Not to turn this into a car audio thread, but I've got a Metra AXXess ASWC that I'm hoping to get going with my Clarion. Since I'm getting good readings from the chassis harness/controls I installed, I think the problem is in the aftermarket gear.

haha, nope, guess again. I'm actually very curious as to how many of these there are out there... I've only seen one other one in a picture from some magazine (Car & Driver I think) but the whole vehicle looked like it was a computer model... This particular switch was about a month wait, but Ed was nice enough to track it down and get it to me.

There is no number for the harness in the wheel. It is listed as "part of the steering wheel" and not available separately.
That is the part number for the RH insert with audio only.

Any idea how hard it would be to swap in some digital hvac controls? I wouldn't be doing it just for steering wheel controls, I actually just dislike *****. Everything on our trucks looks very modern but then we have old school ***** for hvac and 4x4 controls? I know ***** are cheaper, but when you're already paying $35-65k for a truck, who wants cheap?

changing from manual to auto A/C would be a major project.
I'm not sure what all would need to be swapped, but the programming is completely different. I won't say it is impossible, but it would be a project that you would be doing blindly as it would fall under the rarest of the rare.
***** for 4x4? that's pretty fancy... although I personally prefer a lever.

I was looking for detailed instructions on removing the Airbag. Really don't want it to deploy on me while removing. I have all the equipment on its way to do the conversion. I'm going to use the temp controls for my Bluetooth on the Head Unit.... Any help would be appreciated.
