Steering Wheel Control And After Market Head Unit

[MY ROD GOT OUT]

Hey everyone, I have a jvc head unit installed in the lower part of the icc, Just wondering if it can be hooked to the steering wheel controls for volume etc?? Anyone done it before?? Car is a bf 06 with standard icc head unit is a jvc kdr905.

Cheers

I think some after market head units can, how though I'm unsure.

I didnt want to lose that feature either but I was told by Northfield when I got my Alpine installed that it costs about $250 for the part needed to get it working. So not worth it imo

There is a product available. I bought one for y old AU for $150, granted that was cost price as a mate works for JB. I never ended up hooking it up so its still in its box, will prob sell it shortly

How does the connection work?? Does it just convert head unit adapter so it accepts the steering wheel controls? sell it to me??

Yea selling it to you should be fine. Basically there is a wire from your steering wheel you have to tap into, and then either use the I/R led positioned somewhere pointing at your headunit, or depending on model it can just plug straight into the little box thingo

I got my local audio guys installed a CAT10 with my Alpine. There is another aftermarket unit which is a bit cheaper (can't remember the name though)

PAC unit reads the values of the input from the wheel control and forwards the selection. To the aftermarket radio. Can't remember the web site at the moment. Google it should find it
