Default Is there a CD player that works with dash controls

I was looking for a CD player that works with the dash controls. Does anybody know of one? I'd hate to lose this function if I upgraded my tunes.

While there are no head units (other than Honda's) that will work right out of the box, it is possible to use the dash controls w/ most head units that utilize a wireless remote control via the SWI PAC-X box.

Most reputable installer shops can procure and install them for you. We have a member on the board, Pinky, who will also sell you a pre-wired configuration if you desire.

For Sony head units w/ wired remotes, there is also a solution that was devised by one of our members. I suggest you do a search in the Electronics forum. I believe it was S2KGuy but I could be wrong.

Good luck.

Thanks for the tip. I was hoping for something a little less complicated but I guess that's our only choice. I wonder if that device will even fit behind the CD player?? hmmm... I may not want to mess with it. Anyways thanks again........

I am using one and there is plenty of room. If you go to the website referenced you will find exact schmatics for the S2000. Or as I said, you can save yourself the trouble and ask if your install shop will do it for you. It's only as hard/difficult as you choose to make it.

Hola.

I had the Alpine 7878 installed with the SWI-X switch as well. Works like a champ.

I should say, I had it installed, down at NOW Audio/Video.

Cheers,
