(clarion, Sony, Alpine, Kenwood, Vdo Etc.. )

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 !

Hi there.

You sound like the one to help.

I have a Galaxy 1996 Ghia

I have changed the old ford 5000 radio to a nice new kemwood one.

 

All is ok with the sound etc (took time but got it going)

 

My problem is with the stalk.

I have a stalk adapter but where the connections go I do not know.

What I do know...

There is a yellow connector coming from the stalk with 5 wires

There is a blue wire from the unit Marked remote

The brown wire from the adapter is now connnected to the blue wire Marke remote.

 

This is where I am stuck

There are 2 blue wires from the adapter (with little pin ends)

Where do they go????

 

Or

How do I get this thiing working as the wife is complaining "it used to work when the old radio was in"

 

Help!!!!!!!!

Hi Davey62,

My post was speaking about Galaxy 2 (2002-2006).

Ford Galaxy 1 (1996-2002) there are many adapter to maintain stalk controls with brand new headunits.

I heard and have looked that you have to connect directly behind steering control buttons, there are a 6 pins square connector, where you have to plug adapter.

First you must disasemble plastic parts behind the wheel (not on the wheel)

 

Don't you get installation manual with the adapter ???

Type & search on google Ford galaxy adapter .pdf

you will find some manuals that show where is the connector...

 

In case you do not find the way, please keep your wife in the car for remote vocal control headunit.

 

Good luck
