The MPR-999 is here! (Universal Learning Steering Remote Control )

Latheesh · 13th November 2009, 10:03

I have Kenwood MP6043U HU. Will it work with it? Is anyone in Bangalore ordering the same from ebay?

chetans · 8th March 2010, 12:55

which shop can i buy this in pune/banglaore?

frankmehta · 8th March 2010, 21:01

No shop mate. I havent seen this for sale in India in retail.

Hey Gurus,

I have a basic audio player in my car - just a mp3 cd player without any remote, usb, aux or bluetooth. Is there any steering mounted control that will work in this setup?

Appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

Frank, Does this remote needs any steering wheel remote adapter to work, that comes as optional buy with the HU? Mine is Kenny Excelon X994 HU bought from US of A. & I haven't bought that adapter with the HU

Guys, I have listed mine on classifieds, as I have moved to a pioneer HU and I shifted to the Pioneer steering remote.
Cheers..

driver2000, if there never was a remote, this will not work since your HU does not have the Remote sensor
whizzkid, no harnesses are required. This remote records the signals from your stock remote, and plays them back. it essentially mimics your stock remote. Apart from you having to teach it , no further stuff is required

Thanks for this post!

It helped me take the plunge. As long as it lasts for a year or two I'm happy with the reliability of this.

Now eagerly waiting for it to arrive!

Hi, Picked up a TS 99 from Ace Bearing .
Which side of the steering wheel ( Left or Right ) is optimal for mounting

chetans · 20th December 2010, 12:46

any idea if this works with alpine 9834 model?
I cant recall if this HU supports remote :(

frankmehta · 20th December 2010, 12:47

If you don't have the remote for the head unit, you can't use this. It's a learning remote. You have to point the remote at the MPR999 and make it 'learn' the commands. Simple procedure.

there is a relatively inexpensive type of steering remote available from Pioneer.
it is available at Auto Shop Koramangala - cost is about 1320/--1380/-1400/-in that range. i had fixed one when I bought my Scorpio and it still works very well indeed. It is mounted on the steering wheel on the left side so that it is easy to use and so that the signals are picked up by the HU.
I recently fixed one of these on my Dad's Indica also and it works very well there too.
The steering remote is much easier and safer than fiddling with the HU while driving and/or using the standard remote provided with the HU itself.
