I recently upgraded my old pioneer sph da-110 to a sph-da120 and was blown away by it. My one main issue with it was the touchscreen volume and skip buttons.
I've always thought it'd be nice to rig up some kind of steering controls, so I came up with this;
An auto leads product designed for a peugeot 206 called pc99-213 isa steering control interface that instead of re-using the existing wiring has a complete look that plugs directly into the 'stalk' so here's the project from start to finish...
So first I located a used peugeot206 steering control stalk & a pc99-213 with pioneer patch lead
Then I had to mount the stalk to the column, I wanted to locate it on the lower section but it would be in the way of inserting the key, so it had to be mounted on the upper, just behind the indicator stalk.
Clearance behind it was limited so it needed cutting down slightly & mounted.
The stalk adaptor only needed ignition and earth to function, so I cut the rest of it away and wired to the existing stereo wiring & plugged in the swc lead.
I also took advantage of having the interior plastics off and gave them a refresh is high gloss black.
