Hi,

 

My Trail Boss came with the base radio and no steering wheel control to adjust volume and station control.  It is something I had in my last car (Im missing it) and with the way my dog likes to sit in the middle seat its kind of annoying to reach over.  Does anyone know if this is a simple addition or not possible?  Thanks for any input... Kev

This is the main reason I am not getting the Custom trim level Trail Boss.  I just find it hard to believe that a leather wrapped steering wheel with controls aren't standard on a $40k+ vehicle...

OTOH, it's' hard to believe people buy a $40k+ vehicle without ensuring it has the options that are important to them....

Yeah the base models don’t get the buttons on the back unfortunately.

 

I wouldn’t imagine it being a simple addition either. But with a lot of these things it’s just too early to know. Not enough people have been tinkering.

 

Maybe you could do a search in the K2 forums as it was a similar situation with those trucks. It probably wouldn’t be the same exact process, but you could get an idea of what it takes.

Thanks OTR, was hoping for a quick simple solution.  Will have to do some reading I guess.  Thanks!

Has anybody tried to pop the blank cover off to see if the wiring is there - if so it might be possible to purchase the switch and add it ??

The wiring going to the steering wheel probably costs GM more than the switches themselves. I’d be really surprised if it were there, and you’d have to wonder why they didn’t just put the damn switches in!

I bought an LT.  Thanks to this thread, I found out I had volume controls on the backside (right) of the steering wheel.  On the left are some buttons to let you skip to next channel, track whaever. I had no idea they were there, but it also explains a ghost or two in the machine.

      Gas Prices

      I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.
