    steering wheel stereo controls

    I have recently installed the stereo controls on the steering wheel of my 99 discovery 2,
    I took it to autobarn to have a new head unit installed and get the controls working.
    After a full day I have no new headunit as they reckon the D2 can take a floating display single din because of the weight and the way it needs to be mounted and they said they couldnt get a signal from the controls (no ohms) they said it could be the clock spring is faulty

    Has any one else done this? is there anything I need to do with the bcu ? something anything???

    After recently installing an ebay android head unit I still have use of the steering wheel controls.
    The head unit I purchased had 2 steering wheel control cables labelled “key1” and “key2” on the harness.

    I used the “key1” wire and took it straight to one of the steering wheel control cables on the factory harness, there are 2, so choose either one.. I don’t believe it matters which one you choose.

    For the other factory steering wheel cable that you didn’t connect to, take that cable straight to ground.

    That should give you working steering wheel controls.
    The head unit will have to have a function to program the steering wheel controls, as it reads the measured resistance when a button is pressed and sets it to what key you select it to be on the head unit.

    Hope that helps in some way!

    what I am concerned with is the fact I never originally had the steering wheel controls and have now connected them is there anything I had to turn on for them to be ready to work or as soon as I plug them in are they ready and need the head unit
