Aftermarket Radio & Steering Wheels Access
Hey guys,
Just bought my '09 Rally Art GTS and I have a Pioneer DEH-X6500BT from my old OZ Rally. Its brand new and I want to put it in the GTS since it has the original OEM stereo in it.
Head unit Info: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130X650...6500bt&tp=5684
Anyway I am getting the replacement plastic dash cover etc but what I can't find is the converter that will allow me to use the Media and Phone buttons on my steering wheel. I contacted Crutchfield and they said they haven't had those converters for a while. Does anyone know where to get one and link me?
Also looking to gave a definitive answer on what size speakers I can replace the OEM speakers with.
Thanks for your help!

use Metra AXXESS SWI to get the buttons to work.
If the head unit BT worked in the old car - it will with Lancer.
Alpine components (SPS-610C) fit the front doors and i used Pyle PLG64 subs for the rear doors.
The heart of the speaker issue is that the OEM pskrs are '3 hole' mounted in a triangular hole.
The Alpines have a multiple brakets and holes (looks like a swiss cheese
) frame adapters.
For the rears i cut up the OEM spkr frame and bolted the new speaker to the frame and then installed the speaker/frame assy in the OEM holes.
Watch your depths - the fronts are pretty shallow and people have made spacers to get the speakers to fit...

I did find this for the Steering wheel controls. Is that the right one?
