Clarion, Sony, Alpine Etc... In Galaxy

[mawashi77]

Hi,

I get a 2004 Ford galaxy with 6000N (CD) factory headunit and steering wheel controls.

Because i replace it for an aftermarket Clarion i have lost steering wheel controls.

I was busy to find a solution for an interface to get steering wheel controls again.

But i did not found it.

It seems there is no interface for my Galaxy from any brand (Clarion, Sony, Alpine etc...)

Let me know if solution existing !!!!

 

That's why i made it myself.

I have done an interface to keep stering wheel controls.

This take Data from stering wheel controls via yellow connector (ACP bus) and send infra-red codes to equipments.

This is powerfull !

In that way i just now control :

-VDO Dayton Headunit (Clarion)

-Clarion DVD system

-VDO Nav system !!!!

3 systems control with 5 buttons (=15 fonctions)

Changing system control is easy by Holding 1" MOD button.

 

If somebody looking for a solution like this, i am able to modify the program for :

-Intregrate anybrand IR codes (Clarion, Sony, Alpine, Kenwood, VDO etc.. )

-Intregrate up to 5 system controls. (ex : Audio - Video - Navigation )

-Define fonction for each button.

 

I'm sur that some Galaxy owner's are in same case.

Post me a message if you want more infos !

Perhaps someone of you ever replaced the factory headunit and got it to work.

steve67 is the best person to ask as he runs a business doing stuff like this, his details are in the business and commerce section, or you could pm/email him through his profile.
