you already have a volume **** on your aftermarket stereo. why wire up another one. i know there are radios that have buttons for volume but those are generally on cheaper decks anyways.

btw we have an "audio/video" interest section/sub-forum. it should have been posted there.

i think he meant to make the factory volume **** be a master control for volume and power for the aftermarket head unit. if you don't plan on shaving off the factory ****, then that's one way to make it still functional. i was wondering the same thing a while back too.

most likely to get this to work you deck would have to be able to have the steering wheel connector added to it and wire that to the ****.

My suggestion is if you have an amp put the remote gain attached to that.

That's an awesome idea , I might just have to give it a try if it's possible.

another cool idea would be to wire it up to an exhaust cut out.

volume control for the radio is on the radio, volume for the car is on the car haha. i have crackpot ideas for cars.

for the OP, unless you have an external amp, i'd recommend leaving it alone. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

spend 2 years building a 240 with a guy who smokes weed 24/7 and you'll get a crazy imagination haha

LoL, i dont think its crazy, its just innovative and different. Well....regardless its a better use for the voided **** when you put an aftermarket deck.

I know this is late but I was wondering the same thing, I'm about to install a Pioneer Avic F700 head unit and it has an input for a wired remote, I'm wondering if I could use my stock volume **** with a minijack adaptor to power the volume on the HU, because the volume **** on the Avic radio also controls the CD player up/down, left/right and I don't want to overuse it.
