Can I control the volume through steering wheel without buying the metra steering wheel kit?

I don't know enough about car electronics to install this myself, but the shop was going to charge more than I could by this for on amazon so take this with a grain of salt. They still had me buy the steering wheel kit. They said the board is built into this dash kit but you still need the metra steering wheel kit to make it all work the way its supposed to. Luckily amazon has a pretty lax return policy. My advice would be to buy it and if you find out you don't need it after it ships to you just immediately return it.

There is a device that can integrate with your steering wheel controls that you install. Costs about $40.Metra Axxess ASWC OEM Steering Wheel Control Universal Interface Module

There's no button on steering wheel. Buttons on my radio can be used. Problem is it's hard to remember which is which. I don't have Siri.

You're going to need to order "Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface". Works great.

You will need a adapter to control your new stereo through the steering wheel controls.

you will need an adapter like the Metra ASWC to retain steering wheel controls. To retain SYNC functions, you will need the Metra XSVI 5520 harness

If you are referring to the steering wheel controls, you will need a Axxess ASWC-1 interface. This is the only adapter that will properly interface with this stereo. Visit Axxessinterfaces.com to check your vehicle compatibility.

It works fine with the Steering wheel controls. I have a FJ cruiser and my sub Wolfer is not working with it. Not sure if it was in installation or stereo does not support it.

If you want to use your factory steering wheel controls with this stereo, in addition to the radio replacement wiring harness you will also need a steering wheel control interface. This will allow you to retain the factory steering wheel controls when replacing the factory radio. Car Amps Online

I doubt it, I've only used the iPod interface so far and I have both steering wheel and on screen controls in my vehicle. The only thing that works correctly is the volume button. Every time I turn off the car I need to disconnect my iPod and reconnect it, to get it working back to where it was when I turned the car off. The installer I used told me these only work about 25% of the time, and rarely work as advertised. He was spot on with mine, it works to get sound out, but that's about it. I would look at other options, the only reason I didn't return this is that I paid to have it installed.

In order for any aftermarket radio to work with steering wheel controls you have to use an integration kit. You lose all functions of it as soon as you take your factory radio out.

I can't help you with the question. My car doesn't have the steering wheel controls.

I don't know specifically. I know there were a lot of instructions for being functional with steering wheel controls. I would think you are OK. I am very happy with the stereo

Thank you very much for your answer. Did not know I needed an "access controller" sense my new head unit says it allows steering wheel control-ability. Will look into purchasing one. Thank you.

No. My truck doesnt have steering wheel controls and bluetooth works fine without it. I cannot speak to any detail about steering wheel controls or connections.

If you have the aux and the usb input it will work fine plus the controller for the volume on your steering wheel

You need to get an adapter, e.g., Axxess Metra ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface with New Micro B Connector.
