Steering wheel controls and top dash display 03 172

[beatjunkie]

Ok well in the 172 ive got loads of leads from a nokia phone kit doesnt fit my phone so its out, but the steering wheel controls now dont work as the wires went to that aswell sooo...

has anyone got any pics of the upper dash display workin with a alpine headunit?

and what leads did you use?

Cheers Ryan

Ryan, the nokia kit was connected via an autoleads cable/amplifier arrangement. Just unplug the ISO box at each end, which will then leave you 2 ISO blocks, one attached to the car, one attached to the back of the alpine, plug them together, job done. ( I fitted it myself, no wire cutting at all.....plug and play) Steering wheel controls nothing to do with the car kit wiring.

Oh, and upper dash display doesnt work with the alpine, although I have heard other people have alpine displayed on it, but no moving lcd display is available(not that you need it)

when i was doing it, it got dark and couldnt see what i was doing so ive left it for now will have another look in day light!, on saturday it got the cleaning of its life!6hours on the body work washed twice/clay bar/ waxed and sealed!

stereo is very good just need to find an external harddrive or buy another ipod because keep moving the 80gig ones becoming annoying!

The older alpine adapters don't allow the head-up display to come on at all. The newer versions are able to display ALPINE. Still do the same job

Hope this helps

Did the pause function and the scroll-wheel work ok with the Alpine?
