Does anybody know of a steering wheel with audio controls to fit my C5?

It would be a lot cheaper and easier to install a DD unit with a remote, That is what I did with my pioneer.

I have the audio controls in my work truck. The stereo in the car is less then a arms reach but i just like the steering wheel controls. I've got a Kenwood single din ipod stereo with a remote.

Not only would you have to find a steering wheel with the control, you'd also have to find a column that would fit with the electronics in it to work the controls.

Sounds like too much work! I'll just duct tape the remote to the steering wheel

It's one feature I actually miss having on the Vette and I'm surprised it wasn't even an option. My 98 G/Prix GTP did.
