Re: Prospective T31 owner intro.
Hi Doug and welcome ,
Your member number is X-693
Glad to have you as a formal member of our forum and a potential owner of an xtrail.
I have asked exactly the same question when I first test drove the T31 and was told that someone in head office didn't use their full brain when they decided to bring the T31 to Australia and didn't include the steering audio controls in it 
If the old shape anything to judge this on, this modification is almost impossible, unless you change the entire steering wheel and get a head unit that has a remote control input for the steering connections to connect to.
I have tried doing the same with my model and it proved to be impossible and far beyond obtaining the steering controls. You basically need the spiral cable assembly, the wiring harnesses and finally the factory head unit (like in Europe) to make it work. in summary, a VERY expensive exercise indeed.
As for diesel model, we have discussed that in length in the Series III forum section which you can refer to for more information. The diesel is not yet on the cards for Australia.
There is lots of information around the various threads and I am sure you will be quite busy reading it all.
Please use the search feature of the forum first and post any questions you may have into existing threads where possible. Try to avoid creating a new thread if the topic is already covered, thanks.
Let us know if you need any help with any aspect of the forum and we will be more than happy to assist.
We have set-up quite an extensive forum guide section which you may like to refer to for help and it can be found HERE
As a new member you are encouraged you to familiarize yourself with the following section of the forum: Site Navigation & Forum Guides
If you could update your location and add your name and Exy model into your signature of the Miscellaneous section of the Control Panel it would help us all to answer any future questions you might have.
Now that you are a member of our forum, I am sure you would like to purchase a Member's Pack and gain access to the many purchasing and selling benefits of the forum while at the same time help promote our forum to others ? 
See what is on offer here.
Enjoy your stay with us and let us know if you need any help.

Re: Prospective T31 owner intro.
Hi Doug,
In the Ti model of the T30 the spiral cable is already in the steering wheel for the cruise control but it is the head unit which lacks the connections for the steering wheel controls.
If your T31 also has cruise controls on the steering wheel then you may also have the spiral cable and only need to check or change the head unit and then get the control switches from overseas.

Re: Prospective T31 owner intro.
Sorry Kev, it is a different spiral cable assembly for the steering mounted controls and the one currently in the Ti is not suitable for this.
