Anyone have a brz with the stereo wheel control?

The BRZ doesn't have stereo controls on the steering wheel. Now this controlling it from the Cruise Control stalk, idk. I guess I'll try it here in a bit.

That would mean that there has to be someway to create some add-on steering wheel controls for our car. Anyone else interested in this?

Steering wheel controls on the 2013 Scion tC

These are really the only controls I'd consider. The controls in the OP don't look aesthetically appealing at all, IMO.

I know this has been posted before, but it looks pretty good. Still don't care for steering wheel controls though. The volume, skip, etc. buttons are so close to my hand on the HU.

Remember the photos were something I made over 10 years ago. And yes they would look stupid on an FRS. I was just trying to start talk of a way to do it using bluetooth. Making it look good is the next step.

Yeah, didn't work, but I tried.

I went over the manuals. Nothing in there I could find.

This is JUST AN IDEA, but I wonder if it's possible to swap the Scion tC steering wheel onto the car... with the steering wheel controls integrated already. Or maybe a Toyota steering wheel so that I can match my JDM "T" badges on the rest of the car.

Said it before, with stock stereo, I don't miss steering wheel crap. Buttons are well within reach and easy to do. It is not like your changing the station in a 3/4g turn and cant hit them. Bspoke, I could not see need for me.

Yeah, I wouldn't complain if I had the regular head unit, but the BeSpoke is tricky to hit buttons accurately when you are driving.
