Title: New car stereo Post by: DMR on Friday, January 13, 2012, 11:27:24 Good day friends
I want to out a new stereo in my car, that much I can manage, but want it to work with the steering wheel controls. As far as I can cobble together from Google I need some sort of lead/cable, Has anyone got any experience with this, are they pretty generic or really specific to the car/stereo?

Attach the stereo to the steering wheel, hey presto! Title: Re: New car stereo Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, January 13, 2012, 12:42:14 Piece of piss. Buy the ISO lead specific to your car make and then a patch lead which connects to that and the stereo.
You need to make sure your stereo has a remote control lead socket on the back of the stereo as cheaper ones don't always have them. Looks like a headphones socket. Leads aren't cheap, you're looking at 30 quid all in.

I did it with my CRV and it was simple - but not cheap as Si said you'll be looking at £30+ Go to Halfords and ask them. Had a similar problem with my car years ago and got the kit from there I wouldn't use Halfords - google it and buy on line |
