InCarTec 29-UC-050-REN1 Renault with ISO Steering Wheel Control
Product Information
The 29-UC-050-REN1 is an interface box designed for ISO Renault cars and vans, including Renault Traffic, Vauxhall Vivaro, and Nissan Primastar. It provides various outputs such as Handbrake, Reverse, Speed Pulse, Illumination Ignition output Steering control. The interface box is compatible with different Renault car models such as Clio, Koleos, Laguna, Megane, Modus, and Twingo. The separate display above the radio must remain powered for the interface to work. The product comes with two 8 pin ISO connectors and a patch lead that needs to be connected to the aftermarket head-unit. The green LED on the interface will repeatedly flash once followed by a pause when connected to the car.
Product Usage
- Connect the cables to the interface box and to the car, and the patch lead to the 4 pole black connector (this is attached to pins 4, 8 and 12 of the control box).
- Connect the two 8 pin ISO connectors and the patch lead to the aftermarket head-unit.
- Set the interface to the brand of head unit you are fitting. The number of flashes between pauses corresponds to the make of head unit.
- Press the VOL + and VOL – buttons on the cars steering wheel to increase or decrease the number of flashes.
- When you have the correct number of flashes, press SEEK+ to confirm and the LED will go to a solid green.
- For Chinese and resistive programming head-units, set the number of flashes to 6. Confirm the setting by pressing SEEK+. Now press the reset button 5 times, the interface will start to flash yellow (this allows prolonged pressure on the steering controls). Using the radios resistive learning menu, you can now learn and memorize the buttons. Wait at least 5 seconds between each button press. When finished, turn the ignition off and on, and the LED will go back to solid green.
- To reprogram the interface for another head unit brand or if the light is solid green before you have had the chance to set the head-unit brand, push the reset button in and keep it pushed in for 10 seconds and then release the button. At this point, the LED should start to flash green.
- Setting the Jumpers: The Jumpers are on the PCB inside the interface box. By default, they are set up to suit most vehicles and should usually only need to be changed if fitting an Alpine head unit. The jumpers are set by moving them between positions 1 and 2 or positions 2 and 3. If fitting an Alpine, please set jumper J1.

Installation Instruction
- Connect the cables to the interface box and to the car, and the patch lead to the 4 pole black connector (this is attached to pins 4, 8 and 12 of the control box). Connect the two 8 pin ISO connectors and the patch lead to the aftermarket head-unit. When connected to the car the interface will automatically recognise the vehicle. The green LED on the interface will repeatedly flash once followed by a pause.
- You need to set the interface to the brand of head unit you are fitting. The number of flashes between pauses corresponds to the make of head unit, see the table below for the number of flashes needed for each one. Press the VOL + and VOL – buttons on the cars steering wheel to increase or decrease the number of flashes. When you have the correct number of flashes, press SEEK+ to confirm and the LED will go to a solid green
For Chinese and resistive programming head-units.
Set the number of flashes to 6. Confirm the setting by pressing SEEK+. Now press the reset button 5 times, the interface will start to flash yellow ( this allows prolonged pressure on the steering controls ). Using the radios resistive learning menu you can now learn and memorize the buttons. Wait at least 5 seconds between each button press. When finished turn the ignition off and on and the LED will go back to solid green. To reprogram the interface for another head unit brand or if the light is solid green before you have had the chance to set the head-unit brand. Push the reset button in and keep it pushed in for 10 seconds and then release the button. At this point the LED should start to flash green.
| Number of flashes | Make of head unit |
|---|---|
| 1 | Clarion 3.5mm jack |
| 2 | Kenwood 1 wire |
| 3 | JVC 1 wire |
| 4 | Alpine 3.5mm |
| 6 |

* Resistive 2 wire Resistive 3.5mm jack 7| Sony 3.5mm jack
If fitting an Alpine, please set jumper J1, please see overleaf.
- Setting the Jumpers: The Jumpers are on the PCB inside the interface box. By default they are set up to suit most vehicles and should usually only need to be changed if fitting an Alpine head unit. The jumpers are set by moving them between positions 1 and 2 or positions 2 and 3.
| Position 1-2| Position 2-3
---|---|---
J1| Alpine| All other Radio Manufacturers
J2| Negative Handbrake (not all vehicles)|
J3| | Positive Reverse Output
J4| |
J5| | CAN bus Handling - The Reverse and Speed Pulse cables: The reverse output (blue wire) is only needed when fitting a reverse camera to the new head unit. The grey speedpulse wire is needed when fitting head units with built in satellite navigation and some Kenwood. If not required these can be insulated and ignored.
