Wiring gurus need help with steering wheel!
As some of you know I put a carPC in my C.
Well I hate the flip out screen and one thing I want to do is mold in the screen but I want to get my steering wheel volume buttons to work first so I don’t have to touch the screen for volume. I have found a USB keyboard that I can take apart and use just the volume buttons pluged into the pc via usb, which are momentary switchs.
All I need is to tap into the momentary volume buttons on the steering wheel. I hope the connections are not optical. Can anyone help me locate the wires? I will pull it apart on my own but I always try to find out as much info as I can first. I would think they would be in the stock harness of my radio but i did not see any listing on the diagram I found. Thanks

Yeah I just found that out that sucks I really wanted to get that to work. I think I read somewhere that one of the major stereo manufactures had an adapter though but cant find it the thread, I think it was a European model though. Thanks for the input though!

Yeah I used the metra kit I made a thread about it when I found it. It looks really good but I wish it was double din but the pocket is nice for storage.

Opus 12v to 12v power supply
200 gig hard drive
512 mb memory
WinTV FM TV card
Netgear wireless card
Laptop Slot load DVD burner and usb hub in the glove box
Anything else you want to know just ask!
