Axxess AX-VW903 Volkswagen Data Interface with Steering Wheel Control & Factory Display Retention
Upgrade your Volkswagen factory audio system with the Axxess AX-VW903, a vehicle-specific data interface designed to make installing an aftermarket radio easier while retaining important factory features. Designed for select 2015 Volkswagen vehicles, the AX-VW903 provides a plug-and-play integration solution that maintains steering wheel audio controls, factory display functions, and essential vehicle features while adding the benefits of an aftermarket head unit.
The AX-VW903 allows you to replace the factory radio while maintaining a seamless connection between the vehicle's electronics and the new aftermarket stereo. The interface provides accessory power, retains retained accessory power (R.A.P.), and supports both amplified and non-amplified factory audio systems, helping simplify installation and eliminate the need for extensive factory wiring modifications.
Designed to preserve the original driving experience, the AX-VW903 retains factory steering wheel audio controls, allowing drivers to continue adjusting volume and audio functions directly from the steering wheel. It also maintains balance and fade controls while providing navigation outputs, including parking brake, reverse, and vehicle speed sense signals, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket navigation receivers.
The AX-VW903 helps retain important factory information that was previously displayed on the original radio screen. When used with a compatible aftermarket radio, vehicle settings and information can continue to be displayed through the radio's backup camera input. If the aftermarket radio does not include a camera input, an external display may be required for viewing retained vehicle information.
Installation is simplified with a direct connection to the factory harness, color-coded wiring, and a design that requires no cutting or splicing of factory wires. The included Axxess ASWC-1 interface provides built-in steering wheel control retention, while the micro-B USB update capability allows the interface software to be updated for future compatibility.
Before purchasing, vehicle compatibility should always be verified. The AX-VW903 is designed for select 2015 Volkswagen applications, including models such as the Beetle, Caddy, Jetta, Sharan, T-6, and Tiguan. Confirming fitment ensures proper installation and full retention of supported factory features.
Whether you're upgrading to a modern touchscreen receiver, adding navigation capabilities, or replacing a factory radio while keeping essential vehicle functions, the Axxess AX-VW903 delivers the factory integration, steering wheel control retention, and professional installation compatibility needed for a clean and reliable upgrade.
