Steering wheel volume controls and RDS...

[stoca01]

Hi,

I have a 700BT installed (with latest update) on a Mustang 07.

Do you know if there is a way to mod the cruise controls on the mustang (or any other car as a starting point) to control the F700 volume and also control the prev/next song ? On a Mustang forum I saw a similar mod but it was for a mustang 2000 stock radio.

 

On a different topic, I really miss the RDS capability of the factory head-unit and while it was clear that RDS was not offered on the 700BT , for $849 in my opinion RDS should be a must. Maybe it can be enabled via software now that we got some visibility onto the architecture of this unit.

One thing I find interesting is RDS is available for MOST aftermarket head units in Europe however even the same model Pioneer units in the States do not offer RDS. You CAN get RDS by installing the HD Radio tuner on your 700BT though.

Ya, if you want RDS that bad, the HD tuner is an easy solution

I just bought the Avic f700bt and im in the process of getting it installed on my 05' Lincoln ls, I have the factory steering wheel controls that already come installed on the car and i wanted to know if there is anyway that i could keep them on, i did a little bit of searching and i seen the PAC SWI-PS does any one know if this is both compatible with the f700bt and the 05' ls?
