Q: QuestionWill my vehicle steering wheel controls interface with this radio? Will my existing SXM work with this radio or do I need an add on module, antenna?

Asked 5 years ago by MAT.

• A:Answer I'm looking at buying this particular unit. You need to get the Maestro ADS-MRR unit separately and install it along with the head unit to retain the steering wheel controls, at least for Subarus (the maestro also allows you to view a range of diagnostic info like tire pressure, speed etc on the screen). I believe this unit already comes with a SXM unit that plugs into the port on the back.

Q: QuestionThis radio says it fits my car but I have a stock backup camera that comes up on my radio screen. This would replace that screen so will my backup camera still show up? Also will this work with steering wheel controls?

Asked 5 years ago by Nicole.

• A:Answer The XAV-AX210 has three camera inputs, all have a "phono" type connector and accept composite video, it is not likely that your car uses the same connector for the camera, so you will need a wiring harness from Metra, Scosche, or iDatalink. You can check their websites for specific info on your car, or ask the installers at Best Buy. The same is true of the steering wheel buttons, the stereo has an input for them, and you can program the radio for what each button does, but you will need the proper connector and possibly a sw controller box from one of those sources..

  I would recommend:
