It also provides navigation outputs, including parking brake, reverse, and speed sense signals, along with a 12-volt illumination output for compatible multimedia receivers.
The AXTC-MB1 helps preserve the factory feel of the vehicle by retaining supported features such as balance and fade controls while providing seamless communication between the vehicle and aftermarket radio. Its Micro-B USB update capability and nonvolatile memory allow programmed settings to remain stored even after battery disconnection or interface removal.
