I've been searching for the relevant info and can't find exactly what I'm after, so I'll just ask the question.

How hard is it to fit a genuine steering wheel control to a TL VR-X? Does the clock ring in the TL work out of the box or do need a downer ring dorm another model? Are there any other specific looms that you need?

Thanks in advance for your input...

You will need a clockspring from an xi verada. I have a spare if you need one.
Also, not sure the loom is in TL's.

I might take you up on that clock spring. I'm looking into the loom, I think I might need to check with Mal on that on, unless some one else knows.
