New car stereo

[DMR]

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?

You need an ISO connector specific to your car to connect the stereo to the car's wiring and a seperate connector (again specific to your car) for the steering wheel controls.

Go to Halfords and ask them. Had a similar problem with my car years ago and got the kit from there

Attach the stereo to the steering wheel,  hey presto!

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.

As said before get a lead that plugs into the back of the stereo and into the lead coming from your steering wheel.

I did it with my CRV and it was simple - but not cheap as Si said you'll be looking at £30+

I wouldn't use Halfords - google it and buy on line
