v70 T5 2001 Steering wheel button retrofit

Post by Hangya90 »

Hi Everyone!

I got a head-scratcher this time, so my last resort is to post here, and maybe someone knows the answer.

So I have a V70 T5 2001, with a 4-spoke steering wheel, only cruise control fitted by the manufacturer.
I decided as I am happy with the original head unit, and my phone is connected to it with BT, would be useful if I can get the audio control to the other side,
Quick research said the wiring should be there so plug and play. YAY! went on ebay, week later the item is arrived, after struggling to remove the airbag for half an hour, finally i reach the point to change the blank item to the buttons. But no harnes been found?!
Was checking in Vida which got be a harness cable between the cruise control and the audio control, which feels like stupid and even it would not have the same connector as my audio buttons (audio 2x5 pin, harness 9pin)

So im at a question, Do I missing something?
How its should be connected, what cable I would need?

As of now have on the bracket is this connector only, which is goes to the cruise control

The audio control lower socket and the cruise control cable, from the original harness can be connected, however, it won't work

The cable harness I found is this:

It might connect to the cruise control socket, but on the other side? for sure not connect to the audio

Also found 1 in Latvia with the whole bracket

Does anybody have any experience with this?


Sorry for the long post

Thanks

The T5 was TOTL for the V70 in 2001. The 4 spoke steering wheel had the sound system controls built in.
