Autoleads steering apapter + Alpine H/U

[Scott_NW]

I've got all the right bits (Autoleads PC99-X06 *PC99X06 - Vauxhall Multistalk Adaptor +
Autoleads PC99-ALP *PC99ALP - Multi Stalk Patch Lead) and connected it all up correctly but still nothing from the wheel controls.

Does something have to be enabled on the HU for it to work?

Cheers :)

Mine didn't work either mate, mine was all plugged in correctly etc.
I know it's no help to you but thought i would let you know your not alone lol :thumbs:

[Scott_NW]

ah bugger

best trry and get a refund then

[Scott_NW]

which model h/u do you have mate (if it is an apline)

sending autoleads an email about this problem

[A16X]

Alpine 9855 matey.
I'm going to return mine too.

[DaveP]

With the above 2 adaptors mine works fine, what reg is yours?

I have an Alpine 9855r and an 03reg C.

[A16X]

52 plate mate

[DaveP]

Autoleads PC99-X06 *PC99X06, Vauxhall Multistalk Adaptor, Suits from 03/93 onwards with separate radio display, Also requires Autoleads radio specific adaptor lead - When used in conjunction with Autoleads PC99-XXX range of adaptor leads this cable allows the use of OE stalk/steering wheel controls with compatible Vauxhall cars

May be your problem there ^^

93-53 :dontknow:

[Scott_NW]

03/93 is the month a year I think pal ;)

[Obs]

93-53 :dontknow:

think he meant that the adapter is for 03 onwards and the car its in is an 02 plate

[Obs]

03/93 is the month a year I think pal ;)

surely it'd be for a corsa b then? what year did canbus come in on c's?

[Scott_NW]

dave p: how have you wired it up


h/u > adapter > original ISO block along with 1 orange lead connected and the headphone type jack connected to h/u?

[Scott_NW]

2005onwards i think the canbus system came in

[DaveP]

Oh im not sure on the date then, I presumed it meant 03.

Have you created a loop with those 2 wires that come from the adaptor?

[Scott_NW]

connected 1 of the orange leads to the orange lead coming from the HU

do both orange leads from the adapter need to be connected to each other?

[DaveP]

Yeah the 2 orange ones need to be together, seems pointless like but they need to be put in a loop.

[DaveP]

Just went upstairs to get the instructions and the first one is...

"1. Link the two orange wires on the PC99-ALP to make a loop."

[A16X]

I was told it was suitable for my car :( Gutted.

[Scott_NW]

ahhhh, cheers pal :doublethumbs:

seemed far to easy connecting both wires from the same unit up :lol:

will have a go tomorrow :)

cheers for the help everyone

[DaveP]

I was told it was suitable for my car :( Gutted.

It probably is suitable for your car. Keep fiddling with it and you will probably find out it will work.

[DaveP]

ahhhh, cheers pal :doublethumbs:

will have a go tomorrow :)

cheers for the help everyone

I know thats what I thought when I was doing mine, does wonders reading instructions though haha.. but I hate reading them though so always try and guess! :lol:

[Scott_NW]

did have any instructions come with the patch lead :lol:

just seemed completly wrong to connect them in a loop haha

[DaveP]

well hopefully thats what the problem with it!

Let us know how you get on :heelclick:

[A16X]

I made a loop with mine :(

[DaveP]

Do you have those exact 2 leads?

How have you connected them?

[Steveocee]

Failing that try the alpine fix all combination, not sure exactly what it is but it goes something like,
Ignition on, stereo on, ignition off, stereo off, unplug 3.5mm jack, ign on, stereo on, ign off, stereo off, plug 3.5mm in, ign on stereo on and use fingers to control.

Mine played up abit but using that combination makes the system look for remotes e.g fingertip and IR

[Scott_NW]

it worked BUT now when i turn the iginiton off it resets the HU.

:x

i give up with it

[DaveP]

Did you swap the red/yellow over on the new adaptor? If you did then you shouldn't have done.

Dont give up! :)

[Steveocee]

Again as above, swap the red and yellows over on the bullets and you'll be laughing.

[Scott_NW]

only put the orange wires into a loop nothing more.

red / yellow???

leaving it till saturday now, attemping to sort it late at night after 12hr shifts is a bad idea :lol:

[DaveP]

if its losing memory then you need to put the two red and yellow wires together

red to yellow
yellow to red

[jmacd]

What steering wheel adapter do i need for an alpine unit for an 06 corsa?

[Scott_NW]

sorted it :D

cheers everyone
