A:AnswerThis will work on a 2010 Lincoln MKS and retain the factory steering wheel mounted audio controls and THX system. Unfortunately, you will not have fade capability with this interface either. Only the factory radio has that capability.
A:AnswerFor some vehicles this interface is required to keep the vehicle's CAN data network happy, as well as generating accessory (key in the on position) power behind the radio. This is the case even without the presence of factory features like steering wheel controls or factory amplifiers
