What options are available on C7 Paddle Shift Steering Wheels?

I am hoping to find radio controls on one side and cruise control on the other side.

Thank you,

That's a confusing question. All c7 steering wheels are configured that way. There are no options for oem steering wheel configuration.

I did a search before posting on the forum.
I found a lot of pictures of different steering wheels.
Mind you - they could be from C6 too, or even aftermarket, and I would never know the difference.
I thought there were ones with phone and cruise control but no radio
Or ones with phone and radio but no cruise control.

If anyone has a good close up of the entire steering wheel - What I am hoping to find is round steering wheel (no flat spot on the bottom) with Paddle Shifting - Radio controls and Cruise Control all on the steering wheel.
And if you also happen to have one for sale please let me know.

Thank you,

Not sure! Do you assume a lot? Oh wait - silly me - I already know the answer to that.
EDIT - I forgot to say. If you would have read the post above, hours before, yours - you have seen I did search.

FYI:
1. I use a different search engine.
2. I did a couple of searches different ways before posting here.. (C6 by it self - C7 by it self and then just Corvette paddle shift steering wheel.)
3. Some pictures were hard to tell what they had to offer and I don't like to guess.
4. Not 100% sure on my part - I thought I would ask those in the know with first hand knowledge.
5. And not assume like some or be one like you.


To everyone else thank you for you help.
Sincerely,

I've ordered a hell of a lot of cars in my lifetime and I've never seen (a) different steering wheels configuration(s) in the order guide. But maybe that's just my experience.

Bob,

I have never purchased a new car.
I see the C6 came with controls on just one side. But since it is not what I am looking for I have since forgotten what they even controlled.
I also see that C7 with auto and manual have different steering wheels - but can come with paddles too.

Again I rather ask those who know - than guess.

Again, I've never seen an order guide that lets you choose between different steering wheel options. Point being, AFAIK, there is no such choice in most any (non-exotic ... American?) car. I'm sure someone will come along and tell me about a car that you can order with an optional steering wheel, but I've never seen it myself (and I'm old).

The paddles are on the M7 as well as the A8 because it's cheaper/easier for Chevy to make ONE steering wheel instead of (gasp!) have to make different ones.

On the M7, the paddles don't shift gears -- they are for turning the rev matching on and off. It was also a way to avoid trying to add more buttons to the already clustered up dash.
