Default Radio Schematic for steering wheel controls, WANTED


2000 Audi S4

Does anyone have a schematic of the radio? My S4 doesn't have radio steering wheel controls and I would like to add some switches to my steering wheel to control my radio. This picture shows what some of the pins do, but not quite what I'm after.

Can anyone explain what some of the other pins are for?
I assume the middle plug with the picture of the speakers and + - is just signal going to the speakers.

What does the "option" section control? What do the Audi's with the steering wheel controls wire up to?

Thanks

Default The steering wheel is for steering.

Default My Jeep has steering wheel audio controls and I love it. I wish the S4 had them.

Default i would guess its the option section, didnt A6s have a stereo controls on the wheel option?

maybe someone with ETKA can look it up, see if the parts can be purchased on their own.

Default Why?. The radio is not far to push buttons. Display is on trip display.

Are you just a geek (EE or ME) or is there some value in this? Please explain..

Default Strange how the majority of people just like to complain

I would think that in an Audi forum where obviously if you're posting or reading here you just might have an interest in your car and want to expand your horizon. But majority of the responses are unhelpful and only posted to belittle others ideas. Didn't your mother ever tell you if you have nothing good to say don't say it at all?

I just figured there might be some helpful enthusiasts that have also had the vision and ability to modify their car on their own.

And as to a steering wheel is for steering, well ok if that's all you can handle. My past BMW's have always had the radio control on the wheel. I've always enjoyed not having to take my hands off the wheel to adjust the volume.

Default If I had a schematic I would have given it to you earlier. But I do not..

My X3 has controls on the steering wheel as you mentioned. I so far have not seen this as a large problem on my S4 as I mostly use my Phatbox MP3 player and it has voice cue's for song selection.

Default I love the steering wheel controls too. Especially the ones my wifes 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee had

Then we traded it in on her Lexus IS300 and when i drove it for a few months i would find myself playing with the back of the steering wheel to control it, but to realize they aren't there......lol
