steering wheel radio controls?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well....on my gf's newly acquired black on black 95 Grand Prix GTP 8) I am planning on getting her a CD player and I don't know if that would screw up the radio controls on the steering wheel or not. We really like them and would want to keep them in service if it's possible with a new CD player.

 

I am not an audio savvy person so I don't know anything about installing a CD player and wiring, so any advice would be appreciated.

 

I have a friend who can install it so I don't have to pay an assload at Best Buy :lol:

thanks Broan

 

Gutless...I did a search and nothing useful came up. I'm not going to search through pages of posts that mention the word 'radio' or 'CD player.' I might as well just ask the question and get an answer right away. I know how to use the search function.

thanks guys. Hopefully I can reason with my gf and maybe I won't have to buy one since they're kinda pricey... :?

Hmm, they are a bit pricey. I think I've broken my tape deck in my Cutlass. I tried using one of those FM Transmitters to play tunes from my iPod, but it doesn't work too well. The only thing holding me back from just getting a CD player with an aux. in is the buttons on the steering wheel.

they are well worth it in order to keep the controls functional....

True, true. It would suck to have the buttons be there but not do anything, and therefore it's pretty much necessary if one plans to upgrade the stereo.

i never used the steering wheel buttons on my Cutlass...then again, they only worked half the time :(

ClubGP store used to have the SWI-X for a few bucks cheaper.

That's where I got mine.
