I'm planning on using an aftermarket radio, Pioneer avh-p4300dvd and use USDM Steering wheel controls w/ PAC SWI, and maybe adding a bluetooth module to the pioneer, i was hoping that would allow me to use bluetooth and steering controls from the usdm spec steering control buttons and maybe through your kit add cruise control too, does that sound like it would work?

Overall the result will be like having usdm spec v35 :) retaining all the same usage of the steering wheel control, you reckon it will work chris?

the pac peice will need programming. it is also IR based so response will be slower than a direct wire item. . I have sell one that will do a plug in on the radio and auto learn the controls.

the buttons are specific and if you have the WRONG set the cruise unit I use WILL NOT work.

happy to sell you all the bits though and you can pop it all together yourself. saves pying for a full steering wheel. I have a car to do in the morning that is getting exactly this except the radio is a clarion navi.

I'm running the (factory) Japanese audio controls with the PAC SWI-PSv1

(Head unit is a Sony XAV-72BT - Sony and Pioneer use the same PAC kit)

Install is pretty straight forward (though it will be harder for you obviously, but you only connect 3 wires from the standard controls to the PAC interface ( green and red with the resistor values that are marked in the kit, I believe it was 47 ohm and 150 ohm)

Yellow wire goes to ground, and then the PAC interface needs a ground and switched 12 volts

The one I am using plugs in directly to the back of the head unit

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
