Steering wheel controls.. CAN-Bus?

[NickyJam]

OH St! what happened there mate?

I'm glad the stalk adaptor works, now to buy the Pioneer equivalent...the only difference on them all is the connection goin into the head units. Can't believe they make out something simple to be complicated, just confusing people. Many thanks Mr Dave

Animal in road, whole front end took a bit of a bashing, but hey ho!

Can't wait to have it back on the road now though, stuck in a 1.4 TDCi Fiesta at the minute.. Which actually genuinely scares me!

 

[NickyJam]

Lucky i live in London, not many big animals to run into

I remember when some guy went into the side of my old Ibiza 1.4, i was stuck with a Hyundai Getz 1.3i, now that thing was leathal! no grip, used to wobble when anything passed me lol

 

[Mr_Dave]

Pretty much the same story, although in fairness the Fiesta seems to handle quite well, just that you fall out of the seats in any bend going haha.. Above 65 though.. The body can't take it, it feels dire! Trying to convince her to get a MK3 Cupra.. She only does 2k miles a year after all.. ha!

 

[NickyJam]

oooo thats a good offer, don't think she'll refuse

Bought the adaptor hopefully receive it in 2 days...it better work lol

Me too, altho not sure when i'm gonna get a chance to find out... think the mrs is starting to get annoyed at being 2nd to the car (sometimes!) lol

 

[Mr_Dave]

Sure if mine and frenchy's are working that yours will, but let us know! Getting well excited as my engine may run later on tonight now too

 

[bertrum]

Expecting my adapter today or tomorrow at the latest. Put my HU in last night, jesus space is tight back there - couldn't get the cubby tray back in! Might have to swap them around.

 

[NickyJam]

i should be receiving my stalk adapter today...everything has fitted ok in mine but my mate did extend the wires leading from the harness adapter to the hu

 

[bertrum]

Might have to give that a go eventually! I can see the Glove Box etc coming out tonight to allow more light in to see what I'm doing!

 

[NickyJam]

YES!

Finally have my steering controls hehe thanks for the initial info guys otherwise I would have been waiting for years

i'm well chuffed now, getting my LCR front splitter wednesday, beef my baby up a bit

 

[bertrum]

Mine work too! Didn't need to extend anything either - just fiddle and push them in!
Picked up my splitter on friday, haven't got it on yet, need more screws!

nice to hear I'm not the only one moiving in the right direction

PM me when you fix the splitter on so I can know how challenging the operation will be...just so we don't move off the original subject of this thread

 

[mhill]

so where what and how much was it in the end?

follow the link posted in one of the first threads. The adapters are from CAD

Guys do the leads from car audio direct definately work for the facelifted ibiza FR (mine is an 08)?

I have checked the ones I have ordered and sent back as they didnt fit, and they are the same part numbers.

I also checked halfords and they told me they dont make them yet

I'll reserve judgement for a couple of days....just ordered those parts to fit my HU so will fit them as soon as they're throught the door and get back on here!!!

 

[Mr_Dave]

Glad they worked NickyJam/bertrum.

Do we reckon it's worth asking an admin to move to FAQs/Sticky? I've seen threads like this with no answers quite often before.

Thanks for the info frenchy, you're a lifesaver.

My car is back on the road now, feels so good to have the Alpine back =D
