Why is it worth buying a steering wheel control adapter?

It's important to remember that a car radio steering wheel control adapter isn't just for convenience, it's also for safety. With this device installed in your vehicle, you don't have to take your hands off the steering wheel to operate the radio. This allows you to stay focused on the road and have significantly greater control of your vehicle.

Maintain your steering wheel control functions when replacing your factory radio with an aftermarket radio. Please compare the wiring harness connectors shown with those in your vehicle to ensure visual and technical compatibility.
