This unit does have a steering wheel control input on the back of it. I have never used it because my car doesn't have the wheel mounted controls, but I have always wanted to try it. I'm sure it will work fine.

Works great with my x5 2001. Plays pandora also. When playing an album, you can use the steering wheel button to advance tracks. Also works with iPhone 5 when using the $40 apple interface cable

No. You lose the factory Bluetooth hands-free controls. The Bluetooth functionality of the unit is below the OEM standard; disappointing. The only steering wheel controls that work with this unit are the channel change, volume control and Mode change.

I have a Tucson IX without commands in the car steering wheel. This radio works in that case? And also please tell the accesories that this radio has.

You need steering wheel control harness (Metra 70-8114), a steering wheel controller (Axxess ASWC-1), and a radio wiring harness (Metra 70-1761). You will also need a radio mounting that fits your car.

There is a wireless remote. Could it be used on a steering wheel? Yes. Just not in a integrated way, but for some that is OK.

Hi sorry for the late response. I have the xm radio but I dont have car attachment. I know there is one you can buy but I love my xm radio. My dad has it and loves it too. I hope your husband gets it and loves it too.

with no info other than it being a standard head unit, I would suggest you contact a BMW dealer. They would be able to better answer your question. From what I'm finding, many head unit's have Siruis radio built into the unit.

Works on my 2011 328xi and iPhone 6. If it shows up as AUX just flip the lightning cable over plug it in and it will show up as "iPod" like the original BMW cable. All steering wheel controls work.

Noo..a steering system with volume and channel buttons etc..is like an external remote control. This radio cannot be connected to a wired remote.

Worked great on a 530i built in Mar 03. The listing says Sep 02 and later, so check your build date. The only part that interfaces electrically with the car is to the back of the radio head. The directions that came with it provided two alternative methods. For my car, it was simply plugging in to an existing, open port on the back of the radio head. I don't know if the alternate directions would make it work for an older radio. By the way, it works great. I can plug my iPhone into it and play music or streaming radio from the phone.

This is exactly what you need to FULLY integrate radio functions with your steering wheel controls. I'd just check your radio for compatibility--it needs to have a remote jack to plug the PAC RP4-MZ11 into.

There is a plug in the back for Steering wheel controls but my car doesn't have steering wheel controls so I didn't use that feature. This unit supports those controls but I'm not sure if you need a interface box or not. I would call Alpine up and ask them if you need a interface box or you just plug yours into this unit. It's a 3.5 mm headphone style jack so if your car has that plug already, it should just be plug in play but if not, you might need a interface box for it.

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.

I believe so using the small menu and set buttons on top of the radio you can adjust several functions with steering and throttle outputs. I would google the set up instruction for the controller I should show you how to set up and adjust the steering.
