Listen "Episode 25: VW ID.4's Biggest Problem SOLVED! Real Steering Wheel Buttons!"
Episode Synopsis
Jan and Wes have successfully replaced the much maligned capacitive
touch steering wheel controls on our ID.4s with REAL MECHANICAL BUTTONS!
Here is the discussion on VWIDTalk:

This requires the buttons, trim, and an airbag removal tool, and some
care. The buttons need a small modification in order to work.
Please post in the comments if you know of newer mechanical buttons that
fit, but use CAN to communicate like our current capacitive buttons.
