8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - to add an aftermarket radio to an 06 ex model

PAC sells a kit to be able to use your steering wheel controls on select model radios and select cars. There's a kit for alpine headunits (it doesn't work with some, i know it doesn't for the 9856) - but it also doesn't say its compatable with the 06 civic.. i'm going to call up crutchfield and find out for sure.. maybe it just says that because no one has tested it before. If that's the case, I'm going to be probably the first to do so.

I don't use the controls that often, but there's times when I do.

As far as making it work with the factory amp.. there is a blue wire with a silver stripe i believe.. that turns that factory amp on. THen you just connect the regular speaker wires.

As far as my kit.. i stated everything in the post. I have 4 orders so far so i'm getting close to the bulk order.
