I have a U.S. base S60 2.4 which does not include the steering-wheel stereo controls. Does anyone know if these can be added by the dealer, and if so, how much they should cost?

I would guess the computer would need to be re-programmed for them to work. (As a side-note, my S60 arrived without the ground lighting feature on the driver side-view mirror. The dealer replaced the mirror, but actually had to download new software to get it to work!!!)

Thanks.

Sounds like quite an undertaking I too have the base 2.4 but haven't even considered such a mod. It's one of those things that unless it came on the car probaly isn't worth trying. For the price of the upgrade you probably would've been half way to the price of a 2.4T with the controls on the wheel from the factory.
If you do pull it off...keep us posted...good luck

I finally found a dealer who was able to add the steering wheel radio controls to a base S60 (U.S.). Parts came to $125, labor to $70, for a total of $195.

That's great! Please share the part numbers. And if you can the labor breakdown so I can try to get the same deal from my local dealer

I'd also be interested in these part numbers.

My service department said it couldn't be done and if it could, it would cost way too much.

Has anyone successfully added the audio controls to a 2.4? Let me know, so far noone seems to know.
