steering wheel audio controls i'm putting in a pioneer stereo, but dont wanna pay the $75 for the adapter for the steering wheel audio controls to work. the paint is coming off of the buttons anyway. does anyone know where i can possibly get inserts to replace the controls so it doesnt look like i have holes in my steering wheel? or any other suggestions?
Are you sure the paint is coming off, or are they just getting a layer of dirt on them? (The color should be molded in to the plastic.)
Try taking some dilute rubbing alcohol (there are usually several strengths you can get in the drug store) and rubbing down the buttons lightly. Then wipe with a cloth and let air dry for a couple of minutes. The buttons should then look like new.

The paint on my buttons is coming off as well, it has bits of black showing on the bottom and top from where the button is mostly pressed from
Was thinking of taking it to homedepot or lowes to match the paint butttt, not that important

the plastic is showing. underneath is white. and the buttons are malfunctioning any way. i could buy buttons to replace them, but i'd rather not have them on the steering wheel. i was hoping that somebody could direct me somewhere that i could buy inserts to put in the holes on the steering wheel after i pulled them out
