I'm gonna rip this stock stuff OUT!

My new o4 S has the H/K single disc with the mini amp in the left side of the boot. i ordered a DICE unit for ipod use but missed the fine print about no playlists on the o4 head unit. Does not work too hot...

I want to go focals all around with this new killer looking alpine, but I am worried about the steering wheel control, seems like a special seperate box is needed. The new Alpine also can have a bluetooth unit too.

any advice on replacing the head w/aftermarket and still using steering wheel buttons?

Mahalo!

they should have some modules that you can buy to adapt the steering controls for an alpine head unit. I think that P.A.C. Makes an adaptor for it. Look it up at crutchfield.com and then look elsewhere for prices

Bluetooth can be added to the head unit but can be a little expensive
