I cant see there being any problems. Just unscrew that side and clip the loom.
Why?

yep, just take your airbag off and unscrew the buttons - 2 phillips head screws hold them on.
why do you want to remove them though?

Well i want to finally get a CD Player in my car, and Strathfield Car Radios cant hook it up to the existing buttons on the steering wheel, and it would look stupid having those buttons if i cant use them. but i want the cruise control still. I was going to get a CD/MP3 player and use the pocket, but a full screen taking up the whole unit would look mad.

Any installer should be able to get them working. What H/U are you installing?

If you get 2 remotes with your headunit , and if you can afford to spare 1 for a mod , and providing you know some basic electronics , it would be fairly easy to mount 1 of the remotes (modded) behind the headunit hidden away. You could quiet easilly power the modded remote from the cars power instead of a tiny battery , then wire the steering wheels radio buttons up to the remote to over-ride the buttons on the remote. You could make just about any headunit work with the buttons this way . cheers.

My Alpine head unit use's a wireless connection for its controls and it will cost a heap to make my current controls on the steering wheel work with it. (have to buy a wireless peice and convert from BMW etc to be compatible...)
Or i could be possible play with the wireing from the remote but i dont know how and dont know how weel it would work. So i just left the buttons there as it would look rather lop sided with just one set of buttons there, even though they dont work as of yet.

You can buy a few adapters. Lightning Audio & Stinger make one. There is also another popular one.
Expect to pay about $100-200 fitted. Do a search, it's been covered many of times. I should do an article on it.

I'd leave the buttons on there for when it's time to sell the vehicle.
