Steering wheel control IR sensor broken, can I get a new one?
 

That little blue IR sensor thing above the radio on my 2002 ZT has a broken wire, I can't solder the wire back on as it is broken too close to the part.

Can I get another one from somewhere? It would be mad to change the entire radio loom for this little piece.

Thanks

You could bypass the IR to get the steering wheel controls to work. Have a look here

You will need a kit from somewhere like www.autoleads.co.uk

Ok, so does what kit I need to buy depend on what head unit I have?
Or does one kit work with all head units?

For now I have the standard Kenwood KRC 391 cassette with 6 disc cd changer.
However I will be upgrading to a newer Kenwood KDC BT43U which apparantly still works with the cd changer and IR steering wheel control (if I got the IR part working that is).

I'm sure a breaker will have the relevant IRED for you ;)

The KDC-BT43U doesn't have the din plug output for the six disc changer and it was for this reason when I upgraded from my KRC-394 I chose a KDC-W4544...... the disc changer functionality was more important to me than bluetooth, as I already had a Parrot handsfree fitted.

It also works with the original IR sensor, and looks quite OEM :cool:

Ok if I forget about the 6 disc cd changer, do you know what wiring kit I would need for a Kenwood KDC-BT43U to bypass the IRED sensor?
