Random question????

Steering wheel controls for the stereo, do they light up????????

Picked up Henry last week, and drove him at night for the first time yesterday (damn clocks goin back ) and noticed the stereo buttons on the steering wheel weren't lit
I'm sure when i test drove the demonstrator they did
Can anyone confirm this please, or am i gettin confused with another car i've driven??????

Cheers, Stu

no they don't light up I'm afraid

I think they do on the leon tho

Yeah, do on Leon & Altea, but not on Ibiza

dont in mine but they donk work either as ive removed seat headunit wonder if you can get them to light up by installing bulbs and that mmmm wil think about that!

Once you've driven it for a while you'll get used to it and know where all the buttons are - no real need for them to light up really.

Fancy doing a swap of steering wheels if you dont use your buttons
I love looking at them in the Leon as you turn the wheels. Makes your eyes go funny... wouldnt recomend it! always focus on the road

but the plain steering wheel looks very boring so it still has some use to it lol but might be poping old headunit in again so dont want to get rid

 

[meknoy]

Fair enough. worth an ask I supose. Wish I asked for it as an option now. The original standard does look boring. But I prefer the chunkyness to it as apposed to the Leon's.

I have them on my astra company car and they are quite cool and not off putting at all

It has been done by someone - think it was on the 'other' forum. Was a right pig I seem to remember...
