Yes, the included steering wheel control harness specifically retains the Bluetooth button functionality. When paired with a compatible head unit, you'll maintain hands-free calling control directly from your steering wheel buttons.

Does this work with factory reverse cameras?

Reverse camera retention is not specified for this fascia kit. Compatibility depends on your specific head unit choice and whether your PX Ranger was equipped with a factory camera. Contact us for guidance on camera retention for your Ranger configuration.
