Steering wheel control help

[Glenpring]

Hi all new here I have just taken an after market CD player out of my 2003 clio and I can't find where the steering wheel control plug plugs in to can anyone help here is a pic of the plug and the back on the original CD player

I think it attaches to one of the others. Can't be that hard to figure out, theres only a few sockets there.

So you have taken an aftermarket out and now want to put the factory stereo back in?

If its an aftermarket you have taken out and the steering wheel controls were working with it, then that connector in the picture looks like part of the stalk adapter patch lead that plugs into a black box you buy separately. Like this (connectors highlighted):



If thats the case then take the whole patch lead loom out that was added and discard it. You wont need it for standard stereo.

I can't find the hole the black plug goes in to I have an iPod cable going in to the blue slot and the yellow plug you can see is for the display. There are no empty holes for the black plug for the steering wheel control unless I'm missing something here?

After market radio is out original radio is in iPod cable in the blue plug and no empty hole for steering wheel control?

Can that black plug be traced back to anything like the loom illustrated?

 

[Glenpring]

the plug goes back to the loom bundled in with all the rest of the radio cables if you get me?

That black plug doesnt look like factory connector and needs coming out to my knowledge. All the plugs (3) That you have connected to the factory stereo are all that are needed for it to work properly

yer im seeing what your saying but cant see anything on that list about steering wheel control just cant undrstand where this plug has come from it seems to go to the steering wheel controls.

CCU(*) Connector (C1 on the diagram) = Central Communication Unit. This is the way the HU receives stalk control commands and sends information to the dash display.

maybe that plug goes i the back of the clock then??

 

[jimmyuk86]

no..i think your misunderstanding. That plug that you have left over is not factory standard. If your returning it back to factory then i suggest you trace the connector back and try to remove it.

I'm looking at fitting a new head unit soon and was wondering if you can get a steering control adapter for most makes of head units? Cheers
