The AXTC-VW2 allows you to retain factory steering wheel audio controls after replacing the original radio. Its built-in steering wheel control technology automatically detects the vehicle type, radio connection, and preset controls, helping simplify programming and installation with many major aftermarket radio brands.

The AXTC-VW2 also helps preserve factory vehicle features by retaining the factory backup camera (when equipped) and providing a 12-volt illumination output. Its Micro-B USB update capability allows installers to keep the interface firmware current for future compatibility improvements.
Featuring dual-assignment capability for steering wheel control buttons, the AXTC-VW2 gives installers added flexibility when configuring aftermarket radio functions. Its nonvolatile memory keeps programmed settings stored even after battery disconnection or interface removal.
Before purchasing, vehicle compatibility should always be verified. The AXTC-VW2 is designed for select Volkswagen applications including Beetle (2016-2019), Golf Series (2015-up), Jetta (2016-2019), Passat (2016-2018), and Tiguan (2016-2017) depending on factory equipment and audio system configuration.
Whether installing a touchscreen receiver, replacing a factory stereo, or upgrading a Volkswagen multimedia system, the Axxess AXTC-VW2 delivers the steering wheel control retention, factory feature integration, and professional installation support needed for a clean aftermarket radio upgrade.
