Has anyone experienced an issue with the steering wheel radio remote, sometimes it works and other times it does nothing?

 

My steering wheel controls are finicky.. I find they often will not work well when the car is very cold.. they will usually work if I keep pushing them though. Not sure if it's a loose connection or if I just need to replace the controls..

 

What a pain, since I'm used to using this

 

They are fairly cheap to replace... Just call Dave B for pricing.

 

same problem...sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't... but I wish there was a way to re-wire it but I dont feel like takin it apart and figuring it out

 

Who is Dave B? And how do i contact....

 

Anyone have any Ideas on the issue.

same here, I'm just to lazy to mess with it. around how much would it cost to replace?

 

I just got a 01 maxima, it has a problem with the remote seeming like there is a short in it. Luckily it is still under warranty and I am taking it to the dealer on Monday to get replaced.

 

eh.. i just reinstalled my stock bose headunit today... sent the alpine cda-9855 in for repairs... my steering wheel controls still work .. knocks on wood.. but they tend to cut out if i take a sharp turn... but who would be messing with their radio while taking precision sharp turns? hehe

 

does the steering wheel controls work with aftermarket HU?

 

With this, yes.

So if you replace the unit w/ the buttons on it... No more issues?

 

ABSOLUTELY the SWI-x uses the IR receiver if your Aftermarket HU is equipped

or you if u have a aftermarket headunit with a "Wired" remote control input.. u can buy the SWI-xxx version for that.. like the swi-alp. which is for alpine.. imo wired is better. u wouldnt have to run that infared/led wire out into your cabin aiming at the HU..

 

yea tell me about it..i got the SWI-PS for the sony, and pioneer HU's. I have a sony HU BTW
