Kame Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Hi. I have a 2018 TRANSIT CONNECT with basic radio (no Sync 3) and steering wheel controls. Are there steering wheel control wires on this type of radio? Or where can I find them? (my chinese android radio has key1 and key2) Also, what's the name of the connector on this Ford radio? Thanks, I hope you can help me find the answers ? (I enclose some pictures of the original Ford radio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty150 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 On US models, we can buy interface kits. I suspect the EU models have similar kits. Axxess ASWC-1 Pros: Plugs into many Metra stereo installation harnesses for easier installation Easiest to program — the auto-programming feature recognizes the car automatically in many cases (see below), and programs the buttons automatically Reads both digital and analog signals (see the explanation below) Cons: Difficult to remap buttons — It's not as easy to redefine what the steering wheel buttons do iDatalink Maestro ADS-MSW Pros: Programmed online — set it up before you get out to the car and define the buttons the way you want Supports multi-function buttons — press once to do one thing, hold it down to do something else Watch the video demo on iDatalink's website — under the "Video FAQ" tab, look for "How to Flash a Maestro SW" Cons: Does not read digital signals — analog only (see below) PAC SWI-RC Pros: Least expensive option Works in many older vehicles Cons: Programming is more complicated — you have to program each button in a specific order Requires an additional adapter to read digital signals (see below) PAC SWI-CP5 Pros: Reads both digital and analog signals (see below) Supports multi-function buttons — press once to do one thing, hold it down to do something else Multiple programming modes — manual or via computer Confirms manual programming with audio beeps as well as flashing LEDs (the other adapters only use LEDs) Cons: Most expensive option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kame Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 Does it not have the key1 signal on the steering wheel column like the 2014 model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
