CAn I get an Aftermarket Headunit that works with the Steering wheel controls???

 

Search Sony makes and adaptor for certain units, alpine too. I'll see if I' have the link to the SONY adaptor list.

mikeythemini in the UK has extensive experience in this area. See http://www.mini2.com/forum/interior-...blaupunkt.html
He sells adapters at newministuff.com. He is also a NAM member but mostly he is on MINI2.

 

You can use a PAC SWI interface to retain your steering wheel controls.

 

Yes...Crutchfield.com has them. I have an pioneer HU that uses my steering wheel controls.

 

Huh?

 

Here's a link to Crutchfield's site with the SWI device:

Thanks that helps out a lot!

 

I have the Alpine 9857 with the PAC SWI-ALP that works quite well. Great Head unit.... I'm using it to drive the 4 door speakers and rear 6x9s. Accompanied by a small sub and amp concealed in the boot..... Sound is HEAD AND SHOULDERS above the Harmon Kardon that I pulled out to install it.

Good luck with a fun project!
