Just joined this site and new into the car modifications, but i was wondering if there was a way to get steering wheel controls or a steering wheel with controls, so i can control my stereo in my 1996 accord...anyone ever heard of this before?

 

Welcome. I'll move this over to the A/V Electronics section - they'll probably know something.

 

depends on the radio you have in the car.

 

WHAT AFTERMARKET RADIO ARE YOU USING? (caps sorry)

Some brands like Pioneer have small remotes that mount on the wheel.\

I have wanted to like them more but the one made for my radio I do not like enough to buy it.

 

@ crispin its a Boss 820UA....its not a big deal if there isnt, i would just prefer using the steering controls.

 

Well when that Boss unit breaks if you buy a Pioneer or Kenwood unit you can get a small remote that mounts to the steering wheel.

 

you could go to a salvage yard, snag the steering wheel controls from that accord, mount them on your steering wheel and run wiring to the HU. then buy the PAC SWI-JACK to interface between the factory controls and the HU. then buy an HU that is compatible with factory steering wheel controls. Pioneer, JVC, Alpine, Kenwood, etc.
