Some Cars have Steering controls from new and when you replace you radio you want to keep these.

Not all after market radio's offer this function and depending on what brand of Head Unit you buy, depends on what to look for to ensure it is compatible with you car.

Do not confuse with Autoleads parts PC99 which are not compatible with CT leads.

Sony head units must have a joystick port referred to as RM-X2S or RM-X4S and it is actually a 3,5mm Stereo head phone type socket. Only UK Spec Head units will work with our interfaces. There is also a procedure for installing these leads to ensure it recognizes the remote controls, see Installation Tip above. None of the leads will interface with the cars display.

Kenwood head units must have a 4 pin mini din socket on a separate lead coming from the head unit to be compatible, or a dedicated blue wire specifically for steering remote. Again none of the leads will interface with the cars display.
