In addition to Bill's insights, you will also probably need to purchase the
EX radio. This depends on whether or not you have the single-disc CD player
that is standard in the LX, or the 6-disc in-dash CD player. The steering
wheel controls for the radio would not operate the radio unit with the
single-disc CD player, however.

You would then need to purchase the entire EX radio unit for the steering
wheel controls to work, a major expense as well. Not worth the effort, so
just extend your right hand over to the big volume knob on the dashboard
when you want to change the volume! I can do this without taking my eyes
off the road.
