Re: Auto steering controls - Onehand
While they have wonderful stuff none of it is for my vehicles.
I have RTBPI and simply bought a spinner for the steering wheel. I leave the wheel cranked over so the largest hole is on the right, reach thru and insert the key and turn it on. The other controls are on the left and I have wheel control radio buttons. It's not perfection but it allows me to go without help driving. Course texting and driving is a bad idea with this problem!!
