Should be a screw behind each one holding them to the wheel, undo those and then carefully tug on the switches and they should come off.

if you change the controls from buttons to the wheel im sure they will not work

or at least thats what i was told

Buttons from what I've read on here are half canbus cars and scroll buttons are full canbus cars.

Correct, they won't work. Its major hassle to do it and not sure anyone has bothered.

Won't work m8

As has already been said, 3 buttons either side are half canbus and scroll wheels are full canbus.

will changing the wheel make any diff..not to sure what canbus is all about

Nope!

If you have a half canbus car you cannot fit any full canbus parts.

CANbus is the method the car uses to talk to various parts and is all done by ECU's sending signal rather than voltage to do the switching.
