I guess you've convinced me to stick with my console and just take out the factory head unit. I didn't realize that the shape of the dash was different from the 2000 to the 2003. (Don't feel like doing any hacking )

Not sure if I should create a new thread for this; however, is it at least possible to get a steering wheel with buttons on it for my 2000 ?

Thanks again !

most likely not, since the wiring harness within the steering wheel is almost definately different.

I'm planning on using the buttons to control the computer

In no way will they be used to control anything factory. . .

I would hope at least structurally the steering wheels should be interchangeable.

the wiring within the steering colum for the wheel controls is probably not there, thats what i was reffering to.

I've seen a couple of carputers w/ factory steering buttons rigged up & even one w/ the stock radio buttons set up; but they were much more time consuming and expensive than the guys thought they would be.

I've also seen a couple where a mini-keyboard was disassembled and placed around the steering wheel, which was a lot easier, but less OEM looking.

My advice would be to get the Lilliput touchscreen & just use a USB cordless mouse until you have the carputer finished. THEN refine the input interface.
