Yet another audio steering control question! (Sorry) - Page 2

The blue wire marked "Remote" may be remote switching for an external amp, although I don't know for sure. Check it out before ordering your cables.
On my Sony unit there is a blue wire with white stripe marked "Amp Remote" so be careful. There is a 3.5 mm jack for hard wired remote control from steering wheel.
Best to be safe than sorry.

My patch lead arrived today and its all fitted and working.
Quite surprised how many functions the 3 button stalk has!

Thanks to all

No, they're not lit as standard, but someone is working on a modification to do this now.
