steering wheel swap...
I just purchased my wife a new '03 expy XLT w/ leather. She really misses the radio controls on the steering wheel like she had on her old car.
I know the EB expy's come standard with the controls on the steering wheel, and I'm wondering how hard it is to install them on hers?
Will the existing factory CD/tape/radio system work with the controls? Any special wiring that has to be done?
Any help is greatly appreciated..
Thanks.

Probably cheaper, (and alot easier) to get an aftermarket stereo w/ remote. My wife is 5'2", and with the seat all the way forward, still has to take her eyes off the road and reach to the controls.

Same thing here. Really miss the hvac and stereo controls like on our old 98 Explorer Limited. I noticed that our Expy stereo is exactly the same as the on the 98 and on a 01 Navi that also have the steering wheel controls.
Asked the service guy about the sterring wheel, wiring harnesses and air bagbetween the Navi and Expy. He said they are the same parts and harnesses.
I'm hunting for a wrecked Navi with the right wheel - I'll post when I see if it works...
