can i get the 06 tC's steering wheel with audio controls retrofitted onto my '05? will the dealership do this? any idea how much itd cost? i really like the idea of audio controls on the wheel, and it looks pretty damn cool too.

 

it can be done for about 600-700 buck beacuse youll lose the old radio from what i was told.

 

heard they come available about a year after particular car models are out. Since this is the first year of the steering wheel controls... probably not til next summer sometimes? That how most are, I was told?????'

 

i have an 06 tc... and i only was able to use my steering wheel radio controls for a week... and then i upgraded my stereo to an aftermarket pioneer... so its kinda of useless to have the controls now.. but they are a cool concept since lots of cars come with them now.

 

spikeymike. if you want to try to use your steering wheel controls, i think crutchfield had a device that programs to your HU thru the IR remote. That device is wired to your wheel

 

yea i bought this adapter, from buy.com cause it was cheaper, and am a lil confused on how to hook it up the HU exactly <--me

i was hoping somewhere here has done it so i could follow.

 

The real question is, does anyone want to sell their 06 HU? ;-)

 

There will be someone later, trust me. So many people have put in Navigation, like myself, then we sell our Stock HU.

 

I have an 06 tC..with a 05 radio and yes the steering wheel buttons work. For those of you wondering why this is, i didn't plan this. Apparently the dealer who first got my car put the 05 6disc changer in it, and then didn't tell my dealership that I got the car from. So I had the option of keeping the 6disc changer for FREE or having them put an 06 single disc in hmmmm....
