Title: Stereo
Post by Paulus on Apr 2nd, 2006, 9:20pm
If I upgrade my car stereo to something else, will the steering column controls still adjust the volume etc? I changed the stereo in my old Espace and they stopped working.

no they wont..check with the manufacturer of your new stereo as they often do the adapter kit to link it all up again..i know kenwood sell these on their website....

Go to Halfords(even if you don't intend to buy from there) - they sell the harness adaptors you'll need, and  they do adaptors with the interface to suit the Ford column remote.  You then just buy a patch lead to connect the interface to your chosen brand of stereo.

Total cost for harness adaptor (Ford>ISO), inc. remote interface and patch lead is about £35.  You'll then need to add the cost of the head unit itself, but check it will accept a wired remote as those at the lower end of the price spectrum often don't!

Darren, friendly bit of advice, please amend your post to read "halfords" only.

no doubt it was in jest, but, needs to be amended! link refers to "ford", but its about  what a site can be done for in court mate!

Okay, point taken.  More a force of habit than deliberate but I'll try to be more careful...  :-[
