FAQ - Car Audio

Which steering wheel remote control and display driver adapter do I need for my car stereo?

Available adapter types (dependant on car brand and manufacturing year):
- Infrared steering wheel remote control adapters (only if the headunit is infrared-ready).
- Hard-wired steering wheel remote control adapters (only if the headunit has this input).
(Most normal functions will be able to be used but car model specific features like voice activation and bluetooth radio control will not work with Pioneer radios. The functionality of the stalk control will be limited by the functionality of the radio. Most interfaces will have following possibilities:
Volume UP/Down, TRACK/ STATION UP/DOWN, RADIO ON/OFF, SCAN UP/DOWN, FFW/REW.)
- Car display driver adapters (= hard-wired adapter + display controller).

For all these adapters, please click on the car accessories list.

Through IP-bus you cannot connect an adapter to the original steering wheel control.

Open the 'DEH reference list' to check the available options (Remote Control Ready, Hardwired or SubDisplay) of the Head Unit.


In case of problems:
- Check the instructions on the installation sheet (available on the Instruction manual link)
- Disconnect the car battery before installing the adapter
- Reset the Head Unit
- Reset the car computer (by car dealer)
- Last option: replace the adapter
