Title: radio controls on steeringwheel.
Post by: big mel on 11 March 2011, 17:42:22
the radio controls on my mig have never worked since i bought it. it has a trafic master button & when i press it it mutes the radio. the radio &cassete is a blauput. i think the last owner must have had a different radio in. any ideas how to get the controls on the s/wheel working would be welcome. thanks in advance. big mel.

Exactly what model stereo do you have?

Is it an original Vx one?

Has any of the wiring been altered ?

remove radio (whatever you have in )  if it is an aftermarket i bet you only have one or two of the three plugs connected, if it is a standard h/u check the plug connections at the rear that they are seated properly  :y

the radio is a double din v/hall standard fit. I can't remove it as I haven't got the tool that does the job. regards Mel.s

You will need to remove the stereo to check the wiring behind it

the radio/cassette is a blaupuct 2003 I think the last owner must have had trafficmaster because there is a button with t/m on it & when I press it' it mutes the radio I am going to halfords to buy the tool to removes the set this w/end & have a look behind it. regardes. Mel.

Never heard of that one.  Possibly cannot accept remote control, thus not working.

yup quite correct i think they were fitted to audi ???, you will need another interface lead that is compatable with the vauxhall steering wheel controls

Don't buy the cheap ones, if they work once it's a miracle, but chances are they'll roger the pins inside the head, then you'll have the most grief trying to get the head out

*cue long thin snap-on screwdriver and hammer  :(

Remove that car 2003 and fit the correct Hu to it then you will find the controls should work. :y
