Go buy a T30 bit, disconnect the neg battery cable, look on the back side of hte steering wheel. Youll see two holes, in each is a torx bolt. Loosen each one, they will not come out all the way, there is a keeper holding them there, just losen em and the air bag will lift off. now, remove the screw on the left trim piece and pull the trim piece straight towards you (gently please) Un plug the wire from the steering column and there you have it. just pop out the small circuit card. You'll need an LED in a 1206 package (really freakin small). You do not have to unplug the airbag, Assemble in reverse order.
Thanks lvbitwiz.... i read somewhere's that you could use a plcc in there instead if you wanted to. any feedback on that theory??? jh

DIY: There was a post on this site about someone who replaced their steering wheel. IIRC, it's almost the same as the instructions above, just with pictures.
Mode-to-Mute Button: Couldn't he install the PAC part that allows Pioneer HU's to utilize the Wheel Controls in aftermarket setups to change the mode button to Mute? Not sure, just guessing/asking.

button for a half second to get a mute.......... push the 'vol down' button for 2 seconds. your sound will go down real fast..That button is about a half an inch from t he mode button to the left & down... Plus a hella lot cheaper than changing out your H/U to get a 'mute' function..... UNLESS you want more power, more features & better sound, then yes... change your H/U out.. But if you want to keep your steering wheel controls, you must choose a H/U that has a 'wired remote' mini plug jack in the back.. that's where the PAC SWI plugs into to actuallly control the Unit from the steering wheel buttons.. good luck ....jh ps
yes, Miketf1 you got away with a thread jack & you got yourself some answers to boot!!!
