Steering wheel control buttons
Posted: Sun Dec 29, 2019 8:47 pm
Hi guys,
I need your help for a small project on my MX6. I want to add stereo volume control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, I already have cruise control on the right. The wheel doesn’t have an airbag.
For the buttons I will ideally use another set of cruise control buttons or could use some from a land rover or Rover 25. The buttons are the easy bit.
The difficulty is getting the cables in to the steering wheel. I need to get an extra pair of wires so I can use / make a resistive controller compatible with my pioneer head unit. There are already 3 wires in the wheel.
I’ve seen that on some Probes they have cruise control and stereo controls on the steering wheel, do they have 5 wires going in to the wheel or does it use a resistive circuit with 3 wires for all controls?
Thanks for any help. If anyone has photos of the slip ring or arrangement for getting the wires in to the wheel it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kevin
