Headunit Questions and Steering Wheel Controls

Stock 130N took a dump yesterday, only plays sounds for five seconds then cuts out.
Once it dies I can't turn the volume up only down, and the sound is gone until I power it off/on and it does it again.
Looking at replacing with something that has Android Auto - probably the Pioneer 2300NEX.
I know I have to get one of those control boxes for the steering wheel controls, but I can't find the proper part number that I need.
Hoping one of you might know, I was looking at the PAC ones. The Maestro seems expensive for the same thing.
Hoping it isn't something else in the system that broke - but everything leads to the radio itself.

PAC rp4-ch11 is the one I'm using right now. Works great with no issues other than when I wired it up I didn't read the instructions thoroughly. Missed where it says to wire the front speakers to the rear/rear to the front. Hands-free calling wouldn't work until I did that.
 
I've used PAC controllers in several other vehicles (not JK's) and they all were disappointing. Hard to set up, big time lag in button pushing, etc. I have the Maestro in the JK and it's perfect. I really like having the mute feature too (hold volume down button for a second).

Pionner NEX units are great. I have the 8200.
 
Thanks for the input all - I think I found the correct one on Amazon.
Do you have to wire anything differently if you have the infinity system w/ sub?
I'm assuming the diagram changes a bit due to the amp.

I just did a new upgrade on my radio and will be doing a write-up, but in the mean time here are the following items u need,

Maestro ADS-MRR and the CHRY-01

Maestro SAT1 Cable

Sirius SXV300

Antena Adapter

Head Unit I have a Kenwood DDX9904S

Didn't get the nav unit as this unit that i purchased will use my phones gps or i can hook up an exsternal gps unit and it saves u a bunch of cash.
 
I have used the PAC rp4-ch11 in my Jeep both a Chinese Android Head Unit and a Sony Android Auto unit, works like a champ

Grabbed the RP4-CH11 - thanks for the help everyone. New question - I have the factory Alpine sub/amp. From what I have heard these require a bit of a different wiring method with the front & rear speaker wiring swapped around. Does anyone know/have a write up for this? I surprisingly can't find anything that talks to it online.

1st I just wired it up by color matching. Couldn't get hands free calling to work. I couldn't hear anyone until I reread the instructions and it clearly stated for the factory amp you have to wire the front speakers to the rear speakers and rear to the front. I didn't use a write up but you should have wire diagram with color codes.

Thanks - That's what I was looking for. I heard you wired the rears to front but didn't do anything with the other wire.
That didn't make sense to me.
