[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8677476, member: 576029"] Those head units have no support, so you kind of have to figure it out on your own. Instructions are pretty garbage. It should have a remote control input which you can use with a steering wheel interface (unlikely to control it directly). You'll need to research the car for a factory wiring diagram, and likely need to pay for a few day subscription for access to an online shop manual to download schematics. Big 3 is always a good idea but the alt positive to battery positive is awkward and may cause issues on new cars (especially how it's mounted). At least upgrade the two grounds: engine block to chassis and battery negative to chassis. The power wire should be sized for the alt and is a reliable connection. Adding to it may compromise reliability. Ground connections are the most subjective to issues. [/QUOTE]
