Title: CANBUS adapter
Post by: Knaggsy on 15 June 2007, 20:39

Replacing OEM stereo with an Alpine iDA-X001. Need to get my hands on a CANBUS adapter that will allow me to use the MFSW with it. Apologies if this topic has been done before but need a supplier that will send it to me, based in Ireland. If possible does anyone have a part number etc.
Thanks.

I have a Canbus and also have an Alpine iDA-X001 on order.  Hopefully the stereo should arrive within the next week and I can try fitting it!
I had the whole dash apart today to fit the GPS antena for my Micro Road pilot - it seemed easy enough if you follow the guides!  I have a Blaupunkt canbus which is generic - and says it works with the MFSW.  I dont have a MFSW - so I wont be able to tell you whether it actually works!
