louich Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 Is there a way to hook up the steering wheel controls from my 92 olds to an aftermaket stereo, my cd player died...but i like using the steering wheel controls Quote
GPdriver1986 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 I don't have steering wheel controls on my gp but i know that there is an adaptor you can buy to make them work. I was also thinking a while back just incase i get a car with controls on how to make them work. My idea was this, since my deck came with a remote control , I would take it apart and solder wires from the remote to the stock controls. I'm not sure if this will work but its worth a shot. Quote

GutlessSupreme Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 This needs to go in the FAQ. (As if any noobs read it anyway, but you know..) Quote
Andrew Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 if the aftermarket stereo has a remote, there's a product that plugs into your harness from your steering controls, then you point basically a small remote at your stereo. most people mount "the remote" on the side of their console. my local car electronics shop has these for about $80. i know this is gay but if you have no other choice....

TheCutlassGuru Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 i have the pac swi-x in the link above and i hooked it up and it works great. a little pricey but i got mine for christmas from my brother. i would do some research, im sure you could find one for cheaper. it works great, too, by the way.

louich Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Posted January 4, 2005 PAC SWI-X works for me! so do you have to mount the deck remote in your car somewhere then aiming at the stereo with this one?? Quote
TheCutlassGuru Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 no the PAC control box has a lead with a infrared transmitter on the end. you have to mount that somewhere so that it points at your deck. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 haha I just got in the mood and bought one! http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32815&item=5741772135&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Quote
