At best they only have a pink parking brake cable there.
This one for instance, it has 7010B on it, so should work with the steering controls, no? Even if the cable isn't present as it stands, but the pinout diagram doesn't mention the SWC either:

Oh, and do I want the red, blue or yellow bullets for this? |
I've not looked at these units for sometime now, a quick search seems to show the prices have increased, and some features have been taken away. Seems only the newer GPS models now have the SWC, and the basic 7010B/7012B models have been flagged as entry level units.
A similar thing happened last year when some units being purchased had different firmware versions, the newer models didn't have the car manufacture logo option.
Its not uncommon for the manufacturing factory to make changes to a product during the build, either product improvements are made, or cost cutting is introduced. Its more beneficial for the manufacture to reduce build costs, this normally happens when certain boards/chips become more expensive, or become discontinued making the factories change suppliers regarding certain components.
I would imagine some sellers may have the earlier 7010B model units that have the SWC, might be worth sending some emails and asking the question.
I have found these ones below...
This one has SWC and comes with a rear camera.
7021B model that has the SWC and comes with a reaview camera, priced at £51.99.
