You would probably have to order a new steering wheel from Honda and it would be really expensive. You could visit the local Honda Dealership and ask the service manager or parts manager about the expense involved. There should be no charge for the estimate. It's my guess that the cost would be over $500.00. |

This depends on whether or not you have the single-disc CD player that is standard in the LX, or the 6-disc in-dash CD player. The steering wheel controls for the radio would not operate the radio unit with the single-disc CD player, however. You would then need to purchase the entire EX radio unit for the steering wheel controls to work, a major expense as well. Not worth the effort, so just extend your right hand over to the big volume knob on the dashboard when you want to change the volume! I can do this without taking my eyes off the road. Paul |

Re: 2004 accord radio control
I know where to get an ex radio fairly cheaply. I know it's easy
enough to reach over, but the wife wants the buttons on the wheel. I'm pretty sure that the cover on the wheel where the buttons go is removeable seperate of the steering wheel, just don't know if the wiring is in place. our sales person thought it would be there, but he was not completely sure.....
