Hi all

Right, I need some serious advice on a little project I'm embarking on.

As we all know the RT3 is a fantastic piece of kit but it sounds rubbish, under powered, flat sound quality the list is endless.
So I've pulled it out and fitted an alpine head unit just to see how it sounds and believe me, its 100x better........

Because my RT3 has the colour screen, it needs to stay in place, not a problem.
I'm thinking of locating the alpine in the centre air vents (!!!), again that's not a problem for me....the question i want to ask is this.........

Can i get a steering wheel control adaptor that will control the alpine whilst still relaying van bus data to the RT3 ?? Are the wheel controls unplugable or are they linked to the van bus network direct ??

Iv'e been looking at the autoleads adaptors made for the RD3 in ISO form and rewiring this to the QUADLOCK on the RT3 as this is the only van bus one i can find, can i piggy back the 2 van bus data cables from the adaptor to the RT3 ??

Anyone ??????
