Steering Wheel Audio Controls

When I bought my Compass I didn't realize that having audio controls on the wheel was an option. I was curious if there was any after market parts or kits available. I just want to use the factory installed head unit I currently have.

I have them on our Patriot but I think they would be expensive to add. I don't use them very much because the knobs on the radio are so close to the driver anyway.

I hardly ever use mine. Its no problem to use the radio controls that are attached to the radio. I think you may regret the purchase if you install them.

The controls are on the back side of the steering wheel and not labeled. I find it a pain to use them as you have to memorize what they do. If the controls faced the driver and were labeled that wouldn't be a problem.

The only time that I use mine is the left side for going up/down and track on the CD. The right side is volume but I just don't use it. They are only slightly handy, not really a big deal.
