OK guys, so here's the dilema! Bought my new HU (JVC KW-AVX830), went to buy the normal $6 wire harness, then bam! Supposedly you can't go with a generic one, because the dash lights, security system, etc. all have something to do with the HU wiring. So now I have to buy light a $60 harness, but before I do, I wanted to check with you guys! Theres a few of them out there, but now I'm reading that even with those interfaces, you still lose your cruise control and all the other stuff on your steering wheel...wtf! I guess Scosche makes a module for that too, but that's another $60. So I guess my question is, has anybody gone through this that might be able to chime in with some good info? I am going to completely bypass the Monsoon system (running all new speaker wires as well), so does anybody know of an "all-in-one" harness? (for the aftermarket HU and keep steering wheel controls, etc) Or am I just stuck with a $130 HU install (which is by far the dumbest thing I've ever f*ckin heard!) Please help guys, before I sell that p.o.s.....lol
