Default steering wheel radio controls

do any of you know of a possible way of having radio controls on the steering wheel? i love the look of the radio cover but i'm way too a.d.d. to leave the sterio alone.
TIA

Default I do have a wheel mod in mind, but it has nothing to do with the radio... At least not an audio

one...

Default Now Jeff, you know that's not the case!

All you have to do is tap in to the radio PCB where the button traces come in ; )

Certainly not something I would even contemplate tackling without a $5000 up front development fee.

You up for that, boobiestt?!

sorry, still not possible. you'd need a motor-pot and wheel controls but you are right about the fee

Ah, you mean for volume? That one would be tougher - all the rest are just buttons...

That dial isn't a real pot. Try this, crank the stereo, turn off the car, start er back up.
