fleetwoodguy79 Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Ok so my CD player crapped out... went looking for a new one (non-factory), and the guy told me that the cd players out there don't support the steering wheel radio controls. Ok so that pisses me off, i LOVE those controls! But he said that they make an adapter for it that is $160!!!! Man I don't want to pay that much just to get my steering wheel controls working again, anyone know of any other solutions to get this thing to work?? Its just a wiring harness right?? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 A stereo shop in town here has the adaptor for $55.00. You can get them on clubgp for around $60-$65. Tell that guy to stick it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor77 Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 you can have the cd player refurbished. The cost is around $200. That is less than the price of buying a new one and the remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 I thought these aftermarket deals spliced into the steering wheel controls and sent that information to an infrared eye that had to be placed in front of the CD player... so what I gathered from it, it just acts like a remote control.... correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

Guest Anonymous Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 They only work on head units that currently have a remote. There are no sensors with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92Cutlass4Dr Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 It's called the PESWIX and it's made by Peripherals. Expect to pay $50-60. I wouldn't bother refurbishing the deck, for $200 you can get a deck with more features. Right now a lot of good deals are out on 2002 decks because they are being replaced right now with new models.

toastemcutlass Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 have the same prob. the thing that makes me mad is that the heat controls go through that to. I got the wiring diagram and the way they do it is really mest. when you hit one botton it gives the radio a certain resistance like 1000k and then you hit another botton and get 3000k resistance, from what I could tell all of the bottons are on one wire and they just use the dif. resistance, and the radio has something that makes sense of it all for the radio and the heat controls.

toastemcutlass Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 my solution I hope to do is take the wheel apart(disconect the airbag first) then insert those little buttons that they put in all sorts of things like radio receivers and other thing. then run the wires to the radio and heat control, take both apart and hook the buttons inline.
