Exclamation Steering Wheel Interface miracle device for w203! :)

Ok, So you always wanted to get an aftermarket headunit but you were always worried in loosing your steering wheel controls? I think we found the solution!... this is not 100% confirmed but this weekend and the following one we are going to test a "secret" (hehehe, more like prototype) interface for the steering wheel of all w203 (that's though to be confirmed). The test is going to be done in my coupe and hopefully will be successfull... This is an expensive project but I think it was long overdue. I can imagine that if it works several people from here would like to get it but is not in mass production yet. Also, if it works I will start a list of people interested in the device so we can get a discount and priority. So far the unit is planned to be retailed at around ~200, but this is not confirmed.

Unfortunately I can't divulge anything more until I know is going to work. I will keep you guys posted

Someone in Europe made a similar interface for using his telephone buttons on the steering wheel.

W203 slightly modified
The head unit is really critical for other things too .... teleaid, phone, CD changer, BOSE.

If only it was that simple !
