we have the maguel and everything for a 2007 chevy cobalt. i did everythign that the instructiongs said and it still doesnt work.

we put in a navigation pioneer 90bt in it. could the new nav. system be the reason why the steering controls are not workin?!?!?

which module did you buy? and yes when you take out the OEM deck the steering wheel controls are useless until you buy a steering wheel adapter and hook it up properly

ok thanx. we already used the steering wheel adapter and module (SWI-PS). we followed programed everything and the steering wheel controls are still not working. What now?

you also need to make sure you supply a +12V to the steering controls as well.

 

I hooked mine up a long time ago so I am not exactly sure, but the instructions where a little fuzzy on that part.

 

The stock head unit supplies +10V to the the controls and if you follow the direction with the SWI-PS it leaves that part out. You need to find that +10V wire on the stock harness and hook up a +12 (you can't do +10 anymore without the stock headunit). Then you should be able to program it ok.

 

The stock system works (at least on my 2005) worked on a +10V reference and a series of resistors to tell the head unit the button you pushed based on volatge drop.

we followed every instruction but they are still not working.

would the year matter in this case? because mine is a 07 ?
