Kenwood takes convenience and drivers safety to the next level. 
We now offer you the opportunity to control your Kenwood head unit using the factory-installed remote controls mounted on the steering wheel of your car. This allows you to control your Kenwood system without taking your hands of the steering wheel. A safe and convenient solution to fully enjoy the quality of your Kenwood system, while keeping your eyes where they belong: on the road!
Take control of your Kenwood system.
Many cars nowadays offer the opportunity to control the factory-fit audio system from the remote control buttons on your steering wheel. When you exchange this system however for an aftermarket audio system, almost always the control buttons use their functionality. Until now!
Because Kenwood has developed a series of custom-made steering wheel remote control adaptors (SWRC's) that "translate" the signals from the factory-installed remote control buttons on your steering wheel to a "language" that Kenwood head units understand. This allows you to control all kinds of settings* like volume, tuner band search, tuner presets skip back/forward, CD/DVD skip forward/back etc.
To see what steering wheel adaptor you will require for your car please click on the link on the left-hand side of this page.
The units detailed below from our 2008 to 2006 product range have the facility to connect to our steering wheel control adaptors. If you have an earlier Kenwood head-unit please consult with your Kenwood dealer about compatibility.
