Different steering wheels

[WestCoastSVX]

It would be worth it for the volume controls alone! My other cars have stock steering wheel mounted controls and every time I drive the SVX by habit I try to adjust the radio on the steering wheels and honk the horn instead!

A lot of aftermarket headunits offer an accessory that will make factory steering wheel controls work. But the adapters are usually specific to make/model/year so I doubt they'd have any for the SVX, especially since it only had the controls on JDM cars.

As someone else said though, you could find a steering wheel that you liked the looks of better, that comes with controls you want, and then buy a new headunit and the adapter specific to the car the new steering wheel came from. I'm sure some current Subaru models will fit based on the beginning of this thread, and some variants of those would have mounted audio controls (even Source and such since these are new cars). And since you have a JDM car, you aren't giving up an airbag anyway.

BTW, how many JDM SVXes are driving around up there in Canada?
