Works greatOct 03, 2009
The install is not for the technically inexperienced. Download the specific instructions from the website and combine those with the written material that comes with the unit. Once installed and programmed it works great.

Works flawlessly with the Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD (Vehicle: 2008 Subaru STI)Aug 25, 2009
Pac-Audio originally said that this would not work with the Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD but their latest version removed this headunit from the non-compatible list. It works. This should actually work with anything that has a remote input in the back that looks like a 3.5mm headphone jack.
I installed this on a 2008 Subaru STI with no problems except that PAC-Audio's instructions for the STI are actually wrong. The correct instructions you should follow are for the 2008+ Impreza/WRX, NOT the STI instructions.
Here is where you can find vehicle specific installation guides (click on Technical Docs):

 Works.. but slowAug 01, 2009
It enables factory steering wheel buttons to be used with the aftermarket stereo. It works well.. there is a definite delay between when the switch is pressed and when you see the response from the head unit. Ater 1 year of use, one of the steering wheel switch do not have any response.. not sure if it is PAC unit's complaint..

 UselessJul 19, 2009
I purchased this along with a new head unit for my car. Upon installation it worked intermittently for a short time, say a day or two, but then suddenly stopped responding to button pushes.
I contacted tech support and they walked through some troubleshooting but ultimately decided that I had a defective unit and we set up a replacement.
Upon receiving and installing the replacement the exact same thing happened- the device would work intermittently for a day or two before completely failing to respond.
I've installed just about every piece of car audio equipment I've ever owned, so I'm not a novice but I took it to a local installation, just in case the problem was me.
Want to know something funny? They refused to install it. They claimed they have had nothing but problems with the device and have completely stopped installing them as a result.
This is essentially a ~$45 paperweight, and an ugly one at that. I highly recommend against purchasing it.
