This has always bothered me. Anyone know why they didn't do this? In my TL, every steering wheel is illuminated. I've gotten use to it and when I drive the MDX (which is the wife's) I always scratch my head wondering.

 

they should be illuminated...

 

They dont illuminate on the 05. I've never had an issue. They were probably just lazy to add the feature.

 

whoops, I though he was talking about an 07+

 

I believe illuminated steering wheel controls weren't added until 07. My 04 doesn't illuminate either.
