audio controls and valve covers

sooner71085 · 08-05-2004, 02:38 PM

So here I am again, posting yet 2 more completely unrelated topics. I've just blown a chunk of money on new speakers and subs, now I am lookin for a head unit. I was wondering if there is a way to hook up the factory controls by the steering column so they would still work with an aftermarket cd player. I am leaning towards the Alpine CDA-9835, I have heard that they make an adapter for the factory controls to work. Any input on this would be great before I blow 400 bucks on a cd player. Also, I love the yellow spoon valve cover for the s2k. I just can't find them for sale anywhere. Does anyone know a place online to buy one?
Thanks for the help as always

This isnt going to help you at all sooner, but I am in the same dillema. Also I was wondering if anybody has a 2000 s2k and only has 2 dinky speakers cuz thats what I have and every other s2k has more and I was wondering why mine only has 2.

For all your S2000 audio needs:

The 00 and 01 cars had 2 door speakers, 02 and 03 had a slightly more powerful head unit with two-way separates in the doors. 04s now have the option of headrest speakers too. This car wasn't designed to be a GT type boulevard cruiser (like a 350Z, G35, RX8 etc), it's a track car so high end stereo, dual zone climate control, heated electric seats were not priorities.
