IllogicalCpt Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hi Everyone, I decided to upgrade my head unit to an android unit and I'm having a few issues... the main sticking point is over the steering wheel controls, I just cannot get them working the unit seems to be plug and play but they just won't work... this is the one I got... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0914R959X?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share went for it due to the 4gb of ram, came with a canbus box and it does recognise when I put the car in reverse as it tries to show the reverse camera so there is some comms going on but just cannot figure out why I can't program the steering wheel controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 The steering wheel controls are not related to the CANbus network at all. The steering wheel controls are a simple 2-wire resistance circuit (every button has a different resistance). On the original setup the steering wheel control is connected to the FCDIM (display). On the aftermarket Android radio harness there must be a connector that connects the steering wheel control wires at the FCDIM connector to the radio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllogicalCpt Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Well I sorted it in the end, I managed to get into the back end config and found the canbus setting was misconfigured I changed the canbus manufacturer for the one actually on the box itself and it sprang into life, now getting door information, temperature and the steering wheel controls are working... jobs a good'n 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
