Steering wheel controls on Chinese DVD/radio

[tknick]

I purchased the following in-dash dvd/gps/radio. HERE The radio says it has steering wheel controls. When looking at the directions for the radio and looking at the setup screen on the radio it says it must learn the steering wheel controls similar to the way the PAC kits for ipods and aftermarket radios do. The radio has just two wires labeled for hook up to the steering wheel controls. Anyone know what the correct wires are coming from the factory wiring harness?

I used a Metra pigtail to connect the blue factory speaker/power/etc to the radio and it works great. There was another blue plug I didn't use and I'm pretty sure it is for the factory CD changer (which I am no longer using). There was also a grey plug with that had 2 rows with about 10 spaces in each row. There were only two wires in the grey plug all the way to the right in the top right and bottom right spots when looking at the plug from the rear where the wires go into it. I tried checking them with my DVOM and couldn't get any current reading when pressing the steering wheel controls.

On a side not, the Metra dash kit doesn't fit the radio bezel. I'm gonna have to do a true custom job for that. Not looking forward to that

Any help would be greatly appreciated

pin 3 (green/red) from the honda factory connector is your steering wheel control.


Steering Wheel Interface Vehicle Instruction Guide



keep in mind these programming/wiring instructions are for the PAC only. but the green/red SHOULD be what you need to hook into. i followed the above link 100% and my PAC works great.

Thanks for the help. I'll give a try hopefully this weekend and let you know how it turns out.
