    What do i need to make my deck work? i'm assuming some sort of adapter is required to work with the bose, and a second adaptor to use the factory wheel buttons with my new deck. What is recommended? what works, what doesn't? thanks
    You need a Metra 70-1858 wiring adapter and an Axxes ASWC module for the wheel controls.....




    The Axxes module took about a minute to self program, and the wheel controls work as they did with the stock radio. My JVC remote has yet to come out of the center console.

    What do you need help with? You connect the wires from the Metra adapter to the wires from the radio harness, then plug them in.
