Accurate information?

Postby davo00 » Wed Dec 31, 2008 12:17 pm

Can anybody tell me where I might get some accurate information without having to speak with some sales person who eats a bowl full of lies for breakfast and regurgitates them all day at work :evil:

Basically, I've ordered a 2.5i and want to have the stereo controls fitted to the steering wheel. For some strange reason, Subaru have decided not to fit this as standard to the 2.5i and have one of those annoying blanks on the steering wheel where the controls should go...... pfft...even my daughter's standard Suzuki Swift has steering wheel controls :?

I just want to know if anybody can tell me who to ring and find out "FOR SURE" whether it can be done or not.

There's a thread in the Audio options forum where a member says that it's both possible and easy. I've posted a question there but so far no reply.

Cheers

Upgrade your order to a 2.5GT

Problem solved, you will have the steering wheel mounted audio controls as you desire (oh, and a turbo ;))

Sorry, my bad. That was a friend's Astra that had it, before upgrading to the 2.5i.
