i realised that when i looked at my friend's new 2K1 max, we have different steering wheels! i LOVE my 2K race-style steering wheel! i'm glad for this! it feels SO much better and it doesn't feel so much like a sedan!


oh yeah, hi everybody! haven't talked to you in a while! how've you been???

 

Hey welcome back to the GXE rules club!!!

2k Maxima GXE power!!!!!!

 

AMEN

 

Well I know 2000 rules and all that, but I didn't know about the difference. I'll check it out. I know they have the extra redundant audio controls, but I didn't know the wheel changed. I think the redundant controls are not needed. The stereo is already in a good location, unlike some cars with a low set setup.

 

hehe, the GXE club??? Everyone knows GLE's are the best...

 

no way dudes!! the audio controls on the steering wheel is the best thing that happened to the maxima. having it is like going from auto to 5 speed... you dont go back. thats the only thing keeping me from changing my steering wheel to a momo or buying a new head unit. im afraid i wont be able to control the radio from my steering wheel. you're right though, it does look pretty bad, but the comfort of being able to change stations or track without reaching makes it worth it.

 

Them are fightin' words!

Come on now, we all know that SE's own joo!

 

areX, your sig pic makes your car look like some weirdo-rich-luxury-car!

the angle, location, and background makes it work so well. and the stock rimz remind me of the benz e-class rims...

wierd!

 

That's what I'm talking about!!! But the thing i most like about my Max is that I can tell it apart from all the other Camry's and Accord's littering the lot.

 

LOL! i was AT a weirdo-rich-luxury-house when i took that pic!

 

GLE! or i will pee!

lol i cant think of a good rhyme

 

I agree.. My dad has got a 2k1 gxe and I hate his steering wheel... it's the same that's in my wife's pathfinder (at least the feel) ... so I have much more love for my 2k steering wheel

 

the only gripe about the 2k SE wheel is the lack of audio controls

and maybe that it is kinda big. My knees hit it getting in and out of the car.... but I can live with that.

 

haha i thought i was the only one who's weird about the radio controls.. i love them!! and its one of the main reasons i didn't switch head units as well, however i heard somewhere they sell an adapter that will connect an aftermarket head unit to the steeringwheels controls.. i think it's made by lightning audio.. i'll try and find out more info

 

coolness... if you do find out, pleasssse tell me.

 

What's a race style wheel? Does it come off?

I actually paid close attention to the steering wheel yesterday. My hands automatically go to the 3-9 position, its thick enough to grip easily and there's even indents on the back of the wheel for my fingers. The audio controls are a real bonus, and can be maniputlated without taking my hands off the wheel. Very good design.

When I was learning the positions of all the steering wheel buttons, I wanted them lit, but now realize that would have driven me crazy...

What's different between the 2K and 2K1 steering wheels?

 

Welcome back Alex.

Where have you been anyways?

Never looked at the 2k steering wheel closeup. Gotta love my radio controls though. I'm so used to using my thumb to change stations/tracks that when I change cars, I have to make a mental adjustment in order to play with the radio.
