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

Should be plug and play

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

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.

You need this interface for the car

and this patch lead for the head unit

Dave, do you do one that does the display as well?

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.

Will try that out later. 

Any other settings?

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

I didn't know that.  Thanks for the info.

Afraid not, but then I`m not charging for my advice either

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
