- The CS-CR41 includes two wiring harnesses for older and newer model vehicles. Only one of the wiring harnesses will be used for your particular vehicle.
- The CRUX CS-CR41 does not retain Uconnect.
Amplified or Non-Amplified Systems: The CRUX CS-CR41 can be used in Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen vehicles with or without a factory amplified system. It does not support front and rear fading in vehicles with a factory amplified system.
Steering Wheel Control Retention: The CRUX CS-CR41 also features a steering wheel control output for Pioneer, Sony, Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood, JVC , Jensen, Dual/Axxera, Boss and other aftermarket head units. The steering wheel control output consists of a right-angle 3.5mm connector and a light blue/yellow wire (use the connection that your aftermarket head unit is fitted with). The Crux interface module will work with any of the listed aftermarket head units, by setting its three dip-switches (see owner's manual for appropriate setting).
Note: There are two steering wheel control harnesses; you will only use one based on the brand of your aftermarket stereo. Both feature a 4-pin connector which plugs into the interface module. One of the SWC harnesses is equipped with a 3.5mm connector and one blue/yellow wire (for Alpine/Clarion/JVC/Kenwood/Jensen/Dual/Boss), while the other is only equipped with a 3.5mm connector (for Pioneer/Sony).
Navigation Outputs: The CRUX CS-CR41 provides a Reverse Trigger wire and VSS (Vehicle Speed Sense) wire for simplifying the installation of an aftermarket navigation receiver.
Note: The CRUX CS-CR41 does not offer a Parking brake output wire.
