The E82 doesn't come up on their online app guide, but I'm pretty sure it works. Just call the 800 number and ask tech support...they're a good bunch of guys.

But be warned that the can+ and can- pins on their instructions are labeled backwards. Ran into this during my last E90 hu swap.

The Metra interface will also work, and only one piece is required, but there's a lot more programming involved. I prefer PAC for steering wheel integration whenever it's an option.
I used a PAC in my Grand Cherokee, and I find it's got quite a bit of delay.

Trying the Metra AWSC just to see if it's a little more responsive. I'll post results when I get a new deck this spring.

Anyone find a double din mounting solution for the E82 yet?
