Will steering controls working if I swap to wheel with controls?

[cam97]

so I have the bog standard big spoke steering wheel in at the moment without controls and was wondering if I buy a flat bottom with controls will they work?

Hi Cameron, the short answer is no as I believe the wiring won't be there for the controls. If it can be done then I suspect you will need to program the steering wheel to the car.

Would a straight up swap fit if I was to keep the buttons non-functioning?

Hey olly, hypothetically yes. It may still need coding to the car though.

And how do you go about coding it to the car?
