The KW8FT29 installaon kit allows for the retenon of the vehicle’s steering wheel controls and helps maintain
the original aesthec of the interior when installing a new car stereo. The KW8FT29 gives you everything you
need for a complete install in one box. The components of this kit are compable for the Fiat Ducato (8 Series
2021-UP) with no factory stereos (open-dash vehicles). The wiring harness and interface will retain the steering
wheel controls. The interface supplied features a Mini ISO connector.
