Xtrons Steering Wheel Controls

[cusm]

Been playing about with my Xtrons TD716g. and found out how to get the steering controls to work without the SWI-X adaptor.

3 wires RED GREY and BLACK

Black wire to Blue/Purple
Grey wire to Blue/Orange
and
Red wire, you just tape it up.

I'm so happy to have the Steering wheel controls working.

Hope that helps anyone else.

Nice one! How did you manage it? I know of a certain person on here that wrecked at least one of these units by connecting those wires up by trial and error and getting it wrong. What does that enable you to control (other than volume I guess!)?

I done a search on Google and somehow managed to come across the solution on the Mazda forum. So I tried it and it worked.

What it controls :
1. Volume
2. Next and Previous on CD's
3. Radio tune
4. Mode ( switching to other things eg. DVD, NAV, TV, IPOD)

Gonna try and see if I can get phone controls working, just spent all day refitting the thing, so I'm to tight fisted to but the BMW Bezel lol.


Please read the rules about the use obscene language

https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/faq.php

2. You may not use obscene language within the forums. These forums use a swear filter that will delete words contained within its list and notify the moderators if it has to step in to edit your post. It works by replacing the offending word with a series of asterisks. However, we have a lot of children that read the forums, generally with a parent or the slightly older ones on their own. Parents can have some difficulty in explaining what all the *** words are and more so those that are typed in e.g. t**t. In light of this and our determination to ensure these forums are suitable for any age group to view, you must also not attempt to evade the swear filter by any means including:



2.1 using special characters to blank out part of the word
2.2 using spaces between letters
2.3 adding offensive terms inside other words
2.4 misspelling the word
2.5 using a language other than English for an offensive word or term

>>>>>>>out with the screw driver.
This I have to try, I'll be back.

Wonder if trebor will be tempted to toy with it, I am sure his steering wheel controls work, think he has some adaptor though.

If this works it should go in the useful info sticky.

Shame on you for such language

Hang my head in shame

Sorry for the language didn't realise.

Did you manage to sort out the memory loss problems on your unit, because mine is doing the same.
