Default Steering Wheel with Audio / HVAC Controls

One thing I miss in the Corvette is a steering wheel with audio and HVAC controls on the steering wheel. I have an iPod wired in place of the 12 disk CD changer and love the way it works. I would like to improve it with a sport steering wheel with controls and a new head unit.

Is there any such thing for the Corvette's?

The Sony head unit I got works with a steering wheel add on option and I'm considering getting the extra feature.

hvac controls would be a bit of an undertaking, not impossible but not cheap or easy.

I have seen a couple of RF remote controls that are made to go onto a steering wheel. If you could find one that is universal with reciever that would be the ticket. Then you would have nothing to wire in the steering wheel.

That is my conclusion as well. I get spoiled driving my wife's Yukon with the controls it has. I think the best would be to attach a remote control for the audio, but that may work but will not look as nice.
