Default Steering wheel remote problem

My last ZT had the infra-red sensor for the remote, and I had a connector to sort it all out.
My new ZT hasn't.
The two wires from the remote terminate in one of three blocks behind the radio aperture.
Anyone know what I need to link it all together?

Mick

It depends what type of radio you have fitted.

Have a read of this.

Hi Dave

The head unit is a JVC.
The remote is hard wired into one of a triple block which at the moment is not needed for all the other functions. All I need is a similar unit to the one I had for the infra-red remote.

To get a JVC head unit to work with the steering wheel controls you are going to need an interface.

Incartec and other companies make and sell them.

I presume your first ZT had a Kenwood head unit, that is why your infea red system worked.

Hi Dave

No, I'm using the same JVC head unit as in the other car. Only difference is the last one was IR and this one is hard wired. I have the interface from the old car, but it only had one wire from the remote.
Now I have the choice of 2, so assume I need a different interface?

I think this is the correct interface. You will also need a JVC patch lead.

Choose JVC in the drop down box.

The steering wheel control wires are blue/orange and blue/purple.

Hi Mick I had exactly the same a couple of weeks ago . I was advised to get the
pc99-x39 with the relevant patch lead for the particular make of head unit fitted which in your case I can only guess would be PC99-JVC .

Have a look here
