just for those out there that do not know - to enable the steering wheel controls - You have to make sure the shifter itself is in tiptronic mode as well as the steering wheel shift mode is set to on.

there is a switch near the shifter that you have to flick on, then it should work.

there is also a button as mentioned above you have to press to engage the steering wheel controls. its on the plstic trim right near the gear lever

I had the same problem in my old r34 so for anyone else that may have this issue.

To access the stereo you need to take off the trim around the shifter and unplug the switch and cigarette lighter.

I forgot to plug it back in when i put the trim back on and i couldn't figure it out.

Might be the same for new owners if the previous owner didn't plug it back in. or might have just fell out.

Ugh wish i didn't sell her.

Cant wait to get a GTR one day
