I have an 06 Z and it has the steering wheel controls for the radio and i was wondering if i get an aftermarket radio is there a way i can keep the steering wheel controls working? or should i just keep it the way it is.

 

I remember seeing a thread about this awhile back and I believe their is a adapter you can use (but I am not sure). Maybe someone will chime in with the name of the company that makes the adapter because I would like to get one also for my pathfinder.

 

why the hell would would you want to put in an aftermarket radio, the car is an o6 it should still be under warranty. Just take it back down there and have them fix it. Otherwise don't mess with it, if it isn't broken.

 

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? You need to re-read his post.

OP, here's what you need: http://www.mp3car.com/store/product_...roducts_id=150

 

Don't mind UBER, no one else does. If you use the ignore list you cannot even see what he types except when people quote him.

Thanks for the info by the way.

 

UBER are you f***ing retarded or do you just act retarded?

 

Hey man I volunteer with the Special Olympics. I don't think UBER is good enough to be grouped in with the mentally challenged/Physically disabled people I work with.

 

if ya buy one and have it installed at an authorized dealer they should be able to tell ya what you need and what to buy to keep your controls.

 

The answer to your questions is yes. PAC is the company that makes the adaptors. The most universal is the SWI-X, but there are specific models for some radio brands. Go to www.pac-audio.com, that will answer which one you need.

 

thanks for the information guys. as far as uber goes just because something is working doesnt mean its good enough.

 

My Local Installer had an custom interface box made up, this one is Wired and works with my Alpine Head unit ( I believe the PAC uses an infrared transmitter )

PAC makes specific adaptors for various brands of head units. Your installer simply used a SWI-ALP which is made for Alpine and told you he had a custom one made. I hope he did not charge you extra.

 

Im afraid we dont get PAC over the pond, so they had to make do with a little box of tricks, there was no programming either just wired it into the loom for the Audio controls and off it went,

Cost me £50 !
