Anybody do the steering wheel - volume control mod?

Anyone also know how to make it change tracks instead of the volume? Thanks!

I jumped into that project and gave up, because the article was written around the single din 99 style Mach. The hardware in my 01 was completely different, and I didn't feel like messing around with it that much. I did wire up the speed sensitive volume control while I was in there, however.

Yep, the speed sensitive control is a cool feature.

Don't you lose your cruise control ability??

I'd rather have my CC.

My sis's Maxima has the volume mounted controls. I use her car regularly and still never use the steering wheel controls.

Stang|ess · Nov 18, 2006

actually, you use a toggle switch (last picture on the link I believe) to switch from CC, to volume control.

I was hoping someone knows how to make it so it changes the track rather than the volume. I'm going to buy a PIE connection for my ipod, and I'm one of those guys that switches songs rather often.

anyone got a link for the speed sensitive volume control?

The PIE connector doesn't give you control over the IPOD, it just creates an sound input jack.

I have a PIE connector for my Ipod and Sat radio

I was going to buy one from www.mp3yourcar.com and you have control over your ipod from your headunit.

Mustang5L5 · Nov 18, 2006

Interesting..i never knew of that kit

Stang|ess · Nov 18, 2006

doesn't it sound awesome to be able to change tracks with the CC buttons on your steering wheel?

got to figure this out!

to much work involved IMO

Mustang5L5 · Nov 18, 2006

How to you adjust the speed sensitive volume anyway?

I want to tweak mine and i don't have a manual anymore

Push in the volume knob for a few seconds, and it then turns into the SS volume setting.

Use the "Up/down" arrow button on the right side of the head unit to adjust the SS volume level.

WTH is speed sensitive volume???? And how hard is it to reach over and twist a knob? Jeeze, you guys have too much time on your hands

Mustang5L5 · Nov 19, 2006

It works out nice, because when you come to a light, it lowers the volume slightly but as you get rolling it raises it to compensate for the exhaust.

Shiroelex · Nov 19, 2006

Exactly. I have mine set to the highest setting, so it adjusts the volume a great deal, due to my current exhaust setup with dumps. Everytime I come to a stop, my passengers think the song is over.

Mustang5L5 · Nov 19, 2006

I can't stand not hearing what is going on outside of the car. I usually cruise around with the radio barely audible.

I know a lot of buys my age spend serious cash on building a loud stereo, but I can't drive with loud music.

Don't get me wrong, once in a while when i'm cruising on the highway and a good some comes on i'll crank the Mach 460 up, but for the most part my music is on softly.

Then when i get rolling and the exhaust is loud, the volume automatically increases slightly so i can still hear it

It's not hard to do but it is very handy. Basically, as the car's speed increases/decreases, the volume goes up/down automatically. The volume itself is adjustable.
