Peripheral Electronics®, AAMP of America’s innovative OEM integration division, announced today that its universal CANBUS adapter for Steering Wheel Control Interfaces is now shipping. The adapter, PESWICAN, lets owners of select late-model Audi, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Mercedes, and Volkswagen vehicles retain their factory steering wheel controls when installing an aftermarket stereo.
Currently, the PESWICAN works with 2002-2007 Audi A4, A6, RS4, and S4; 2005-2007 Chrysler 300c; 2004-2007 Dodge Caliber, Charger, Durango, Magnum, and Ram; 2005-2007 Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee; 2003-2004 Mercedes C230 and CLK320; and 2002-2007 Volkswagen EOS, Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, Rabbit, and Toureg.
In the past, installing aftermarket stereos in these CANBUS-equipped vehicles sacrificed the stereo’s volume, tuning, and other steering wheel controls. As a result, customers lost the safety and convenience of controlling their stereo from the steering wheel.
PESWICAN solves this problem by accepting CANBUS data commands from the steering wheel controls for use by Peripheral’s industry-best line of steering wheel control interfaces. Those interfaces include the universal PESWIX, PESWIECL for Eclipse radios, PESWIPS for Pioneer and Sony radios, and PESWIAKJ for Alpine, Kenwood, and JVC radios.
The MSRP of the PESWICAN is $105.95.
By allowing customers to change their factory head unit without losing the safety and convenience of their original steering-wheel controls, Peripheral Electronics once again shows its strong commitment to developing easy, seamless OEM integration solutions.

Dear sir,
I own a Golf GTI, 2006 model in which i have placed a
DPX701UY Cd receiver. For the steering controls to
work properly I have also placed the CAW-VW1280
interface harness. Dispate the use of that specific
part the seek function doesn’t work (right buttons of
the steering wheel). I would like to inform me if
there is another part for the proper function of the
steering control or if it is something else that i am
not aware of.
Waiting for your replay as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Eddie Fragos
