All of you guys with alpine head units, how do you have your stock controls hooked up to it? Any troubles?

 

Stock controls??

 

well i cant call em steering wheel controls, as they are not on the steering wheel...but you know what im talking about

 

Chances are that they're a databus (or similar) wire, which will no longer function without the stock deck.

However, an adapter like the PAC SWI-X might return them to working order...

^^^ Or that...

Both do the same job...

 

peripheral has a line of deck specific steering wheel interfaces that are a lot easier to deal with than the swix.

Though the swix is a peripheral product it is a repeater needing a remote eye mounted. They work awsome, just needs a little more install and placement
