How can I add Stereo Volume & Channel controls to the Steering Wheel? 2008 Shelby GT

Hey everybody,
How can I add Stereo Volume & Channel controls to the Steering Wheel?
Was such an option available as a factory option? Please advise. If not, are there any 3rd Party aftermarket applications that could be recommended?
The car I'm talking about is an '08 Shelby GT. I figure if such a factory option was available that it would be available for all models from the V6 'Stang to the GT500KR. Would love to have this convenience in my car and want to keep both hands on the wheel.
Thanks!
John

I dont ever remember it being an Option for the Mustang.. You might be able to use a Steering Wheel and Wiring Harness from a Ford Vehicle that did have it such as the Lincoln.

My car is not a mustang, however, it has they and i can tell you that you probly will hardly ever use it. For me, it is just habit to reach for the radio.....i dont even think to use the wheel controls unless i force myself to.

Best Regards,
Vern

I will admit this is about the only thing missing on the Bullitt; admittedly something I can live without, but I was a little surprised given my wife & daughter's Mazda 3's both came with steering wheel mounted radio controls.

I do wish I'd have ordered the iPod integration accessory (not sure what it's called offhand), since having the iPod in the console or on the shift boot and using its controls is a little awkward.

Do these things detract from my enjoyment of the Bullitt? Heck no! Just little niceties that would be, well ... nice.
