Default Installing Radio

So I am finally replacing my radio in my 11 SCREW, I have non amplified radio with Sync and steering wheel control. I want to keep steering wheel control with new head unit, so I think I need the Metra ASWC-1 control box and the XSV1-5520-NAV wire harness, will I also need the standard harness or does the other one replace that?

That will work or you can use the cheap 5520 harness and run a turn on wire to the fuse box

So I got the radio (Pioneer AHV-X3800BHS) and I got the Metra ASWC-1 control box and the XSV1-5520-NAV wire harness now I am not sure about two other harnesses that came along with everything. Not sure if I need them or not, I have done quite a few radio and amp installs in the past but not anything with steering wheel control.



These are the connectors I am not sure about



For the most part I know with this I just ned to match wires and colors, where would the parking brake wire and reverse wire get hooked up to and would I need them? I would not watch dvd while I drive and I currently do not have a back up camera.

Well looks like you got 2 of the ASWC control boxes. Only need one.
You plug what looks like a small headphone jack into the back of the new radio. The red/white RCAs are used if you have a factory sub that you want to hook up.
Ground the parking brake wire and don't connect the reverse camera wire.

Thanks for the help, I talked with a guy at metra and he told me what I needed to order and that's how I got both boxes. Hopefully I can just return one
