remote stalk

[omega]

not wanting to hijack someone elses thread i thought id ask my question here.
been reading about fitting a aftermarket stereo and still useing the stalk and apartenley this can be done you just need a special lead,but you lose the display so..........
if you removed the stalk from the 406 and then fitted it to say a corsa then bought the lead and pluged it in would you get a working remote for your radio?

this might be a daft question as my electric knowledge is very basic but if you dont ask you dont find out.

Bloody good point & I'm surprised this is the first time I've seen it. The wires from the stalk on my 406 go only to the stereo, so there is absolutely no reason why the stalk couldn't be fitted to another car.

Edit: Gah! Beaten to it by Mr W Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a remote made by the same company as the radio or doesn't it work like that?

I think, Nigel has more than the odd stereo knocking around from the breakers he's had, and is looking at putting one into his misses Corsa and have the radio stalk function working on it
my guess anyway

you are so right
dont no about doing it but the thought just crossed my mind

what you say might be true but that solution would cost more money than a 14 pound lead and im tight/always skint.
