Preparing a list of parts to install a double din head-unit and am unsure what steering wheel control adapter to go with. I've seen the guide on here recommending the Axxess ASWC-1, but the iDatalink Maestro seems a lot easier to set up custom inputs for. Crutchfield says both are compatible with my model.

Was wondering if anyone has used either and what your experiences were.

For reference, it'll be going in an 06 non-navigation with Bose and am planning on using a Sony head-unit.

 

There's the iDatalink Maestro SW, which is just for steering wheel controls, it's functionally identical to the ASWC-1. Both reprogram pretty easily and run about $60. Since there's no real advantage of it, the shopping list I maintain here goes for simplicity of only listing the one option.

I really, really wish that iDatalink would make the RR compatible with our cars, since it could act as a replacement for the climate controls when attached to a compatible radio.
