rbodor3 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I want to get a DIN2 that will allow me to keep using my steering wheel controls (volume, forward/back), do all of them do this or...? Complete noob at the audio thing. :monkey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb5 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Are you looking for a double DIN sized headunit that will work with your steering wheel controls? Or do you need a harness to connect your steering wheel controls to an existing aftermarket headunit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.klimas Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Both these head units are great. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HW6F7Y/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HW6F7E/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001PAECYE&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1TREQJN0PHR01PY9CKDJ <----- I have this one. To retain the steering wheel controls you need one of these http://www.amazon.com/Metra-ASWC-Universal-Steering-Interface/dp/B0039H2W66/ref=pd_cp_e_4 Depending on the year of your Volvo install could be a snap. Any Volvo 2002 and up, Metra has a mounting bracket. I have a 2000 and I had to jerry rig a bracket. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.klimas Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I personally have not used the steering wheel control adapter, but it has gotten good reviews across the board. My friend recently redid his 2005 s60r with a pioneer head unit and the kit work pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbodor3 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 as an update if this ever comes up again, i ended up going with a USA SPEC unit instead of getting a new headunit. ATM, the headunit for me was more $/work than what I really wanted it for especially when I weighed out the other upgrades I was looking at in the car in the same price range.
