04 ES330 want audio controls on steeringwheel
 

Hi I have an 04 ES330 with a build date of 1/04
I have a ML sound system, NAV and a 6 CD in cr console.

I want to upgrade to a steering wheel with audio controls. Any suggestions ?
I know I will need the audio buttons, new wheel , new air bag to fit. Will I also need part of the wiring harness from behind the clock spring to the radio ?

Any assistance would be helpful.

Thanks

I've never seen or heard of one without steering wheel controls. Did the PO replace the wheel with an aftermarket?

Yeah, don't know anyone who has attempted this. Anything's possible, but I don't think that it's worth the effort. Plus the color/style of the wood grain and leather changed significantly on the 05-06's.

Here's the cheap and cheesy way to do it:

Get a universal steering wheel audio control adapter. It probably won't work with your stock radio though.

The ES's controls are very simple and easy to reach. I say keep your stock steering wheel.

If you want to spend money on your car, start with the wheels and tires

Thanks for the replys

As I've said, it's an early build 04 ES 330 (build date of 1/04)
Steering wheel is stock, never had radio controls on steering wheel.

I don't mind spending the money ~ $150 on e-bay complete steering wheel, air bag (because there different), but has integrated audio controls. Or do I need the complete column ?

I know it's the same clock spring, I just don't know the cable behind the clock spring to back of radio ? Nav? or where ever.

I want to keep is OEM :

Can someone direct me to a radio/Nav wiring diagram (please)
