intro- just got an 05 nox...lt awd... and let me say i miss some of the features of my former mazda3....not to mention the aftermarket....

most notably steering wheel controls.....i know higher models have these controls, but mine just has cruise...

has anybody done the swap? if so, plug n play i assume.....

if not, guess ill have to be the first.....

I don't think these controls were even available in the older models. So putting a new wheel on won't give you any ability.

You can also definitely upgrade the head unit to accommodate these features!

Doesn't look like that wheel comes with the airbag...but I do see one for sale there @$133.17. The wiring for the controls that are missing on your current wheel could be a problem though..
