Asked 4 years ago by SoBayj.

Q: QuestionLooking to install this unit in a 2007 VW EOS. The car doesn't have steering wheel audio controls. Is there an aftermarket steering wheel control device that I can buy that is compatible with the DNX577s?

Asked 4 years ago by lvaught.

• A:Answer If the vehicle doesn't have steering wheel options then this function isn't an option. If your vehicle already had steering wheel buttons/features then that's where you can get an after market adapter to integrate what you already have. Hope this makes sense otherwise its best to talk to your local installer.

Q: Questioni have a 2014 Nissan Sentra says it won't fit but i purchased all the items that will make is that the case?

Asked 2 years ago by Beware.

• A:Answer I definitely recommend doing the research for what fitment kits you will need. There are several models of your car and they may have different factory stereos. I would cross reference a website like Crutchfield for fitment and kits. I used that site to check my fitment and then got assistance in store to purchase. You can collect a ton of reward points from Best Buy from this purchase and use on other things in store/online.
