The CTMULTILEAD.5 is the essential, universal bridge between any Connects2 CTS-series steering wheel control interface and your new stereo. It is specifically engineered to resolve the limitations of standard patch leads when dealing with complex button arrays, scroll wheels, and multi-function controls found in modern vehicles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis smart lead extends and optimizes the analogue signal range, ensuring that every single steering wheel button—including problematic wheels, dials, and toggle switches—can be accurately detected and programmed to your desired functions on the aftermarket head unit.
