Thread: After-market head-units compatible with steering-wheel controls

Patrick, if yours looks like this pic of mine, then it will have a Clarion radio, not Alpine. I don't know of any radios compatible with the Clarion's steering wheel controls (but am happy to hear otherwise).



Not only that, but interfacing a new head unit to the door amps on that model is (or was) problematical. I have done it by modifying a commercial kit that was supposed to work but didn't. See http://www.rangerovers.net/forum/7-r...e-again-3.html

All p38s had the same steering wheel control resistances, so if it works on bosch it'll work on gems etc. Yes some alpine and clarion units are programmable in terms of steering wheel controls, but even the older units (I've got an old eclipse) There are units available that'll act as a patch, but they're pricey.

I've got some after-market rubbish head-unit, so the controls don't currently work.

I'm hoping to find any kind of head-unit that will work with them. I'm not particularly brand-loyal, I just want it all to work nicely.

What about something like this:

That looks like what I'm after, thank you!

Interesting.

I might need it. My aftermarket head unit failed whilst I was at Scouse's today. Possibly on refitting of the battery leads.

Looks like there are a few options and some different leads depending upon your model

Are you blaming me?
