Aerpro SAVW03 Infolink Adapter Interface Volkswagen MIB-PQ
A CANBUS Infolink adapter interface for Volkswagen vehicles with MIB-PQ factory radios, the SAVW03 retains factory steering wheel controls, OEM amplified system, and provides on-screen access to climate control, parking sensors with OPS radar overlay, and vehicle menus on the aftermarket head unit, with reverse trigger, park brake, speed pulse, illumination, and amp remote outputs.
Product Overview
The Aerpro SAVW03 is a CANBUS Infolink adapter interface designed for Volkswagen vehicles fitted with MIB-PQ factory radios. It goes beyond a standard steering wheel control interface by retaining factory SWC functions and providing on-screen access to vehicle information that would otherwise be lost when the factory radio is replaced. This includes climate control visualisation and adjustment, parking sensor monitoring with OPS radar overlay, and access to key system menus directly from the aftermarket head unit display. Multi-language support covers English, German, Spanish, Italian, and French.
The SAVW03 is compatible with SW-type patch leads, supports the OEM phone button and Voice Assistant button, retains the OEM amplified system, and provides reverse trigger (purple/white), park brake (green), speed pulse (pink), illumination, and amp remote outputs. The aftermarket head unit must have a rear camera input. Auto-detection of reverse camera signal (PAL/NTSC) simplifies setup. To retain a factory-fitted camera, an additional vehicle-specific camera retention harness is required and sold separately where available. High-definition camera resolution will be reduced when using this product. Selectable dipswitches allow precise configuration for the specific vehicle and head unit combination. Software updates are supported for long-term compatibility. Use the Aerpro Vehicle Selector to confirm the correct part for your specific vehicle before purchase.
