Lighted Radio contols

Has anyone thought about replacing the 03-04 radio controls on the steering wheel with the controls that come on the 05? Would that work? How much?

Thanks!

Don't know how much, but I will be looking into this as I'm interested in this mod. My guess somewhere around $200 for the OEM parts at least.

Do you guys really find it that necessary? When looking into my car, I read some reviews commenting on this. But when I got my Coupe it took me about a day or two of driving before all the steering wheel controls became second nature. Everything is nicely positioned so you easily remember which buttons do what.

It's mainly for looks, since there are so many orange buttons lit up on the console. If it turns out to be an easy mod, I'll do it.

Re: Lighted Radio contols

Lit cruise control buttons would be nice as I don't use them often. If it's not too much for the parts and the install is easy, I'd consider doing this.
