Default I've had the opportunity to get the 3-spoke wheel many times....
...turned it down, as I don't want to give up the remote radio controls.

Default Once you do the breakout with the wire harness adapter, you will have..
...a CAN Hi, and CAN Lo wire. That goes into the CAN BUS adapter. That CAN BUS adapter direct plugs into the steering wheel interface adapter and connects to the Pioneer's remote control wire.

You will also need 12volts and ground to these adapters, but that is not hard, as you will have the radios power and ground wires in the breakout.

Default Exact opposite for me. I'd love to have a 3-spoke, and I don't mind losing the
radio controls.
