Steering wheel controls...

[Italianbulldog85]

My coupe came the most basic you can get.

How hard would it be to put the radio controls in the steering wheel? and What would I have to do?

[Canadian Coupe]

I finally figured out why we have to pay an extra 10,000 for a 3.5 loaded Coupe in Canada!

Ya, I bought my coupe in Canada, the 2.5S, and checked with the USA site as well. Basically All Canadian coupes, at least the 2.5S one, is the US stock 2.5S but with moonroof + Convenience Package which includes:

* 16" Aluminum-alloy wheels * Automatic on/off headlights * 8-way power adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support * Passenger-side front-window one-touch auto-up/down with auto-reverse * Remote front windows down * Key-operated front windows up/down * Dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors with sun visor extenders * Leather-wrapped steering wheel * Steering wheel-mounted audio controls * Wood-tone trim (Blond interior only) * Trunk side storage net

So that's why some US coupes don't have the steering wheel controls.

Back to the topic: If you are comfortable with wiring things up, pulling the dash apart, anything to do with audio in cars it should be pretty straight forward. I imagine you'd just have to pull apart your steering wheel, put the controls in, run the wires to the back of your factory stereo, and hook some wires up to the stock head unit. The only tough part would be figuring out where to throw the wires to.

Yeah, the only thing I wanted from that package in the US is the steering wheel mounted audio controls so i figured I would save the money especially at the price I got my coupe for. Now i just gotta figure out what wire goes where.
