I also wouldn't mind a thicker wheel, stock one is like holding a pencil.

Is it just me or is the wheel diameter bigger with those buttons?...

My thoughts as well. Would be really nice.

Something tells me I should get a board etched for my hacked steering wheel controls and sell it to you.

I really don't want SWC, but I wouldn't mind some simple volume and seek buttons added to the console somewhere. I want a button for next track not a touch screen.

I was thinking of adding them to the left of the volume knob. The circuit looks very simple, just need a pig tail for the radio connector.

Had them in the legacy. Don't really miss them. Not like anything is exactly far in the BRZ...

Rather than asking for steering wheel controls, all I ask for is a software upgrade to the head unit to make the damn buttons bigger.

I'm surprised how many people want steering wheel controls. My last two cars had them, but I don't miss them at all. It's pretty easy to reach the HU, at least from my seating position.

they could just give us the TC2 wheel

Give people steering wheel controls and they complain about hitting them when they don't intend to, take them away and people complain they have to use the controls on the head unit. What won't people complain about?

Lol I think that could be said about anything where an end user is involved. "I payed for it it should fit my needs exactly, no compromise". That being said, having it as an option would seem the way to go. Then again, people would probably complain about the price. Oh well.
