my RS 2.0 TC dosent come in till march, and the cd player in my current car took a dump, and im looking at the alpine CDA-9847 or CDA-9851 as a replacement for now and switchin it out to the tc when it comes in... can i still use teh steering wheel controls with the alpine HU and control my IPOD with them too thru the alpine AI-NET in the tc when i comes in??? i havent found any adapters from PIE that i could find...

 

nah you cant

 

damn that sucks... how come you can do it with other cars???

 

Posting And You...

 

WTF is that???

 

thats a reason why i dont know if i want a different cd player, cuz the freaking controls on the steering wheel are a convience.....my own personal opinion

 

Where are you looking for adaptors again. I need to buy one? web site please....... for pioneer decks and the 06 steering wheel controls?

 

thats exactly what im asking, i know convertor boxes exist for other cars, but i cant find anything that works for the TC. i dont know if the car is just too new or what? there has to be a way to remap the buttons to work with an aftermarket head unit.

 

I read a thread before about an aftermarket adapter that allows you to keep the steering wheel control. It had something to do with PAC. http://www.pac-audio.com/

take a look at that, it tells you which brand it works with too

 

actually i think none of them say that they work for the tC (or any Scion). but in the thread above people have been able to use that one listed in the thread and the '05 camry instructions

 

yea, i heard the wires are similar tho.
even a camry navi hu works in our cars

 

Eclipse AVN 2494 with no mod

I remember you from this thread https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...hlight=eclipse

 

thanks for the link, it looks like the SWI-X or the SWI-ALP will work for the TC... the SWI-ALP would be the convertor of choice with the alpine CDA-9851. no line of sight needed, and everything hidden...

 

does the iPod connector still work as well?
and the link has it as a 2454 is that the same as the 2494?

thanks

 

Yup. This is why our menu upgrades are Eclipse units.

 

if the iPod connector work on the stock h/u, it'll work on the Eclipse. They both made for Toyota. Not sure though, cuz I don't have the iPod.


sorry, my bad, AVN 2454, there's no 2494, typo :D
