ZRE152R - audio steering wheel controls

[heres_barry]

Hi,

On the ZRE152R Corolla Ascent, the steering wheel audio controls are not standard, but you can order it as an option.

Does anyone know if the option is just fitting the new steering wheel and simply plugging in the audio controls.

I've tried three different Toyota outlets and got three different answers,

...thought it was now time to turn to the experts ;-)

Is the steering wheel available from Toyota or do I have to try for a wreck?

thanks in advance for any pointers,

Barry

Gday Barry,

Would be a lot more trouble and cost then it’s really worth, a new s-wheel with leather and the audio buttons will be costly, best to forget about it until /if you upgrade the head unit, then you can get s-wheel audio controls that attach to the rim of the steering wheel. Doubt you will find one at a wreckers yet, even if you did it will still be expensive.

Should have got the SX or ZR hey :) You'll get over it, its handy but not essential.

g'day Alfi,

do you have any links to those s-wheel audio controls you talked about? I'm interested in getting one.

cheers

The Pioneer unit is cool too, find it on www.pioneer.com.au, but you will have to get one that works with your headunit, they are mostly IR. Most brands make a steering wheel remote. Do some googleing :)
