    Default Navigation Question

    I just had an eclipse AVN 5435 installed on my 05 Toyota Solara.

    The steering wheel controls dont work.

    I understand why it wouldnt work for the volume controls and radio but why would the display not work? Yanno the display that shows how much fuel I have left, MPG etc etc..

    Also someone from the solara forum says

    i have the avn 5435, and my steering controls work fine, you do not need to buy any kit, they just have to switch a few connectros and thats all. any shop that is qualified will be able to do this for you. try another shop and they should do that for you


    if anyone can help give me good info I would appreciate it

    i agree, the shop didnt do something right, you either need to make them redo it, or take it someone else, while demanding your refund on labor

    I used gwinnett sound, they did a great job!!

    but the installer said I would have a purchase an adapter for $150 for the steering colum to work.

    He does works on all of my cars and always does a good job for a good price.

    ask the person on the solara forum if that 'adapter' had to be used when his/hers was installed. but i dont see what it has to do w/ your gauges not working. i think they had your whole dash out and didnt reconnect your wires

    well it seems like the speedo dash wasnt touched..so i cant explain that one. find out about that adapter first before you use 150 unnecessarily.

    they did something wrong, i know what the deal is but its one of those things that you cant put into words, its something that has to b e shown. i work at the circuit city at northpoint mall. if you want, you can bring it by there and i can fix it up for you.
