fitting ICE systems

hello guys, i have just taken delivery of my first zed whoop whoop! and i promise i will get an intro up with pics soon. although it feels like i've been on here for ages.

 

just a question. the car i bought had ice system fitted. the dealer didnt know much about it and i didnt get to speak with the previous owner. but everything works fine. from what i can see, it's got an Alpine W502R head unit with a reverse camera. it is also fitted with bluetooth for phone and an ipod connect and finally audiobahn sub. the only thing that is missing is that it doesnt hook up onto the steering wheel control. because i'm not too confident on taking apart the interior myself and doing the wires. can anybody advise me where and what places will help me sort out the steering wheel control problem, will halfords do it?

 

thanks alot in advance.

 

Ian

haha true, but i'm very impatient about getting things perfect on the beauty before i take it out on a proper run. just want it the way i like it first. if you understand what i'm saying

you may find that the steering wheel controls were disconnected when the headunit was fitted, as they might not have been directly compatible.

 

but a decent ice specialist should be able to get back most if not all functions.

 

but it may be the fact that the two aren't compatible and that you cna only control it direct from the headunit

Try this ICT 29-001 - Alpine Head Unit Adapter

Price: £4.49 from sextons. As long as your system is a Bose and they used this wiring>http://www.sextonsdirect.co.uk/fitting_accessories/steering_wheel_control_adaptor/ict/p~29-674.html?cat=659

 

thanks for that. i'll definitely have a look, i'm just not confident on taking everything apart myself so would want a professional to do it or someone who knows what they are going. i think it's still using the bose speakers but it has a new sub. will the adaptor still work?

 

cheers
