I was looking at putting my Kenwood ddx 7701hd in my corolla le but I wanna keep all the steering whell controls will this part here work? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_249TY61N/Crux-SWRTY-61N-Wiring-Interface.html?tp=3486 . I am looking at keeping the factory blu tooth mic because it works really well in my car

It doesn't look like it keeps the microphone. They don't mention it anywhere on the site and in the pictures, I don't see a mic input labeled anywhere.

As far as I know there's no company that retains factory Bluetooth mic I was the first to get the prototype harness to retain backup camera and steering wheel controls. The company and guy who made it said there's issues with the factory mic and aftermarket stereos working together. I wanted to keep mine as well but I don't really talk much while driving so doesn't really bother me as much. I just like the expandability of the aftermarket stereo mainly the preamp outputs, DVD, better screen quality and features the factory stereo will never have. You can add GPS and everything and have a lot nicer stereo cheaper than you can replace the factory head unit.

So will I still have to buy this piece to keep my back up camera ?

I changed the speakers and added an amplifier, all pioneer. also added an mtx sub and amp combo. In order to interface with the head unit, I used the Audio Control LC2i. still want to add an equalizer at some point

^no need for head unit if you do that, all your controls and camera will still work great!

The sub will probably rattle the **** out of the backup camera lmao

I know mine is going to rattle like a mofo lol cause I have a sundown sa 15 with a audioque 1200.1. Do any of you have a video of your subs playing through the loc ?
