Default interface with steering wheel controls questions

ok well my question is the"pac swi-x steering wheel radio control interace" that is offered on club gp.com. i saw that it operates with infrared remotes in a certain frequency range and was wondering if anyone has succesfully coupled this with one of the new alpine head units out because some friends of mine have those and i really like them but also love my controls. any input would be great

Just Duct Tape the Remote to the Steering Wheel. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

The Website for the company that makes the PAC audio adapters is www.go2pac.com Go on their website and just e-mail Tech support with your question but make sure you already have an aftermarket CD player picked out so they can make sure it's compatible.

BTW: Welcome to the forum

some alpines will work with out infared, if they say it on the alpine stereo, soundgate makes a piece that hardwires the controls, the infared ones are hard to get to work because there is no where clean to mount the eye that picks up the signal

I have the SWI-x with an Alpine 7949 and no problems. You should have no problems either.
