Steering wheel converters, looking for beta testers.

[michaelw]

I have finished the IR design so I no longer need beta testers for that.

I now am looking for someone(s) to test my steering wheel to PC interface



Hi all,

I have finished my circuit for my steering wheel to IR converter. I would like to know if anyone is keen to test it out for me. Currently is for JVC (remote control RM-RK50) and for VT/VX or VY/VZ.

I have tested it on my car (VX with a JVC head unit).

The instructions are pretty basic so I would suggest that you have a good idea of installing stereo's before you begin and bear in mind that this is a beta only. However it will only cost $35 which covers the parts and postage.

If you have a different (IR remote controlled headunit) and are interested drop me a line and we might be able to work something out.

When it is up and running I'll offer it here for about $75 which, like the aldl cables be cheaper than what I'll sell it for on ebay. I am not interested in making this open source because all that will happen is that someone else will copy the circuit and sell it for more in a pretty package.

This being a beta unit I can't offer much by way of a guarantee, for all I know it might explode and take out half your suburb, but they will be tested on my workbench before hand.

I would but i have a Kenwood Headunit. Would like some steering wheel controls though.

I'll have a look man, have an eclipse unit in my vz but ill be able to modify the circuit no problems. Send over the schematic and I'll build it when i can.
Cheers.

If you could make one for a pioneer head unit i'd be definitely willing to test it for you.

No worries. I'll get onto that and PM you when it is done.

Hey,

I will be getting a JVC headunit from a mate shortly.

I would be very interested in one of your interfaces!

Are you still looking for testers?

Let me know if you are!

ive got a pioneer dvd unit i can beta test for it if you ever make one

I'll be happy to test one if you ever make one for a Kenwood head unit....

I have the pioneer code almost done and kenwood should not pose any problems. I am off to the mines for the next two weeks so I won't be able to do much. When I get back I'll have the Pioneer and Kenwood ones sorted.

Statey but if you are after one for a VR like your profile I am afraid I can't help yet. The VR/VS controls are different to the VT->VZ units and need a different design.

I can test alpine when/if you make one. IN a VZ.
