steering wheel audio control
How hard would it be to add the steering wheel audio controls to my 01 se. Any info will be appreciated, thanks.

Re: steering wheel audio control
It's actually not all that hard. You require the steering wheel, controls, clock spring (I believe it's a different part number for cars with steering wheel controls) and some wiring with the appropriate terminals to connect into the body control module (Instrument Panel Module if I recall correctly). There is no configuration change required, just the addition of the hardware.

Re: steering wheel audio control
could someone post a wiring diagram for this. So I know what wire and which part on the ribbon cable it is.

Your head unit may not support steering wheel controls.

Re: steering wheel audio control
As long as the factory radio is installed, it supports steering wheel controls. Why do you believe it may not?bobgto65 wrote:Your head unit may not support steering wheel controls.
