Hi all,

Could anybody tell me if the 156 SW stereo & steering wheel controls are the same as the saloon version?

I am wanting to get the Parrot Unika fitted to my car which will give me steering wheel controls for my Mki9200.

The car is a 53 plate 1.9JTDm...

Expansys seems to say the 156 is compatible: http://www.expansys.com/ad.aspx?url=http://www.expansys.com/i/misc/parrot_unika_compatibility.pdf

Many thanks in advance :thumbs:

yes and no. they are the same if they feature a Blaupunkt-made CD headunit. this includes the vast majority of cars AFAIK.

different markets/models may have had an Alpine or Clarion or Philips based headunit, and those cars with the Blaupunkt sat nav differ slightly too.

if you're unsure, post up a photo of the headunit in the dash.

Okay, that confused me lol

I will post up a picture of the head unit tomorrow and eagerly await youre response.

In fact, this pic is identical: http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/2/4950/661/24872830006_large.jpg

it's confusing cos not every 156 in the world came with the same headunit.

but you have the standard headunit, most common to the 156, and same as in the saloon.

That's the same stereo that my car (saloon '52) used to have (if that helps)

Well, I think that means that the steering wheel controls should work then - if not, I will just have to return them!

Many thanks fellas!

I'm the steering wheel controls are merely resistor ladders (i.e. different resistance depending upon which button is pressed) so you shouldn't have a problem :thumbs:
