Antenna Cable Should be Longer

The wiring interface does make the install easy, I do have one issue with the length of the antenna adapter. This is the plug that is easiest to displace when manipulating the receiver to install. If it was just 3 inches longer it would make the install so much easier

waste of money

adaptor kit does not fully work with system - leaves gaping hole in dash with no place for the hazard light switch to go - steering wheel controls no longer work - even though I paid for that - there were almost no instructions -

I've used kits like these before to retain factory controls and it seems like they're pretty hit or miss on if they'll actually work. But that was not at all the case with this Crux kit. At was quite literally plug and play in my experience, using it with Kenwood head unit in a Honda. Absolutely would buy again.

Vague Instructions Just Barely Adequate

Took me a while to figure out how this interface wiring harness matched up with the Pioneer DMH-1770NEX radio and the harness that came with the radio. The instruction sheet is a single sheet printed on both sides that has a basic table showing wire colors and their function. It would have been better to just clearly state the obvious that the installer splice wires that are similar in color together between the two new harnesses and ignore wires on the Crux harness that will not be needed. Once all the splices were complete, I used Wago splicers, reassembled the Pioneer back in the car it worked as advertised. I had to disassemble the whole unit out of the truck again because I neglected to pull the external USB cable into the cab. This required drilling a discreet hole on the bottom of the instrument trim panel. There was no alert in the instructions that that was necessary. Furthermore, the Crutchfield Master Installation sheet is pretty basic and could use some further improvement. Watching a couple of unassociated videos on YouTube were more instructive than the Crutchfield instructions.

Very helpful in being able to use the steering wheel controls while driving. I had to request a new interface box since the first one didn't connect well with changing the channels on the radio. The replacement works better, but changing the channels does not 100% the first time. Changing the volume always works immediately. Better this than nothing at all!

Perfect to retain controls.

Easy to install. Works perfectly. On our Sony head unit the hole is labeled "remote" to plug in the 3.5mm jack from this adapter. I'm not too familiar with stereo jargon but I kept on looking for "steering wheel" controls in the instructions to figure out where to plug this into. But "Remote" is for steering wheel controls.

Could use clearer instructions

I had two issues with this harness. First: the steering wheel control didn't work until calling tech support and "correct" the switch positions (different from their instruction) to make it work. Second: I bought this for my van and it would be very helpful to indicate that for a bigger vehicle like a van, one would need to add extra wires in between the harness and the stereo harness. My mistake to soldered them together and found that the wires are way too short and have to redo and extend the wires.

It works, wonky instructions

Instructions were the typical "written-by-a-non-english-speaking-person" and somewhat vague and confusing, but I was able to get it done. I would have given it 5 stars but it has a slight delay in response time compared to the factory setup, which I found irritating. It works though.

Doesn't Work Correctly for 2008 Honda Pilot

Did not work properly in my 2008 Honda Pilot. Volume Down button worked extremely sporadically, Volume Up button would sometime zoom the volume all the way up just with one button press. Rewired connections and still didn't work. Crutchfield sent a new Crux interface and wiring. Rewired with new Crux interface with the same behavior. Crutchfield sent a new head unit to try, in case it was the radio but still the same behavior. Eventually they sent an Axxess ASWC-1 controller which works perfectly. I was not happy with the hours I spent troubleshooting this interface, wiring and rewiring. Please note that this review is in regards to the interface, not with Crutchfield, who were extremely helpful in sending new equipment to try with no fuss. If you have a 2008 Honda Pilot, do yourself a favor and use the Axxess ASWC-1 instead, in case the Crux doesn't work in your vehicle either.

works great, but directions are not complete

Works great and allows usage of steering wheel controls with new unit. I subtracted a star because the instructions omitted a step that caused me to remove the unit after installation to correct some wiring. I used this for 2007 Honda Pilot. There's a blue wire with the antenna adaptor, but the instructions do not provide any information on what it is for or where it should connect. My radio reception was terrible. After some research online, I found that Honda uses an amplified antenna and the blue wire needs to be hooked to a power source. I called Crutchfield for help. They knew what to do and told me exactly how to wire it. Too bad it's not included in the instructions up front. It would have saved me some hassle, but all's well now.

Crutchfield response on

Wiring interface worked well, with one exception

Wiring harness and steering wheel interface went together as promised, except my Honda had two connectors and the harness only has one, so two wires (not sure of their function) cannot connect to my aftermarket radio. Also, the steering wheel interface did not maintain all functions - the Volume buttons work okay, but the AM/FM band button now changes the Source on my Kenwood unit and the Channel button does not function at all. For the price of the harness and the interface, I expected everything to connect and work as it should. At this point, I should have saved my money and gotten the standard harness and skipped the steering wheel interface all together.

Wiring Harness/Steering wheel control

This harness worked fine with my Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. There was only one inconsistency in one wire that I did have to call tech support about (of course Crutchfield was awesome with tech support!); one striped wire had to go to a non-stripe (this maybe a Pioneer inconsistency - IDK). This wire harness includes steering wheel controls and everything works, but one press of the volume control on the steering wheel pushes two notches of volume on the head unit, so I end up with too loud or too soft music playing. Not really sure this is an interface issue or a problem with the Pioneer AVH-4100NEX head unit. Any advice on this one is appreciated!

Works Well

Installed easily on a Honda CR-V. Labeling made integration of my steering wheel controls easy, and it works very nicely. Well worth it if you want to retain steering wheel control. One possible improvement would be a male-female interface appropriate for both the car and the unit purchased in order to avoid so much wire splicing, which you should be prepared for.

Connected to Alpine CDE-154BT in a 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L.
