Adding Steering Wheel Controls
HAS ANYONE TRIED TO INSTALL RADIO CONTROLS ON A 1LT OR A C6 THAT DID NOT COME WITH THEM? I HAVE AN 08 AND WOULD LIKE TO TRY THE INSTALL IF IT IS POSSIBLE.

Called dealer close to me 2 days ago about the necessary parts, and he stated that it was an entire steering wheel assembly. I too want the radio controls and have no gripe turning a few screws to do so, but not willing to buy an entire steering wheel just to do it.
Have you called the dealer to see if this is a plug and play piece or is it the steering wheel assembly?

i have seen the schematic and it looks like the switch fit in any 07 or 08 steering wheel but i am not sure. i will get this to work on my car i just dont know how long or how much it will cost to do it. i would also like the telescoping wheel feature that will be my next project, but if your right about the buying the whole assembly i might knock out two birds with a single (could be expensive) - stone!

You don't need the whole steering wheel.
I found a link to an HHR site where a guy had done the deed and supplied these part #'s. The HHR wheel looks the same as ours. I haven't confirmed that these exact #'s will work, but my research has shown that the parts for our car are available seperately and these #'s below are listed as 07-08 part #'s
The question is, is the harness from the column to the radio in the car already, it was for the HHR, so ........
Switch $34.14
15842365
Harness $14.81

Module/Cover $18.85

TTT - Anyone on the SWC's. I have a 2006 and need to know if the connectors will work with the NAV unit. I don't like switching from NAV to change radio stations.

The radio will not make use of the new switch inputs until it’s reconfigured. The base U66 option with a Delco amplifier will not work. The premium U65 using a Bose amp will work. Using a Tech2 I had to change the option configuration in the radio from the U66 to the U65 and then the switches worked. I don’t know what issues there could be from telling the radio it’s using a Bose amp when it’s actually a Delco? But everything seems to work ok. I have a feeling some of the difference is with the EQ settings. I know Bose likes to use their own presets programmed into their amps.
Now I just need to decide if I want to spend the $$$ on a new steering wheel…
