Wrathernaut's Double-Din Installation FAQ, Shopping and Resource List
#1188
Hi all, I'm getting my shopping list together and have two questions about steering wheel adapters:
With the OEM stereo, when the track up/down is pressed and held on the steering wheel it seeks to the next available radio station instead of switching to the next preset station.
Do the Metra Axxess or PAC SWI retain this functionality or have any press and hold functions for the steering wheel buttons?
It looks like the iDatalink Maestro is a third option for a steering wheel adapter. It can assign secondary functions to the buttons when they are pressed and held, so it can double the usefulness of the steering wheel controls.
Does anyone have any experience with the iDatalink Maestro steering wheel adapter?

The only good online retailer I see with the Maestro is Crutchfield, where it's twice as expensive as the SWI-PS or Axxess, with no benefits over either of them for most installs, so to keep the shopping list as simple as possible, I won't add it in.

Hey fellow audio fiends,
I have a complicated issue here. I have a 06 G35 non-navi with Bose premium factory setup currently.
I want to change out all the speakers except for the sub inside the car to Alpine Type Rs and a Kenwood dnx890 HU. I found out later I would need to change out the Bose amp since it supports only 2 ohms speakers (type r are 4 ohms). I think a 4 channel amp should be fine right?
If I get a four channel amp, can I use the existing Bose wiring with the ROMENIS2 harness? Are there any adapters you guys recommend?
Or do I need to wire it straight from the aftermarket HU to the aftermarket amp? Any recommendations?
Also is there a way to hook up the stock Bose sub to an aftermarket amp? Bass is not big need for me but having it is nice.
Thanks in advance!
