does the steering wheel controls still work with aftermarket head units?
im looking at an alpine unit that says its OEM remote ready.

can anyone who has anyone changed there head unit help?
 
There is an adapter you can get to go with it.

What headunit are you looking at and i will get the part number for you. ;)
 
the head unit is an alpine cde-9871rr and its replacing the alana hope that helps
 
Aye very good. :lol:

Always been an Airdrie fan myself though. :redface: (now is where i get slated)
 
I had a look at this as am considering changing my head unit but from the looks of the website link they say you need a vehicle interface lead and a stereo patch lead. Any ideas if the existing one will do and you just get the head unit manufacturers patch lead or if you do need both parts?

:no: The Mk4 Ibiza isn't CANBUS though, but anything based upon the current MK5 Golf platform is.

if it doesn't use the canbus system, why do you need to buy a canbus adaptor as per the one mentioned above in order for the steering wheel controlls to work??? Why have i also been told to get a canbus 2-1 upgrade alarm for my new ibiza???

Can't see it listed here?

But then again they are talking about diagnostics, but I would imagine if there were CANBUS components in there, they'd go through some kind of CANBUS to K-Line interface box? :shrug:
 
i got a steerin wheel controll adapter for mine but heaven knows how to fit it still sat in my garage ... everything goes together ok but there is one wire thats says "to headunit" and i have no idea were that cable goes! and No it is not a can bus system at all not even the alarm! as i had a cat1 clifford fitted to my last car thats now sat in my garage lol if anybody wants it?
 
how much u looking for the alarm mate??? the wire that goes to the headunit, should go into the headunit's wired remote socket if it has one. I know my old sony headunit had a socket for a wired remote to be attatched.
 
i brought it for 1k with a tracker also its a G5 one any sensible offers really... obviously you'll need a clifford wirein diagram to fit it etc... only had it fitted for about a month! when u post 4 more times pm me for more details... or add me on msn.... :)
 
about to order this for my Balkupunt Woodstock 54 head unit.

what are the two orange leads for though? :shrug:
 
mattyb95 thats exactly what you need that and the patch lead wich costs £5.just fitted the same thing and it works a treat.
 
From what I gather a patch lead is a lead to connect a stereo specific connections into the generic stalk adaptor connections, so you will have Sony, Alpine, Blaupunkt etc patch leads to fit into the generic connections
