Anyone with a 2k2 and aftermarket stereo?

I just put a Pioneer premier deck in my 2k2 and I figured that I'd loose the steering wheel controls for the radio, but I lost my tripometer controls too. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix for it?

There are several. One is to buy the PAC SWI-X. Another is to rip some board out of the stereo and ground a few of the wires.

Crutchfield. It's an adapter. As for the trip comp, you can make it work w/o the adapter.

How can I make it work without the adapter, (just the trip) I have a complete wire color chart for the audio controls, but how do I make them work?

Your saying all I have to do to make the trip meter work is ground the brown wire with the white strip, and the trip meter will work??

matt, that's pretty much it. the only time you'd need the adapter mentioned above is if you still want the steering wheel mounted controls to work.

p.s. if you do decide on the adapter, you can actually program it to a point of customization. (e.g. Press a button to turn on your headunit, press it twice to turn it off... etc)
