The more I look, the more it appears that the F series doesn't allow steering wheel controls. The adaptors I see are all set to replace an IR remote. Are they trying to push the voice command that hard or am I simply missing something?

i believe the "wired remote" port on the back of the unit is for a steering wheel remote, no?

You are correct sir. Same as previous Pioneer units.

I think you can still use the PAC-SWPS module or whatever it's called to integrate your factory steering wheel controls...

I hope so...I already bought one for my yet-to-ship f90bt

Dido. Its sitting here waiting on the rest of the goodies

It has the port on the back for it.

I was hoping to use one of the Pioneer steering wheel remotes in my car that doesn't have steering wheel controls. Does this mean that wont work?

I have the F700BT and own a 2004 4Runner with steering wheel controls. It works fine. Take a little to get used to, but it works. Obviously it's not as smooth as it was with the original unit, but still is nice.

Whew! Its only an annoyance but I'm glad it looks like it'll work. Will the PAC-SWPS have the right connector on it or will I have to splice a certain connector to it? I'll have to get on ordering that and the XM reciever next. Thanks.
