question about options on your vette!
there is one option that is missing on all corvettes..radio steering controls..now i'm not really complaining because the radio is not a far reach from your right hand, but i'm surprised that GM has them on almost every car except for the corvette!
does somebody have a answer why?

Its because you need one hand to drive and the other to wave, so no hands free for buttons to control the radio
and they gave us the steering colum lock option instead!

Give me a radio, air conditioning, and power window delete package and I'd be a happy camper.

I just wish my had that simple HomeLink 3 button thing on the sunvisor. I can't believe they never did that on the C5's

My 3 button remote fits perfectly in the ashtray compartment with the ashtray removed, so I'm covered for all my remote control needs. In fact, the remote fits so well, people ask me if it came with the car! 
It doesn't move around at all, I can close the compartment door, and it's black with white buttons, so it really does look like it belongs in that spot. If you want pics, let me know.

my 94' formula firebird had the big giant radio buttons that all the early-mid 90's pontiacs had, it would have been so easy to add the controls, I have no idea why the vette didn't ever get them til recently. The smaller redesigned buttons on my 00' t/a could have easily been adapted, shucks, even the CARMARO had them!

Not to hijack this thread, or anything, but I thought I'd reply here instead of cluttering up your PM box.

It doesn't move around at all, I can close the compartment door, and it's black with white buttons, so it really does look like it belongs in that spot. If you want pics, let me know.

I, I, I, I don't know 
Maybe it's just a cost thing and something extra to go wrong!
I've actually noticed that on my other car with the steering wheel control for the radio, that I don't use it and when I attempt too I get more distracted then using the stereo controls!
Thanks,Matt
