Help. 2008xb inputs and steering wheel remote
I bought a 2008 Scion xb and the center console Ipod, Aux inputs and Steering Wheel remote didn't work. I took out the 1808 radio and found that the connectors and been cut off and capped. I am trying to find out what cables, interface? and sat radio to use. I would like to use factory equipment. I also looking for a wiring diagram that shows all those connections. All I can find is the basic power and 4 speaker diagram.
Please help.
Please help.
Does the car have a factory radio in it at this point. It sounds like it had an aftermarket and the cable were all cut to make some room in the dash. At this point it might be a lot easier to get and aftermarket radio and just route the inputs to the stock locations is you want to still use them. i did that with mine so that I had a USB plug instead of just an Ipod jack and the sat radio is built in to the new headunit.

Here's the OE 2008 head unit connector information I put together when working on mine, C27 has the SW controls. Good luck!
