It facilitates the installation of an aftermarket head unit into the OEM dashboard while retaining important features and functions such as steering wheel control presets, reverse camera, and parking sensors (if applicable).
Note : This product is only compatible with vehicles equipped with MIB II systems. Connected Car features like E-Call and We Connect, as well as the towing alarm, are not actively retained but may have limited functionality in the background.
