Default Continental headunit harness?

Found a few threads regarding the Continental headunit but couldn’t find a clear answer.

does anyone know if there’s a pnp harness available that would retain the adjacent to steering wheel controls?

Check out these adapters from Crutchfield:

If you have questions, Crutchfield has support available online...

Thanks for the input.

I did chat with Crutchfield, they recommended this adapter-

They also added that the stereo must have a 3.5mm steering wheel control or wired remote control input, and that since they don’t sell that headunit they can’t guarantee it’ll work.

ah, you're right, I was looking for a 3.5mm jack.
Found this post on a Mercedes forum with the following:
The SWRC steering wheel resistive controls use resistive values that I could not get working. I tried both a Metra Axxess and a PAC SWI-CP5 — both of these could register CAN Hi / Lo button presses from my steering wheel and could control an aftermarket Alpine HU, but could not control the Continental.
There are various other Reddit etc posts with people trying to get the SWRC to work, but in a quick scan didn't see anyone doing it successfully.
A Norwegian dealer who sells this headunit as well as installation kits for Porsche says
The Continental SWRC-interface is not compatible with any known car models, and does not support modern CAN-bus or other systems.
I'm guessing someone with a headunit to play with and the proper knowledge (i.e. Modifry) and could make an adapter, but he's out of that business

I was reading through this thread before, too advanced for me. Guess I’ll have to find a different head unit

thanks everyone for the input!
