steering wheels controls???

just bought a new lower end gps 7" double din I assume my sterring wheel controls wont work with it right?
what do i need to do to make them functional again?

 

you need to make sure the double din has that function.... whats the brand and model of the double din.

 

Most major brand double dins will have remote control input. You will need a PAC SWI module. If you bought a cheapy like a valor. youre probably SOL>

 

So by having the pac swi module it wires into factory wiring to allow for the steering wheel controls to work or..........

 

Yes, but not on all models and/or manufactures of head units.

In general, if the head unit has a jack/plug on the back for a remote, the PAC modual will probably work, you just need to buy the right one.

 

does this look like it has it

 

nope.. ur out of luck.. post up the manufacture and the model tho.. ill research it.

 

not sure the manufcture but heres the link its just an ebay cheapie

Since that headunit has an infrared remote; you might be able to use the PAC SWI-X. It basically splices into the steering wheel controls, then a little IR transmitter, which you have to mount somewhere so it can "see" the headunit, will replicate the remote control signals to do the desired commands.
