Question
i've installed an Mp3 audio player in my vauxhall astra. it's working fine it's just cant communicate with audio buttons in the stearing .. was wondering is there any sort of code or anything like this ?

Answer
Don't know for sure what you are connecting to at the head end so it will depend on that for the right interface.  For an Alpine, for example, go to:

http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=APFS100OP

and

http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/catsearch.php?cat=Installation+Parts&subcat=Remote...

But you can google around and find many adapters; just google with your car details and radio unit in the search terms.

Hope that helps.
