Head unit that works with steering wheel

[chillcupra]

I have had a good search and I cant find much. Basicaly I want to change the alana unit for something better. I currently have a jvc axv2 but this wont work with the steering wheel controls. Does anyone no a way round this or can recommend a HU that works with the steering wheel.

Thanks

you need an adapter from the steering wheel to the radio, youd be best off calling a car audio place to see if they make one for your specific car, i had a look for myself in the beginning but there were so many different ones and types for different versions of systems that i didnt bother, and they were for VWs which the man said would work, but it wasnt his £50 on the line if it didnt

I checked this with a few audio shops that said there is nothing out at the mo with an adaptor so u can use the steering wheel controls

Hi

I have the new Ibiza DAB and it has stearing wheel controls. The radio that comes with that is a Blaubunkt not the standard head unit.

Controls on the wheel work fine with this

Hope this helps

Eh, this is where I am not too technical. It has cd changer in, aux in. and it has output for a sub etc, not sure what else, great sound though. I had an ibiza before this one with the standard head, and the blaubunkt is far better

It may depend on the exact age of your car:

Thanks for your replys. It turns out the car doesnt come with the steering controls. Turns out it was a late build before they changed the specs.
