I'll ask Rob. As far as I know, the answer is YES.

If you look at their GM/Chrysler "Remote 1" you will see that it has TWO outputs for the steering wheel information to the head. One is a 3.5 mm plug and the other is an IR LED.

Here is their page:

Here is my picture of their box (along with the Alpine KCE-865B:



I think the Soundgate Remote-for-the-S2000 will connect via hardwire to a few radios with a 3.5 mm dash remote lead (right now just the IVA-C800 in the USA market) and will connect via IR link for others. The difference between Soundgate's solution and PAC's solution, as far as I can see, is that Soundgate learns which car it is to program by dipswitches inside and the PAC unit learns via programming with the dash controls and your IR remote.

I might be wrong. I'll ask Rob, Soundgate's owner. He did tell me they will be supporting Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer and Clarion.

does anyone know if the alpine cda-7990 F1 status radio has the 3.5 mm connection? thanks

 

here's a diagram from the instructions of the alpine cda-7990, is that the input for the remote controller?

 

It is impossible to tell from that picture... There it lookes like the same recepticle as the antenna one. What you are looking for... looks exactly like a 1/8" stereo headphone socket. If you really want a 7990 or any other high-end unit, a good understanding Alpine dealer will let you see the back of one of them...

Don't forget: you still need to find a KCE-865B from Europe. I had an extra one on order for 4 months before I gave up and asked for a refund. You would have a much greater chance of finding a 7990 at your local dealer than getting an 865B from Europe...

 

i just checked out the cda-7990 today, and it does have the plug!!!!! however, i'm not sure how i'm going to get that adapter now, does anyone have one for sale? or does anyone know of a place i can order from that will ship in less that 3 months? like in a week?

 

bshigeta, this thread will answer all your questions except whether or not the KCE-865B will work with the CDA-7990.

thanks for the info, i have one being shipped right now from r. hawkins

 

How did you organise to pay for it? I have emailed R. Hawkins and apparently he won't send goods overseas with credit card payment. Did you transfer funds/get a bank cheque(check)

 

paid with a credit card, hmmm, i know for awhile that he wasn't shipping the adapters overseas cause people were having problems installing them, maybe that's why, i had to convince him that i was going to get it to work with a certain alpine head unit, otherwise i paid that way

 

I read on an old post of your regarding deciding on a 7876 or 7878. I was wondering because I have the 7876 in my car and would like to learn how you have hooked your dash controls to the head unit.

Thanks in advance,
