Making steering wheel controls work without adaptor.

No steering wheel control adapter? No problem, here I tech you how to get your original steering wheel controls working on your shiny new stereo system without paying thoa costly prices for an adapter to make it all work, the model I'm using is a Ford focus mk1 (2004) but I imagine trying a combination it should all work the same way no matter what car or stereo your using, in this video I'm using a pumpkin stereo from amazon and I didn't want to pay the hefty price for a new box to sit in the back just to turn my volume up and down from the steering wheel. Any questions feel free to ask. Thanks for watching

Wow....good Job. Have the same Problem with my Renault Kadjar. Which PINS i have to connect ? How i can find out wiihich PINS ? Thx

[@sevkibicen8377]

Hi man, so ground we taking from main connector right and using one of the cable(key 1 or key 2) to connect to OEM swc input. But in which case we gonna use both of the cables? My car has total 6 buttons 3 on each side of the steering wheel. In this case should I connect key 1 and key 2 to the same input?

[@onr77]

thanks man

How does one find these wires? Im trying to get wires ready in my 04 Cadillac SRX for a double din swap and i DIY'd the rest of the wiring, im not stoping now, i have only 1 steering wheel control wire coming to the factory unit, would there be a 2nd one i need to tap into or would the wire on the stereo harness itself work for me at all? Any information is helpful, this car has been a nightmare

[@dipakgupta9208]

I too have column mounted Steering control in my car like yours. It is connected to geen+brown and yelloy+brown wires. Can you please tell me which one of these i need to connect to key 1 and key 2? Any harm in doing trial and error ?

[@luiscorreia887]

This will work, is the same to ford mondeo mk3 from 2003? Or do I need 1 autoleads adapter unit? Best wishes, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@zoltanlazar3445]

Hi, I would like to know this answer too. Any news here?

I install a dual DV271BT to 2014 subaru forester.. The head unit has built in swc interface...the harness has Swc1 (brown) swc2 (brown black ...where do I connect it to

You need to follow the video, I belive you only need to use swc1 but I maybe wrong with that

Hi, I have a wire from the back of my Kenwood that says 'steering wheel controls', not key 1 or key 2. Do you think it would still work?

Yes mate some are labelled that way but it's all the same thing, I have seen this before to

Hi mate, just had a very similar install on my wife's clio, she's got the 10 inch junsun head unit, the guy couldn't get the steering wheel controls, any chance you could possibly help me via email or something if I get the stereo out and take some pics etc.. I would be extremely grateful.

[@cassandraespinoza952]

I was so excited to do this! But I realized that I might short circuit a lot of things in the car. Possibly the whole electrical system can be fried. Can anyone reassure me that it won’t so I can proceed with my Toyota Tacoma 2011 base.

[@jonathandale5350]

This will not fry anything In Your car all you are doing by doing this is bypassing the need for an expensive plug, think of it this way, if it blows then the worst thing to happen is a blown fuse, just disconnect it and replace the fuse :)

[@jonathandale5350]

Also, I emailed you back :)

[@GARAGESXERO]

Could just add an inline fuse just incase

Hi dear friend, do ya think it applies for pioneer also

Yes it will work for any stereo

[@SerenoOunce]

It's both radio and vehicle model specific. More modern cars have the controls going through the CAN bus, for those a module and custom harness will be required.
