Default Steering wheel controls?

Which model of the 2003 has steering wheel controls? I got a good deal on an Enthuziest in Daytona Blue or a Touring with Navi in Silver.

I'm coming from a 2003 V6 Accord so the steering wheel controls is something im accustomed to.

The last I checked, all cars came with steering wheel controls. How else would you turn or control the car?

lol...ok ok u got me there.

By steering wheel controls i mean like stereo controls. Like volume, MODES, and all that good stuff. I drove my uncle's Pathfinder and it had the volume control on the steering wheel and I loved it.

damn looks like they dont have it on 2003 models. Dont feel like spending thousands on steering wheel controls and have it modded to fit.

I bought a set of 06 controls from local nissan dealer for 80 bucks. I have a AVIC Z1 head unit so the PAC SWI PS connected right to it 45 bucks. I had everything installed by the shop that in stalled the AVIC for 140 bucks. No mods required.

I'm not sure. You may want to direct this to the OP. The directions doesn't look too hard and I'm probably going to attempt this myself in the near future. I assume any place who would try this will ask you sign some sort of waiver since this is not a typical upgrade.
