PAC makes converters that allow you to use your steering wheel controls on an aftermarket radio.

I have one for my Sony XAV-60.

What are the dimensions for the seat back section? I am looking to build a single 10 box and mount the amps to it for easy release.

Thanks

Did alot of it by eyeballing, made the base by covering the mat under the ralliart mat with painters tape to the shape i wanted and tracing it to mdf then placing the rings to allow for the clearance,took forever but well worth it.

You've got to teach me how to mold, Can you do carbon fiber molds?

There's alot more envolved when doing carbon fiber,i think it needs to be baked under somekind of vacuum.What i did was easy just time consuming and messy.The best write up i've seen is http://http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~74519~PN~1 (http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~74519~PN~1)
