Only thing she is really missing is the MP3 compatibility. Current stereo is CD30 but there is CD30 MP3 available so going to keep an eye on eBay for one with code. Should work with steering wheel then.

WTF. I got one for my omega fine. Found a facia adaptor fine.

Stick up the model numbers and maybe someone can help.

I've not got the thing on mine as I couldn't be bothered with paying for the adapter and taking it all apart again :lol: It was enough hassle getting the fascia thing in in the first place.

Would you say it isn't worth trying to get the steering wheel controls to work then? I guess the only thing you're guarantee'd is volume?

I was around £40 / £50 for the cables for the ibiza :(
Im sure theres a way of finding out maybe before buying? What headunit is it? Newer stuff and big brands I prezume would be compatible? Stuff like sony, alpine and pioneer

So we could end up spending about £40 on the cable plus the patch lead and it might not work. Where as a standard cable is about £6. Ouchy.

Cheers guys.

If you go onto car audio direct and get the vauxhall to (whatever brand of stereo) wiring harness
Then you'l need the patch lead to use the multi stalk controls and it will be specific to the car. Im sure its easy to find what you need on the website

Misses has just bought a Corsa C with the standard double DIN stereo.

She wants to put her single DIN stereo in, keeping the controls from the steering wheel. I know it needs the fascia plate, but can anyone recommend the exact cables required?

Is there any issues with doing this and keeping the steering wheel controls? :thumbs:
