Can a Multi-Function Steering Wheel Be Installed as an Aftermarket Accessory?
1 Answers
It is possible to install a multi-function steering wheel as an aftermarket accessory, provided that the vehicle's higher trim level offers this configuration. A multi-function steering wheel refers to a steering wheel equipped with functional buttons on either side or at the bottom, allowing the driver to operate various controls more conveniently. These controls typically include audio adjustments, air conditioning settings, and more. To retrofit a multi-function steering wheel for controlling an in-dash DVD navigation system, the original vehicle's DVD navigation must support steering wheel learning functionality. If it does not, replacing the DVD navigation unit is necessary to achieve this feature. Additionally, if the vehicle originally lacks cruise control functionality, installing a multi-function steering wheel to enable cruise control will require adding a cruise control computer module to realize this capability.
