    Default Hacked steering wheel controls???

    Hi,

    I'm currently installing an in-car pc to my car, and want to retain my steering wheel controls, volume especially. I feel this would be a lot safer than the touchscreen I'm installing...

    Does anyone know how the steering wheel controls actually work? Car is a facelift on a 56 plate, came with CD30, if that makes a difference.

    I assume that they are can-bus or something, anyone heard of any interfaces? All I need is to have a wire for each button. I'd hard wire them to the switches but the steering wheel turns!!!!

    I have no trip-computer so they don't do anything else!

    Any ideas welcome!

    Yes they are CANBus; Parrot has an interface for the steering wheel controls that can be of any use: Multican;
    and there is also the Italian firm Paser that makes all sorts of CANBus interfaces
