hey fellow s2k owners... been wanting to replace the head unit.... but was wondering if theres a way to still keep the audio controls on the left side of the dash.... please inform......

 

Do a search for Lucid's DCI or DJ Cubes Unit.

 

there are several solutions out there...

the PAC SW-X something or other... not your best option, as there are programming issues, usage delays, and possible install problems. but, can be had cheap used.

some European Alpine heads can work with a specially designed interface... unless you want to buy a European head and lose radio reception, this isn't a good idea.

Lucid sells a DCI (Dash Controls Interface) that Modifry makes... it is limited to a variety of major brands... there is also a hardwire version specifically for some Sony headunits... Modifry's DCI adds functions to the dash controls...

and DJ Qube has a solution that adapts your headunit's remote to work with a modified version of your current dash controls, and it also adds additional functions to the factory controls...

 

thanks guys
