Is steering mounted controls really that hard to manufacture?

[Friendstar]

Hey bros,

 

why did manufacturers only include such a feature in their higher end models?

is it really tat hard to put this simple but useful feature in?

[Furrynadz]

wait till u get a car with 80% of controls on steering

[Picanto]

its not hard, but i believe its cost issue factor.

[Wilb]

I think most models have that except for some 1.6 and below cars. if i am not wrong.

 

I believe manufacturers put this feature in only higher end models because those cars are the luxury cars and of course they deserve all those features. While a normal car which is much cheaper, should not have much of this features. Other wise how come there is a difference between Luxury cars and normal cars. The "Class" factor.

 

But i wouldn't be suprised to see them installed in cheaper saloons. Just like Climate control air con.

that is why they (and u) called it higher end models..

basically, when u pay more, u get more..

[RadX]

you pay peanuts u get monkeys.....but here you pay bananas you also get monkeys

 

[Mubarakrashid]

which one monkey prefers? banana or peanut? or it depends on the sexual inclination of the monkeys..?

it's not difficult but of cos extra materials & labour is required, some manufacturers want these controls to be more exclusive on higher end models ,prob 1.8 & above cars so tat buyers will feel more worthwhile & willing to come out with extra cash to buy higher end. the diff between high end and budget cars are not only in engine and exterior but also interior too.

[Friendstar]

yes i understand that its the cost issue.

 

but i mean, is it that costly?

 

its just a few buttons on the steering wheel only wat.

its like if they can include stuff like windows tinting (for toyota wish), why not simple feature like steering mounted controls.

 

maybe some bros here would like to clarify that steering mounted controls are very very difficult to implement and robots cannot mount them but only humans can. i donno i'm just whacking some nonsense analysis.

[RadX]

but maz3...only the higher end has it too is that right??

[RadX]

It is an additional cost wrt the mounting and the wiring, so, whatever it is, it costs differently

[Friendstar]

yes but is it all that exclusive?

 

to me its just a few buttons

whether the cheaper models or higher end models have it makes no difference?

 

BUTTONS!

 

not some massage chair

[RadX]

well...why dun u check with the car manufac and see wat they have to say....

 

I dunno but BMW ALL their models have it...so there

[Friendstar]

ok to me its really a neat feature =)

 

hopefully one day even chery will have it

[RadX]

chery will have levers first......

[Friendstar]

u'r referring to some models right.

[RadX]

actually you can DIY...i believe the most useful is the control of the audio.....

 

if your audio has remote, then mount it on your steering lo...there u have it....steering controls...DIY
