Retains Factory Aux Input: The CRUX SWRFD-60L can retain your vehicle's factory Aux input through the stereo RCA connectors within the wiring harness. Your aftermarket head unit must have a rear-panel Aux input (male mini to female stereo RCA adapter may be required, sold separately).
Retained Factory Sub: The CRUX SWRFD-60L will retain your vehicle's factory amplifier and sub through the mono-RCA connector and remote turn-on lead within the wiring harness. Your aftermarket stereo must be equipped with a subwoofer pre-out and remote turn-on lead.
Steering Wheel Control Retention: The CRUX SWRFD-60L comes pre-programmed to retain the factory steering wheel controls in your vehicle. The included steering wheel harness consists of a right-angle 3.5mm connector and blue/yellow wire (you'll only use the connection type your aftermarket radio is equipped with). There is also steering wheel control (SWC) adapter for aftermarket radios with a 3-wire steering wheel control input. The SWRFD-60L will work with any of the listed aftermarket radio brands that feature a steering wheel control input using the included harness, appropriate connector, and dip-switch settings (see owner's manual for appropriate settings).
- 3.5mm Connector: Alpine, Clarion, Dual/Axxera, Jensen, Pioneer, and Sony
- Blue/Yellow Wire: Kenwood and JVC
- 3-Wire Adapter: Other aftermarket radios (like Boss) with SWC Key 1, SWC Key 2, and SWC Ground wires

This harness worked great for my 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis. I used the Crutchfield Ready-Harness feature and everything was correct. The steering wheel controls work properly (SWC) and it worked immediately without having to change anything.
