Does my aftermarket head unit need a rear USB input for this adaptor to work?
Yes. The PC7-AUX-SB03 connects the factory USB socket wiring to the rear USB input port on the aftermarket head unit. If your chosen head unit does not have a rear USB input, the factory USB socket cannot be retained using this adaptor. Confirm your head unit's rear USB input availability before purchasing.

The retained factory USB socket's functionality will depend on the aftermarket head unit's rear USB input capabilities. Most modern aftermarket head units with rear USB inputs support both charging and data. Confirm with your chosen head unit's specifications.
