What do I need and how do I connect the steering wheel radio controls to my Alpine head unit?

Helfrods sell a black box interface unit and a head unit specific patch lead...
Autoleads iirc, need the Omega specific box plus the Alpine specific patch lead :y
Should be plug and play :y
Egay stuff like this tends not to work, so better off actually buying from a shop... could try Dave DND here for it, as he knows his onions, so will be able to supply you with exactly what you need :y

Forgot to say that the head unit is an Alpine CDA-9854R and I'm also using the Alpine CHA-S634 cd changer.
Thanks Al. :y

You need this interface for the car

and this patch lead for the head unit
http://www.dndservices.co.uk/pc99-alp.html
and its a simple plug and play :y

Is there any forum discount?
Thanks

Not done them yet. I now its very tight. I had a job to lock the Alpine in properly with the normal cabling as well..
I will post to let you know but it won't be any time soon. I have to catch up with the gardening (grass, hedges etc) first. Spent to much time working on the car that everything in the garden has gotten out of hand.

I've got an Alpine 9854R in my 2.2, I did not bother with the display adaptor, just steering wheel controls.
Put Bass on +2, and the standard speakers sound great. :y

No that's all I do, I find on standard bass it's a bit flat. I'm not into tunes in a big way, just lifts it nicely for CD/Radio. Remember the setting has to be done in all modes CD/Aux/Radio :(

Shame, as often people (me included) have reccomended you here. So getting work from here at no cost and not offering anything back to the community. Ahh well. Guess there is a profit to be had :-X

I thought that help and advice on here was free due to the good nature of the members on here....On each occasion i have asked for help it was given freely and received with many thanks. ???

It is. However dave promptes his company here, most members in fact 99% of them are not here to make money but save.
Considering Dave gets a lot of custom through forums. Be nice if he appreciated that.
Allgermanparts for example offer us a discount as we recommend them :y

I am with Entwood on this... have required Daves input on a few matters, and any help has been freely and promptly given, including one occasion right before Christmas a couple of years ago :-[
No fuss, no drama, simply sound and knowledgeable input :y

As others have suggested, I believe that Dave DND gives a lot to our members in help and advice.
Yes, he owns a business that is there to make money, but I think the highlighted part is very unfair on somebody who has taken the time to post 4000 times, always in a helpful manner.

Yes, especially when you consider that Dave makes very few frivolous posts on here, so those 4000 posts are pretty much 100% useful advice. :y

Ok, maybe I'm alone in those thoughts. :)

Thank you for those who have given kind words of support for my 4000 posts of technical support (http://www.dndservices.co.uk/smiley/bow.gif)
To the others, Please bear in mind that I am not, never have been and never will be a fan of the Omega - I make no secret of that.
Can`t stand em. (http://www.dndservices.co.uk/smiley/grin1.gif)
So my presence on here, and the other 130+ forums I am on, is purely to assist you where I can, giving my time for free with some technical advice in the hope that some of you may fund my business in return by sending some repairs and decodes to me.
Make no mistake, I am here for the money, pure and simple,
and I will continue you to help you guys keep your old cars on the road for as long as I can

Tunnie - I think you typed before you thought.

Not at all - A balanced forum requires input from everybody, and I respect his opinion whether it be positive or negative. :y
Does that mean I can now ignore him then? (http://www.dndservices.co.uk/smiley/grin1.gif)
Only kidding :-*

I should have phrased it better, my apologies Dave. :y
