[QUOTE="Alexysc, post: 742089, member: 44039"] Hi all, It's been a while but i guess i shud report back on what i did. So i found this uk maker of aftermarket harness which provide harness which maintains steering wheel control for aftermarket hud. [URL="http://www.connects2.com/home/index"]http://www.connects2.com/home/index[/URL] Bought the harness which cost me ard rm250 include delivery from ebay and also a cheap (experimental) hud Kenwood KMM-U21 for another rm220. Include some fittings and all costed just below rm500. Did it diy. All seems fine but FM reception has been randomly (but long) poor. I suspected because only 1 of the 3 diversity antenna line works properly. I am still figuring out how to isolate this problem. The diversity connection is obviously not available in the kenwood to allow auto changing if poor reception is received. And that the natural cycle is long so that's why i got poor reception on random startup. Other than that steering function works fine and sound from speaker works ok also. And also when i bought my cheap hud, i did not notice kmm-u21 only have manual dimmer. which is a bummer. a cheaper jvc xd220 unit have the headlight dimmer control (orange cable). Having an aftermarket dynavin unit i got quoted for 3k is rather steep for me so this rm500 diy solution should serve me well now (hopefully i solve the antenna issue as well). With the harness, i could also open possibility to install a 2-din from kenwood as well. So cheers! [/QUOTE]
