Steering wheel controls

[Lachlan2104]

Hey guys. I have the original stereo and i would like to up guard, possibly to a stereo/gps.. Will most of them work with the original buttons in the steering wheel? Recommendations on good units? And where can i find a tray for the back of 2003 commodore ute? Oh and best place to buy rims?

Depends on how much you want to spend, you can get cheap ebay units with built in steering wheel control. I bought a more expensive Eclipse unit which also has built in steeling wheel control which only required one wire to work.

that's right , only the double din on ebay you will find have the gps built in , unless you go with pioneer which are over a 1000 bucks and need extras too , u can get eonon brands which are around mid range and have steering wheel control , but don't go for to cheap units.

What about single din with a screen? Or one of the Sony xPlod units with smartphone link ability?

Hmm?

well u can but I find the single screen is a pain as when its out it covers part of your controls on the dash unless you put it at the bottom and fit a pocket at the top, and sony are crap and far as I know you can't use the remotes on the steering wheel which his after with that unit , also what if ya phone out of range and then your smart phone not going to work hmm ,
you can get units with the apps for gps , and yes you can get units with steering wheel capabilities but u have to buy add on's. every one to them shelf.

to the op, most brand name headunits require a steering wheel controller inferface.

plus a small adapter to the particular unit.

purcasing one of these will simplify the installatiopn of the headunit aswell.
