, with an install bay, can provide you the details and costs of that accessory.

Q: QuestionDoes it have a 16 pin power harness

Asked 1 month ago by Timbo.

• A:Answer Hello Valued Customer, thank you for sharing your question! The Kenwood DMX129BT multimedia receiver comes with a wiring harness in the box, but it uses Kenwood’s standard multi-connector harness and NOT a simple 16-pin single block. You should be able to get a vehicle-specific adapter, based on your year/make/model of your vehicle, which can be found on Best Buy's fit-guide. You can find this on the product listing page of their site, or you can also connect with a Geek Squad installation professional at any of the local Best Buy stores with an install bay.
