The way the control works is the after-market radio you are installing has to have a remote-control plug in on the back that will accept a "wired" control module. What the PAC controller does is plug into that "remote control" port and wire into your steering wheel controls. The PAC unit is designed to be sued with a variety of radios but I suggest you go to PAC's website to see what compatible with the radio you want to use. I'm not a stereo installer but I remember when I installed the PAC onto my son's 2008 Mazda 3, PAC had a wiring diagram for his car specifically. You might see if PAC has that same installation guide for your Buick. I hope that helps you with your radio project. Also, my son's stereo is a Pioneer with that "remote control" option.

Do you already have the seat? If so, please read the manual and all of your questions will be answered. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but too many people don't read the manuals and they contain life saving information about the correct use of car seats. The manual will tell you how to adjust the harness :)

My 2006 Scion XB had ipod integration that worked great with the previous ipod. When I got a new one the integration no longer worked. Some one told me that they changed where the power pin is. I bought this adapter and it worked but not perfectly. Now my ipod charges and plays but the controls on the steering wheel do not work properly. When I hit next it just restarts the current song. However if you ignore the steering wheel controls it does work as far as charging your device and pausing your device when you stop the engine to get out of the car. When you get back in, your music picks up where it left off. So I am glad I got it. I can't say how it will work with your car.

This item is designed only to maintain stereo controls on your steering wheel. If you do not have stereo controls on the steering wheel, You do not need this.

I found this link. Judy's suggestion appears cheaper, but compare and see which will work for you. After looking through the manual I don't think you can use steering wheel control without that adapter.

From the looks of it yeah. All this adapter needs is a power source and to be able to plug into the antenna plug for your stereo. You wont be able to control it via the stereo or steering wheel buttons but you should be able to connect it just fine.

I would suggest to call Toyota and find out for sure what type of harness is there. If it has an ISO style harness then you are fine. If it has anything else you will need one. If you need one you can find them on here or at crutchfield.com Hope this helps you out.

Mathew, Apparently this car player has the capability to get conected wired to a Steering wheel control, but not sure if it can get connected to a universal control or to the built in car control.. I dont have Steering wheel control on my car so I can't assure you of that. Sorry

Though I do not know for sure, from what I could figure out it's for newer cars that have stereo controls on the steering wheel.If your car does not have this, then you don't need to worry about it.

Hello. You will need to purchase an aftermarket, vehicle specific harness for your vehicle. This harness will need to be wired to the stereo harness to adapt the wiring.

I bought this one for my 2005 Lacrosse. It looks identical to the factory remote. I purchased the factory remote at a Buick dealer for over $100 and they used a hand-held device to program it. They said within a year I could have it reprogramed. I will see if I can get this new one programed. Otherwise, I believe a lock smith could also program it for around $45. These things are not cheap, and require special equipment to lock in the code. The dealer sat under the steering wheel programing it, so I don't think there are consumer instructions.

If you have the large red harness you will need the adapter harness. I put this on an 88 special works great but I had to get adapter harness. Best control box for an omc.

You must purchase a steering wheel adaptor kit specific to your vehicle in order to mount your steering wheel. The horn adaptor is part of the kit and should work well. I love my wheel, had one in high school on a different vehicle. Check the adaptor information to verify all components are included. You won't be disappointed, I am sure.

Get the "sure grip" steering knob. Much more expensive but well worth it! You can get them installed at handicapped mobility store. Don't waste your money on any others!

Mark you need the aftermarket steering wheel adapter. The adapter then splices into the wiring harness which attaches to your factory wiring. Pretty easy splice depending on the vehicle.

In order to keep your steering wheel controls, yes you will need an adapter, and it appears that the BOSS unit will not work with the adapter. Jensen VX7020 unit will work though. If you go to crutchfield.com and put in your car info. they will show all the install gear that you will need to install the unit in your car.

Check the PAC website for a list of compatible vehicles. The adapter comes with a very comprehensive code guide for setting it up on vehicles with steering wheel controls, and I believe they have a PDF of the same guide available for free download.
