Yea that was my initial plan but the radio button would be much better as you could hold the wheel with your hand and the button with your thumb where the horn takes your whole hand to use it

On my 1999 the horn button is on the side of the wheel where if I'm grabbing the wheel then I just hit it with my thumb.

I was considering this as well last year, but never got around to it. I would imagine it shouldn't be difficult to wire.

It takes a little bit to get it done. You have to take the switch apart and get the diodes off the board and solder some wire in its place and then you will need to know what wires go thru the air bag coil to the radio to use to trigger the negative on the relay for the solenoids.

Its neat and knowbody knows its there.
