hey everyone, does anyone know where i can get a converter to still be able to use the volume controls on the steering wheel while using an after market H/U, my bro recently got one for his 2007 Rav-4 i have a 2008 Lancer GTS (america), VR-X (australia)

thanx to anyone that can help.

 

go to any local car audio shop. they have interfaces depending on what brand radio you have. they will run you about 100 bucks for the part, and w/e labor is at the shop, or you can do it yourself. good luck

also, try http://peripheralelectronics.com/ to get a head start looking for modules that fit your needs.

 

thanx for that, really helped :P

 

I have tried a couple of different shops to get that adapter installed for my Avic-D3, and so far none of the shops have been able to splice it correctly into the steering wheel controls of the 08 GTS. I even got a printout from PAC for the wiring and the shop I took that too said the diagram was wrong... I haven't tried again since. Did you have any luck anywhere?

 

you are very welcome! glad I could be of service! haha

i actually havent had one installed, but yes looking at the online instructions, the connector they tell you to use seems like the wrong one. maybe its because i havent actually looked at the secondary stock radio connector, but im not sure. im not even sure if i want to retain the steering wheel controls because i have gotten used to (again) not using the steering wheel controls lol

 

i like to keep my car clean and have everything working, and coz my bros rav-4 has the steering controls with his alpine H/U i really wouldnt mind doing the same.... can some one please send me the instructions link via pm or just post it here?

No. You dont need any any connector. Mine worked just by connecting to only to wires. It is wire number 22 and wire number 32. The blue wire (22) is positive and the black wire (32) is negative.

Connect the the positive wire (the one to control the volume and BT of the stereo) of the of the stereo to the positive wire of the of the connector (22). Leave the negative terminal(of the stereo volume remote control) . Then ground the wire of the connector (32) to the chassis.

This shall work. I will post a video of this on youtube. Let me know how it work. Cheers
