Installing Sony XAV-AX1000 Head Unit w/ steering wheel controls. Any tips or advice?
Hey everyone,
I accidentally posted this in 2nd Gen GE8 Specific Fit Interior Modifications Sub-Forum, but i meant to post it in this sub forum.
I will be installing a Sony XAV-AX1000 head unit in my 2013 honda fit sport without nav. Just had a few questions before my HU arrives later this week.
Here is a list of the things i bought:
1. Will I need to solder/crimp anything? I bought the crutchfield readHarness, so I believe that is already soldered. I am think i may have to solder Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Adapter? is this correct?
2. Everything else should most be plug and play?
3. Any advice before I start this weekend?
4. Any tools you wish you had when you started?
I have seen a few people use the OEM Honda Dash Kit for a fit with NAV. I might need to go this route if the ac vents or head unit doesnt fit nicely.
i dont know why, but I am mostly concerned about hooking up the steering wheel controls harness.
Thanks - Appreciate all the feedback.
