Aftermarket Steering Wheel Controls

[atomic_hoji]

Not familiar with 2nd gens so much, but just to throw ideas out - which maybe you've already thought of...

Do you know if the wiring harness for your RS has the connections available (just unused)? Assuming steering wheel controls were available in one of the models in 2006.. If so, you could find a oem steering wheel at a wrecker and swap. If not, what about swapping to a later model steering column from a wrecker making sure you grab the wire harness bits; grab as much as possible, wire the rest to the new unit?

Anything that sticks out off the wheel seems like a PITA waiting to happen, but also understand there's a cost and effort benefit ratio of aftermarket vs. parts hunting, dash teardown, and wiring to get oem feel. lol

Good luck with whichever path you take; keep us posted.
