Stereo modification

Is it possible to fit the steering wheel with stereo controls from another Stilo to my Multiwagon, is the wiring already in the car, what bits do I need if this can be done, can it be done at home easily or is it an auto electrician job. Has this job been done before, any advice welcome thanks.

Re: Stereo modification

this can be done but you will have to fit another coil spring behind the steering wheel , change the wiring from the coilspring (two extra can-wires and a +12v wire) - it can be done yourself if you are a handyman , otherwise leave this to a car-electrician....

Re: Stereo modification

Thanks, is the coil spring refered to as a clock spring in the workshop manual and when I get a steering wheel I will need these bits too. It is also a pity those instructions are in German as they could be just what I need.

Re: Stereo modification

yes i meant clock spring (i'm Dutch so sometimes it's difficult to find the proper description...) - the pictures on the site are pretty well self-explanatory , you have to connect three extra wires on a (Abarth) clockspring - if you buy a used one pay attention to keep it aligned in it's original position because it needs a certain slack to both sides.
I did my Connect Nav+ and steering wheel modification this way and it works 100%!

with the Abarth clockspring you have all functions for certain - a clockspring from another version will also work if it comes from a car with steering wheel buttons - ás far as i know a low- and high version of the CAN-node inside the steering wheel exist (only radio control or all CN+ options)

Re: Stereo modification

I am hoping to get all the bits from a breakers yard so I will get the wheel and clockspring from the same car if not I may get the wheel and buy an arbarth spring from Fiat, also what is this CN+ all about. Thanks.
