mikec Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Does the horn work? The steering wheel buttons get power via the horn circuit so that's Step #1 in the fix.The steering wheel buttons end up going to the small squarish 8-pin connector on the back of the head unit.Look for black+white (BW), blue+white (LW), yellow+white (YW) wires... these go between the steering wheel buttons and the 8-pin connector. A green+white (GW) wire also goes from that connector to the green+white wire on the main connector. 8-pin connector pinout:YW-XX-GW-LWXX-XX-BW-XX XX are missing/empty pins. The connector shell has plastic ribs on the top, above the YW and LW wires.See page 8-236 of the factory service manual for the head unit wiring. mike c.

ucw458 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 The steering wheel controls don't work with aftermarket radios unless it comes with a remote. Even then you need an IR adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
