Hey Janek,

Does your AU h/u have a cd/cassate in it?

If so i would be intrested in having a look!

Cheers

CARSIK had a thread in the Audio/Interior forum about a new adaptor for all models of headunits.

If you chuck in a AUII/III into an AUI, the Steering Controls wont work.

And with aftermarket headunits you need an adapter for the Steering Controls to work.

They're are a few brands about. Do a search.
