Retains Factory M.O.S.T 25 Amplifier: The Axxess Integrate AX-MC90082 retains your Mercedez-Benz vehicle's stock M.O.S.T. 25 amplifier with balance control (fader control is not supported). Your aftermarket head unit must feature a set of 2ch pre-outs (full-range).
Retains Steering Wheel Controls: If your new aftermarket head unit is steering wheel control ready, the included ASWC-1 steering wheel control interface module and harness allow you to retain your vehicle's factory steering wheel audio controls.
Navigation & 12V Accessory Outputs: The AX-MC90082 radio replacement interface module also provides accessory power for your aftermarket stereo, as well as navigation outputs such as parking brake, reverse, and vehicle speed sense.
- 12V/10A Accessory Output: In these GM vehicles, there is no 12-volt accessory wire in the factory harness, which requires the installer to run an accessory wire to the fuse box or underneath the steering column when installing an aftermarket radio. The AX-MC90082 is designed to provide a 12-volt/10-amp switched accessory output (red wire) for your new aftermarket head unit.
- Navigation Outputs: The AX-MC90082 also provides parking brake, reverse, and vehicle speed sense (VSS) to make installing an aftermarket Navigation head unit simpler and less time consuming.
Retained Accessory Power (R.A.P.): The ignition power source of of the Mercedes ML or GL keeps the radio on until one of the doors is opened. This feature is called the R.A.P. (retained accessory power) and is retained with AX-MC90082 interface.
