Possible to replace stock steering wheel with audio controlled?

[scottmcdaniel]

I have a 2002 Boxster with just a normal, plain Jane steering wheel. Is it possible to get it replaced with one that has audio controls? I've replaced the radio with a nice Sony and I hate to say it, but I'm jealous of my daughters Volvo and my wife's Camry in that they both have steering wheel controls.


Thoughts or advice, short of a new car?

If your car is a manual you can buy a tiptronic steering wheel and wire the tiptronic controls the run the stereo. It takes some work, but can be done.

The key is the "clock spring" which rides behind the wheel. It needs to have the proper # of electrical leads to and from it. It's purposes is to allow the wheel and it's wiring to turn without twisting up the wiring coming from the steering column.

Getting a Tip. set up sounds like a good Idea. Otherwise if your handy you could ,od your wheel with switches and just find a clock-spring.
