MAIN FEATURES
Audio Tech Direct has expanded its range to include Steering Wheel Control (SWC) Interfaces. These vehicle‑specific modules let you retain your car’s original steering wheel controls when fitting an aftermarket head unit. By translating the commands from your factory buttons, they ensure your new stereo responds just like the original — so you can adjust volume, skip tracks, or take calls without losing the convenience of your OEM controls.
The Audio Tech Direct SWC Interface Kit is designed for BMW and MINI vehicles equipped with either 17‑pin or Quadlock connectors and i‑Bus systems. With plug‑and‑play connectors and compatibility across leading aftermarket brands (via patch leads), it ensures a professional installation without compromising OEM functionality.
Features:
- Retains factory steering wheel audio controls with aftermarket head units
- Compatible with BMW/MINI vehicles using 17‑pin or Quadlock connectors
- Supports i‑Bus communication for full functionality
- Plug & play installation with vehicle‑specific connectors
- Maintains OEM convenience and safety
- Designed and supplied by Audio Tech Direct
- FREE Multilead patch lead provided
