Hi, I am new to forum, and I think my first question is a basic one but I cant find any info on what I am looking for. I don't have a factory steering wheel remote, so I was looking at the Pioneer CDsr100 IR remote. I cannot find any info anywhere on if this remote can be used with the x940bt. I have researched the Metra and PAC interface modules, but they seem to only be for hard wired factory steering wheel controls. The Avic unit itself does not have an IR capability, and the Pioneer website has no info on remote control options. My Avic is in a Toyota Tundra, and the mount in the middle of the dash seems like it is along way from the drivers seat, so a steering wheel volume control would be ideal. If anyone has set up IR remote control of this head unit, a list of required components would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

I did some reading on the sticky above and have ordered the PAC-WRI as well as the Pioneer remote. I hope this is all I need to have at least basic control of volume and changing tracks on CD/Ipod. I would still welcome any ideas, recommendations, or things to avoid.

Hi Warren_G,

I used the Metra Axess ASWC universal steering wheel control interface in my Mercedes C230. It works fine and apparently has a lot of configuration options (I don't know because I had somebody else install it.

Good luck!

Are you using a factory steering wheel remote with yours, or an aftermarket one?

The Metra Axess ASWC steering wheel control is an aftermarket one. I got mine from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Metra-ASWC-Universal-Steering-Interface/dp/B0039H2W66/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361501561&sr=8-1&keywords=Metra+Axess+ASWC+universal+steering+wheel+control+interface). It should fit most cars.

no, is the remote a factory steering wheel, or are you using an IR remote?

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. The 'remote' is a factory steering wheel.
