Unfortunately, in the US steering wheel mounted audio controls are only available on the Sport w/navi. I, like you, am rather annoyed at this oversight. It's already bad enough that here in the US you have to order navi to get VSA -- that I can accept. But not putting audio controls in the steering wheel is surprising, especially since it's available on econoboxes such as the Chevy Aveo. I wouldn't be surprised if it's included in the '10 sport, but I don't want to wait another year just for that. I guess I'll have to get used to changing channels the old fashioned way, which will suck for a while until I detox.
