Does anyone know if you can use the factory steering wheel CD player controls if you install an aftermarket HU? I know mine works because its a factory Alpine... But i was wondering about a different HU...

 

as far as i hear now, it doesnt work, a few have tried and it didnt work. its something to do with the auxilary power. if someone can figure it out, props! i prolly could i just havent had the chance to try it out yet. if you were close to me here, i would definetly give it a shot, doesnt sound that hard

 

do a couple searches but I think the only one that anyone has has any luck with is an eclipse HU.

 

gimme a shout if you wanna get rid of the alpine HU..

 

Do a search for a PAC remote control interface. There are even units out there designed to be universal RF with input programability.

 

pac-audio.com once thereyou will need to find the SWIX it is the model for the universal, there are other models that can be direct plug in to radios with hard wire remote inputs so check to see if thay make one for your radio. there are other interface companys makeing remote interfaces but pacs is the best by far take my word for this tried the all.
