New Product from PAC will allow you to retain AC control w/ aftermarket radio & more
PAC Audio now has new harness with CAN-BUS integration to allow you to do so, along with plug and play for after market stereos for SWC. I am going to call them next week and see if I can't get someone technical on the phone to discuss this product further.

Update 11/29/2012 -
I was able to get the RP4-MZ11 wired up to the head unit last night. I plan on installing it this weekend after I get the kit to install my amp and sub. I figured I would post some photos, though not very good ones, of the RP4-MZ11 wired to my JVC head unit.
Update - Here is the finished install. I am uploading the Youtube Video now. When it's done, I'll post it as well. Everything went off with out a hitch. The device works. Sometimes it can be a little tempermental, but that fact that it works is great!
