anybody know if there's a way for the stereo controls on the steering wheel to be used with an aftermarket stereo on a 3rd gen?
the car's an '89 by the way.

i did it on my '00 trans am, well actually someone else did. i had to make sure the new stereo had a remote. they hooked up some infra red sensor and kinda made the steering wheel into a remote control.

i read in the faq that this wasn't possible, but there's got to be a way right?

if you look around, you can find it cheaper then Crutchfield

 

hey thanks!

any ideas what that won't work with?
i'm not sure what head unit to get right now. i need one that plays dvd's, has two video ouputs, and is inexpensive. i know i'm not going to find anything for $100, but hopefully i can find something under $500.

i also want to put in some new kicker panels for the 6 1/2 with tweeters from crutchfield. the Q-logic ones i think.
what's a good amp or set up to use for the 2 4x6's in front, the 2 6x9's under the sail panels, and possibly new 6 1/2 and tweeters (crossover)?
i can run the 4x6 off the deck but what amp will run the other 4? a 4 channel i imagine! also, i need a deck with an amp output that's not only going to put out bass. i had a pioneer double din deck and it only put out bass. it sounded really weird with the 6x9's!

 

i was also thinking about putting in a sub, a 12" would be fine.

what would be a nice set up run the 4x6's in front, 6 1/2's in the kickers, 6x9 in the sails, and a sub in the compartment?

 

The aftermarket HU must have an IR remote.
What do you want to use it with?
