Head unit, steering wheel control problem

[WizudOfOz Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close WizudOfOz]

Hi Guys

Couldn't find any other posts relating to this so here goes!

Bought:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/7-Toyota-...item3f1bcbcd32
and fitted it OK to my 10/2008 120GXL. Plug & Play as advertised.

But...I have a problem with the steering wheel controls trying to 'learn' the >>| button (the ^ on the steering wheel pad).

I'm unsure how other aftermarket head units work (maybe the following numbers don't mean anything) but on this one I enter the steering wheel learning mode & the first button is the Mode button which registers "16" when I press it. The next button is >>| and in pressing the ^ button on the wheel it goes straight back to the Mode command.

I've established that the ^ button also generates a "16" code, the same as the Mode button. All other buttons work fine. It appears that the Mode button and the ^ button on the steering wheel are outputting the same command, causing obvious confusion to the head unit.

I can't see that it is an issue with the head unit as it should record whatever button is pressed & I can't work out why the Mode & ^ buttons are sending the same signal. The Toyota standard head unit worked fine.

Does anyone have any similar experiences with other aftermarket head units or know of a fix?

Cheers

Craig

Sorry can't remember exactly why but I had a similar issue with my Polaris unit,
the way it described to set it up in the manual just didn't work for a similar reason
to what your saying but I did get round it somehow.

Sorry not much help but there is a way and hopefully someone who has set on up recently
can remember

Cheers

There is another thread about the same units where someone had the same issue. If you try reposting the question there you may get a quicker response.

I have one of their 6.2" units and have had no dramas.

if you haven't sorted it already, there is a "mode" selection which changes the numbers to a different register.. the buttons should all have different numbers then..
