kongzilla Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I want to know how hard or is it even possible to add the S# button on the steering wheel. I usually drive on I mode. But I'd like a quick hit on the fly to S# to pass someone if I had too. I find it a little time consuming to reach down to turn the knob. My car is a manual. Looks like all the photo that I'm able to find of the S# button is on a auto. Are the compatible? http://images.thecarconnection.com/lrg/2008-subaru-legacy-outback-4-door-h4-auto-ll-bean-w-nav-steering-wheel_100297899_l.jpg http://www.gaywheels.com/images/subaru/legacygt/07_Legacy_spec.B_sportSIDRive_web.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmarko Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 If I'm not mistaken, my '08 Spec B had that there also. I'm 85% sure the 07 and 08 steering wheels are interchangeable, the question is...is your car wired properly to have it there? That I have no idea. lol.

Code Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I thought the button was added on '09 models. "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well." - Bill Shakespeare - car modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkonmonk Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have the button on my 08GT Manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongzilla Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Looks like I mode is on the left side and s# is on the right. I wonder if there is a schematic for the wiring or if there is an adapter harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkonmonk Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The 'I' in the box and the arrow buttons above and below is for the information in the center of the IP for cycling through things like mileage, outside temp, etc. The 'I' button specifically is for more information if any is available like if you have some sort of schedule set up in the car for event reminders or something. The S# button just turns the car to Sport#, after it is warmed up of course, and then when pressed again returns it to the previously set mode whether it be Sport or Intelligent modes. Hope this helps. Monk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenryiv1 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have an "S" button that came off of a steering wheel that I bought. If someone wants to throw me a few bucks they can have to to try out. Basically cover shipping costs and it is yours.

bmx045 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 that's an unusual picture considering 1. it's an 08+, 2. it's an auto, 3. it has SI drive but 4. doesn't have paddle shifters. all USDM 07+ auto gt's came with si drive and paddle shifters (and 3.0r's for that matter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the wheel-side pigtails are there. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k271/phenryiv1/For%20Sale/LStuff.jpg Patrick Looking for spacers or adapters to install aftermarket speakers in the doors of your Legacy?

subiedad51 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 FYI - 08 wheel and 07 are not the same. I tried it on my LGT. You'll need the aribag since it's different if you want to even try it. You'll also need to figure out the wiring since it's not in the harness that currently hooked up to an 07 wheel.

mass-hole Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 What exactly does the up/down arrow buttons, and the "i" button control? The display in the dash? Is the 08-09 displays the same? I am interested because I am not a fan of the momo wheel on my spec b. Its like holding a rock. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested because I am not a fan of the momo wheel on my spec b. Its like holding a rock. Thanks The up/down arrows cycle through the multi-function display. Odometer, MPG, stupid throttle angle graphic, trip time. The "i" just brings up any information message such as door open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
