steering wheel remote?

jj_jonathon · 04-22-2003, 09:48 PM

i know many aftermarket receivers out there have the option of a hansfree remote that attaches to your steering wheel...i was wondering if theres one out there that does the same thing but works on a stock headunit? i have yet to find one...its the one thing i love about the chevys...my brother's car has all the buttons built into his steering wheel...

Sorry, I searched quite a bit, but I couldn't find anything. You could always upgrade to a aftermarket head unit, the stocker sucks a nut anyway.

While I can't say there are aftermarket head units with built in 6 dish CD changers (that I know of). However there are many headunits that can play just as many, probaly more, songs than your 6 disk stocker. Welcome to the wonderful world for CD/MP3 players, you can put roughly 175-200 songs on a single CD. I had a JVC SH-707 CD/MP3 player in my LX and I loved it. The songs are stored in folders on the disk, you scroll up and down through folders (metal, rock, classic rock, techo, etc) and then left and right for the song you wanna hear. Also there are some head units with actual harddrives that can store up to 10 gigs of songs. Not to mention a burner, you can borrow a CD from a friend, burn the disk onto you harddrive then give it back to him, all within 10 minutes.

CD/MP3 players are reativly cheap as car audio goes, the units with hardrives are more pricey.

i had a portable one before people knew what they were...lol...first generation mp3cd player....only worked for about 6months...lol...but theyre a pain in the *** IMO...i feel like i waste a cd when i dont burn 150 songs to one..lol...the harddrives are neat...chris was trying to play up the ipod at rhc...i dont think its functionality would suite me...i hate navigating 3500 mp3s with 4 arrow keys...lol...

i dont know why people dont like the new mach460 unit...the pre-2000 models were ugly and such, but these 00+ ones are nice IMO....i wouldnt wanna switch it out til it broke...and even then i think id replace it with an lcd screen...heh...

Personally, I hate all the Mach systems.

What about this? It modifies your cruise control buttons to allow you to use them to control your Mach 460
