    Connecting wheel controls to aftermarket Android head unit

    e87guy posted a topic in Audio/Video/Electronics/Security
    I have a 2011 118D E87 N47. The previous owner has installed an aftermarket Android head unit into the storage box on top of the dashboard. The head unit is a MEKEDE head unit from AliExpress. Here are the specs: https://i.imgur.com/WASjORM.jpeg The center console armrest buttons work with the head unit, but the wheel controls don't. The wheel controls don't even work when I use the stock Business CD radio. To get the music/sound from the head unit, I need to set the stock radio to "AUX". The head unit also has a reverse camera, Bluetooth, and a microphone, which all work. So how do I connect the wheel controls to the head unit? How do I know what type of cable to get, if that's what I should do? What other info can I provide here? Any pointers and help is appreciated!
