For those of you wanting to get the steering controls working in a VX/VY after installing a new head unit.
The product you need is a CAT-08 made by Stinger Australia. JB HIFI can order it in (about $130). It works by converting the steering control signal into an IR signal(Same as what your remote uses).
The literature it comes with claims it can mimic the IR signals from the following remote controls.
Alpine RUE-4185
Clarion RCB130 & RCB161
JVC RM-RK50
Kenwood RC410 & RCDV100
Panasonic YEFX992663
Pioneer CXB8743 & CDSR80
Sony RMX115
I can confirm it also works with the JVC RM-RK230 remote - Comes with the JVC KD-AVX1 3" LCD Headunit.
Installation is simple for a VX. On the back of the factory HU plug there is a brown wire (in one of the corners of the plug). This brown wire is the signal wire from the steering controls. Connect it and the ACC and GND off the factory plug to the CAT-08. The little LED that emits the IR signal can be mounted in the interior light above the centre console.
REMEMBER to remove the positive off the battery before you start playing.
The CAT-08 literature (read as single A4 page) also claims to work with VS/VT Barina XC FORD AU1/2/3.
