ALPINE HEADUNIT while using steering wheel controls

[Gareth]

Can you fit an Alpine head unit and retain the wheel controls? Would it be compatible with the hi fi sub/ amp etc?

[willsy]

Yes, but you will need to order the stalk control leads, speak to halfords or somewhere like that.

Hi, I`m new here but I have the same problem.

Just today I found out how it works.

You need a interface for the steering wheel control and a interface for your reverse sensors ( if you have these)

The total price (in Holland) is €280, I`m only going to bey the interface for the reverse sensors, the radio is in a good position to operate it while driving I think

I will properly introduce me in newby`s

i would guess it would be the same adapters required for the rest of the citroen models? have a look on the connects2 website and see. http://www.connects2.co.uk/c2search....=136&manID=206

Today ordered the adapter for a alpine head unit.

This adapter is for the steering wheel control and parking sensors. I hope it works!

[Gareth]

Can you get some pics up when its in? Will it work with the USB next to the handbrake?

[Gareth]

Will the bluetooth still work and the USB socket?

[j-wvb]

I don`t think so, the usb socket and bluetooth are part of the original radio.

My alpine radio has already a usb conection wich i`m going to make in my glove box.

When the adapter com's in i will post some pictures.

So do you have bluetooth in your car? I really want to put CDE-9880R into my car, but I dont want to loose the Bluetooth. Moving the USB to the glovebox will be better as it wont clutter up the center console.

[j-wvb]

I have precisely the same radio, the orange lighting is perfect for the DS3, and the green lighting was perfect for my last car (xsara VTS)

I have no bluetooth in the DS3. I went for the stock radio because I wanted to change it anyways.

[Gareth]

Bum. Its not worth it for me to do. It would mean I would have to buy the separate bluetooth, and steering wheel control adapter. To many £'s!

[j-wvb]

I have my adapter. everything works, parking sensors, steering wheel control. And with some double functions I can also use the display and customize all the settings.

[Gareth]

That looks soo good!! I'm very jelous!
