Original Design
This product was designed by Pounamu Electronics. By buying this product you support original hardware creators.

Features:

  • Simple, plug-and-play solution. Mount the volume knob to a panel in the car, solder two wires into your stereo's steering wheel control input and you are good to go
  • Compatible with many headunit brands
    • JVC1
    • Kenwood2
    • Alpine
    • Pioneer
    • Sony
    • Android Headunits (solderless control via USB!)3
    • Any headunit with steering wheel control learning
  • USB C powered. Most headunits have female USB connectors for you to plug this into and power up
  • MCU: WCH CH32X035 with Arduino firmware support
  • Interrupt-driven firmware results in a smooth, user-freindly experience
  • Firmware updates via USB upload
  • Fully open source hardware and firmware. This includes all design files, BOM, firmware, etc

1 JVC forces incremental volume control above certain values on select models. I am yet to find a way to bypass this.

2 Kenwood forces incremental volume control above certain values on select models. I have found a way to bypass this and have implemented it by default in the firmware. This may or may not work for your unit and your miles may vary.

3 Some Android headunits do not allow USB volume control. If that is the case with your unit, you can default back to using the resistance SWC mode of this kit for control input

Documentation and Source Code

Why did I make this?

  • No kits like this exist: a plug-and-play solution to add a volume knob back into your car. Mount the volume knob to a panel in the car, solder two wires and you are good to go

My headunit does not have a USB socket to power this??

No worries, purchase an automotive 12V to USB adapter and plug this into it.

  • Note: The 12V rail in cars is harsh. Do not cheap out on this component
