hmm. unfortunately the above is not true.

the swc are directly linked to the stereo and do not go through the bcm. in order to work other things such as a/c etc, you would need to add them to the variant configuration of the BCM which on a corsa has fixed parameters and is therefore not pheasable.

I find it much easier to use the radio/CD controls on the player, than to use the steering wheel controls !
BUT, can these steering wheel controls be used for other things, such as to
turn on/off air con for a short power burst, air recirc so I dont have to breathe smelly diesel from filthy trucks, etc. , or to operate other electric stuff.
Some controls are currently tiny buttons on the dashboard, and are are difficult/dangerous to use at speed.
