Steering Wheel Swap

I am upgrading the radio in my 89 IROC and have been looking at steering wheels with built-in controls for the radio and hands-free. Anyone on here done a 5th or 6th gen camaro steering wheel swap with 3rd gen?

Re: Steering Wheel Swap

Don't think it's possible. On 5th an 6th Gens all those controls and functions go thru the BCM.
And on a personal note, my 91 TA doesnt have steering wheel radio controls, but my 94 TA does......and as close as the radio is to my right hand while driving, i rarely, if ever, use the steering wheel controls.
Seems like a waste of effort.....

Re: Steering Wheel Swap

given I have a touch screen radio and it will mostly be using Apple Car play and hands-free I was honestly hoping just to use controls on the steering wheel
