edobrez 3 Report post Posted October 15, 2016 I am really annoyed by the missing volume controls on the steering wheel. What options do I have to have them fitted to a 2015 car (and how much would that cost me ...) ? thanks Edo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S18 RSG 429 Report post Posted October 15, 2016 To retrofit, I know of no kits that exist. The 2017 wheel may be able to be retrofitted, but as an OEM Toyota item, don't be surprised if the price is near a grand. If you wanted to do it yourself, you could. You'd have to trace the volume up/down wires in the harness, and wire a switch to each of them, then find a neat solution to add two switches to the wheel. Could be done for as little as a few quid, but would look shit. Long story short, just forget about it. 2 Ztox and edobrez reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Church 209 Report post Posted October 15, 2016 Check this thread. But i'd probably would wait untill someone tries (and hopefully succeeds ) retrofitting MY2017 steering wheel with controls. Imho that should involve way less DIY customizing work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Varelco 211 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 Have you considered he may of had steering wheel controls on a previous car? Naive or facetious, I can't tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had found them on most cars (I also often rent cheap cars for travel), except my Lotus Elise where I did not miss them. But I do find I'd need them on the GT86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 Touch & Go interface is too uncomfortable to use. I find myself diverting too much attention and for too long when dealing with radio/music selection interfaces. Yes, one shouldn't do that unless stationary, but it wouldn't be that bad if done without taking hand from wheel and if without turning eyes from road to glance if you press right too small buttons that need to be pressed for too long or too many times (eg. to scroll long list of albums that may fit on flashdrive with mp3s).

ivorh964 8 Report post Posted October 18, 2016 I also loved the look and feel of that smaller/thinner 2017 steering wheel ! I've added a small fat black elastic band around the standard volume control of my 2013 GT86 - not very scientific but it makes it easier/quicker/safer to grip and use, whilst driving!

edobrez 3 Report post Posted October 18, 2016 Hi ivorh964, I placed a Lego car tyre around the volume control of my GT86 - for the same resaon as you did. 1 Squadrone Rosso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted October 20, 2016 I must admit it's easier now with the Lego Tires on both Knobs ,but would be far simpler if there were Steering Wheel Controls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
