A few questions

I was wondering if anyone found a way to hook up the steering wheel radio controls (89 GTA) to a aftermarket stereo. Now I'm thinking you would have to get a unit with a wired remote , and find a way to make the wheel controls control the remote. I think it also might be too hard for the effort.

Another quick question. What size speakers are in my car. (sure I could go check) , but im making a post anyway....so

Nate

yeah ... the steering wheel controls can be used with the right HU. Ask a professional installer for more help.

Front: 4x6"

Rear: 6x9"

PAC sells an adapter that will work with any aftermarket deck that has a wireless remote. The interface learns the infared code from the deck's remote and assigns, then reproduces that code every time the corresponding steering wheel button is pushed. It works exactly like a "learning remote" for your tv.

Best Buy sells it for $60.
