Advice on retaining steering wheel controls w/ HU

Hello folks,

I was getting ready to purchase a SWI-X interface from PAC
http://www.pac-audio.com/products/swi.htm for about $80 when I came across something that looks the same but costs $9 from a company called Peripheral Electronics http://peripheralelectronics.com/2002/steering.asp

Can someone tell me if this is one of those things that you get what you pay for or is this the same thing for less? I want to be able to use not only the radio controls but the trip computer as well.

This will go in a 2003 Maxima.

Thanks,

Mike

If you can get them for $9 then go for it, it's the same thing (I have a 02 3.5 SE altima w/ PAC that I installed so I know what I am talking about).
