Hi all,
Just installed a new Joying PX5 unit into my VW and it am loving it! Had an idea for a tweak/mod and cannot find any direct info in my searches..
I do not have steering wheel controls, but my VW turn signal stalk has a cruise control up/down switch, which is PERFECTLY placed as a volume up/down switch- and I never use cruise control.
Can the Joying CANBUS read cruise control +/- button/switch events and remap those to volume? I tried the steering wheel control app but it didn't seem to detect cruise control +/- events. Secondly and just as important (a vw specific question), is it possible to disable cruise control so that the switch +/- doesn't interfere with vehicle speed?
Thanks for any help!

Hello I was wondering if someone knew where I could buy a volume and media playback remote type thing, that can connect to my nexus 7 that is installed in my car. Since my car doesn't have steering wheel buttons, I find it hard to change the volume. So a hardware buttons would be much easier.
Thanks
I have an old car so it doesn't have a steering wheel control buttons. I bought myself a bluetooth wireless remote control to try to control my music/voice search this way but the bluetooth doesn't connect to the head unit. Is there any work around to get this going? Perhaps w/ a bluetooth adapter connected to the usb? I'd like to connect to my bluetooth accessories somehow.
Thanks!
I am in the same boat as you. Bought a bluetooth steering wheel control, but HU does not recognize. As far as I know, the solution if you want steering wheel control is to install a remote control that I have seen recently on EBay and Aliexpress recently. Search "Car Steering Wheel Control Key Button For Android DVD/GPS Player Bluetooth Phone" on Ebay to see what I am talking about. You have to connect a control unit to the back of the HU. I have not tried this yet. Instructions seem a little unclear and I have not yet taken the plunge.
I have recently installed a Double Din Android based head unit in my Toyota Corolla 2012, have also paired with steering multimedia buttons (with Volume, Track, MODE, Phone & Mute controls). The "MODE" button on my steering wheel switches the current application to
Music
Video
AV-In
Radio
The headunit is equiped with GPS and have recently installed Sygic Premium as default navigation app. It works fine.
Problem: I want to add navigation in the above listed "MODES", so that switching the steering "Mode" button can switch to Navigation as well. Any Ideas?
