astra cd player,

[saxo_boi]

i am getting a new astra soon and i want to change the standard stereo with one of my own. the thing is is that it has got remote control bits on the steering wheel so you can change stations etc. the stereo that i want to put in there does have this option but i wondered whether you knew if i will still be able to use the controls on the steering wheel? thanks you!!!!!

In my experience - Rover - the steering wheel controls did not work after i put in a new stereo

I have an Astra and I put my own cd / radio player in and no (unfortunately) you can't operate it with the steering wheel controls!

I bought the official cd player for vauxhalls off ebay. it is a cdr 500 and it is brilliant. There is no need for any re wiring you just plug it in!! the steering controls and the dash display work with it

you can get an adapter to get the steering wheel controls to work.but new stereo wont work with display on dashboard.
