I have a 2nd Gen TL-S. I love my audio steering wheel controls. But I do want to replace my HU. I was considering buying the Pioneer AVIC-N1 (or N2). Is there any way I could get that to work with my stock steering wheel controls. Also, what do people think of the Pioneer HU?

Thanks,
Chris

 

Lotta AVIC-N1 and N2 lovers here. (I thend to think of most PI U's as too glitzy for me - I prefer Nakamichi and Denon : )

Check Autotoys for a PAC SWI-X steering wheel control adapter.

 

i got the avic-n1 installed, you get used to not using the steering wheel changer

 

What do you think of your AVIC-N1?

 

You could also get the Pioneer CD-VC1 also. This has a steering wheel mounted remote along with the voice recognition.

 

most car stereo's arnt even capable of interfaceing with the steering wheel controls. think about it, cd changer input, preamp outs, thats pretty much it.

 

That is where the PAC SWI-X that EL suggested comes in. It works with any aftermarket stereo that uses a remote control. I have one in my Honda Pilot working my Eclipse AV-8132. You can program the steering buttons to do any function that the remote will do.

 

do you know the cost. that site is really hard to navigate though and i couldn't find it. thanks

 

I found mine on ebay for like $50. I think they normally go for around $80 or something.

 

what do you put in a search on ebay to find them?

 

I just went to ebay under consumer electronics, car audio and searched for pac. You will find it there. A bunch of them at $47.95
