Saving the steering wheel controls woohoo

[Hash_man_Se_i]

So, I have been looking at putting either a deck or a changer in my accord, and because I have the steering wheel controls and I want to keep them, I was thinking of an FM modulated changer.. Everyone at the audio places kept telling me $400-500 CDN to wire the remote to the steering wheel controls... :wtf: . So I finally went to this audio place in the other end of town, apparently the good end... and found out that for $130, I can get an adapter to hook up the steering wheel!! Yaay, Finally.

So now I am going to get the alpine CDA-9807 deck, and the adapter as soon as I get paid. Anyone have any input on the deck choice?? I want mp3 playable... and I like how quick the alpines load MP3's and their search feature.

Who makes the adapter? What is it called?

How much you trying to spend on your deck. Pioneer makes a whole line of MP3 players ranging from $169 to $1600 on http://www.sounddomain.com . Ive heard mostly great things about them except the seek time for MP3's but i think that its worth it.

This is what i would get for $389.

Ya, I really like that deck. But here it is like $600, and the alpine I am looking at is like $340.. and I really like the alpine's cuz they load the MP3's so fast, waaay better than my friends JVC.

And i dont have the name of the adapter on hand, but can get it real soon.
