so the music control and bluetooth calling buttons on the left side of the steering wheel are not working. The cruise control buttons on the right work just fine but none of the left buttons do... any ideas guys? what should i check or change?

i have an 06 AT coupe with sport package btw

 

Personally, I would try hitting it with force...I found that fixes many things in this car.

 

lol i hope you arent serious

 

it fixed my cd player and anything else that made a rattling sound lol.

 

Hey did you ever find out what was the cause for the controls not working?

 

Repost in electronics section. I think that the circuit board for the radio, etc. failed. Lots of knowledgeable people on other section.

 

so not long ago i accidentally hit the volume up button as i was turning the steering wheel and the controls worked!!! i tested again with teh steering set straight and they didnt work..... i turned the wheel 45degrees and the controls work....

this is the weirdest ****...
anyone have any ideas on why they only work when the steering wheel is turned sideways?

 

Loose connections?

 

Mine is under warranty and just had them replace the switch 2 weeks ago. It made the problem better but not fixed. Taking it back tomorrow to have them look at the radio as well. One other odd thing I've noticed is the steering wheel control coincides with my sub getting quiet. I think it's the radio circuit board as well from what I've heard.

 

i havent noticed the sound get any lower or anything

 

The only thing audio wise that got quieter was the bass (which made me think amp). The dealership today called and said it was the audio board and a new radio is on the way.

 

Since the dealear replaced the audio control board (radio), my steering wheel controls are working correctly again. Hope this helps.

 

I had the same issue, I replaced the clock springs and voila, everything worked like new. It cost me $150 on ebay.

 

My volume button and Seek/track button stopped responding I changed my stereo to a double din pioneer and added the steering wheel controls. It stopped responding before I changed the stereo. Volume works only when you turn the steering wheel but not when it's straight. My question is was this the part you bought from ebay? http://www.ebay.com/itm/171122896027... 4.m1423.l2649

or the entire assembly? with turn signal/Wiper?

 

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I have the EXACT same thing going on with my 05'.
