email courtesyparts.com and I'm sure they'll point you in the right directionfalcondrgn wrote:Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to add steering wheel audio controls if the car did not come with it? and if so how hard is it and is it an expensive upgrade? Thanks so much.
I dont want to discourage the idea, but dont be surprised if the parts places dont know. Parts catalogs are not designed in a way to benefit upgrades by do-it-yourselfers. In other words, the parts specialist wont be able to look up a steering wheel with audio controls and see all the related parts and hardware that go with it. The only way they would know is if an employee has helped someone before with whatever specific upgrade you are curious about. There is ALOT of trial and error in an effort like this. Even most Factory technicians wont know.jorgecar wrote: email courtesyparts.com and I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction
Not only that, but if the steering wheel needs to be swapped out, there's no way it will be cheap. The airbag is going to add considerable cost.BMXPath wrote: I dont want to discourage the idea, but dont be surprised if the parts places dont know.
I know for sure because I have asked courtesyparts before...no need to swap out the whole steering wheel + airbag!NVSteve wrote:Not only that, but if the steering wheel needs to be swapped out, there's no way it will be cheap.

Double-check with them again, this is what I was quoted some time ago for the plastic cover/assembly:
25552-EA08A SWITCHASSY $48.69
good luck, keep us posted!
My bad...that price quote was from over a year ago! =)falcondrgn wrote:I just checked courtesyparts.com and it gave me a quote of $66.10 for the switchassy. Did they just raise the price or something?
