The SWRVL-54 will work with any of the listed aftermarket radio brands that feature a steering wheel control input using the appropriate harness, connector, and dip-switch settings (see owner's manual for appropriate settings).

Successfully used this wire harness to install a Boss touch screen receiver into a 2005 Volvo XC70. Smooth install and everything worked first time. Very happy with product!
