Steering wheel remote
Hello, everyone,
I have got a ALFA 156, it is in 03 Reg, I am planning to upgrade the CD player to a mp3 player (any make, it does not mind), but I still want to keep the steering wheel remote function, has anyone done it before? can you let me know what mp3 player you used? and where did you find the remote adapter? Thanks a lot in advance. Regards, Tiger |

It took the Ice man about 10 mins to change it. I can't comment about the steering wheel controls as the car never had them. BTW you can get a 10 MD boot auto-changer if that helps. Good luck.

The steering wheel controls don't work - you need an adapter (not just wires) and I couldn't find one anywhere and no one here could find one either! I think the original head unit was a blaupunkt (156 turismo with Bose). |

Thanks a lot for the reply from GT and Pete, The car had got a 10 CD changer before I bought it, but sometimes it is really annoying to change the CDs now and then, so I am planning to replace it with a after market mp3 player, After googling high and low, I found that if we want to keep the steering control function, we need to buy a stalk control adapter and something elese, I found the cheapest one from lowcostcaraudio, they have got a lot of adapters for different make of mp3, provided the head unit comes with remote control function. Thanks again. |
