Awesome speed limit pick!! 
Mine don't work either. I'll have to check it out. Of course I have a different stereo too. Too much to do, so little time...

DTC B2810 Steering Whl Ctrl Entertainment CKT Malf
Circuit Description
The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches that connect a series of resistors so that each switch selection corresponds to a fixed resistance value. These fixed resistance values allow the Dash Integration Module (DIM) to identify which switch has been pressed. The DIM upon receiving and identifying the switch input, will send a class 2 message to the radio in order to carry out the request.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition must be turned on.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
An entertainment switch must be stuck (pressed) for at least 30 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The DIM will ignore all switch commands.
DTC B2810 will set current as long as the fault is present.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The stuck switch condition must be corrected.
The DTC can be cleared with a scan tool.
The history DTC will clear after 50 fault free ignition cycles.

What/where should I be looking now. All the buttons light up and before they went dead some would work, others would not.
Also, non related, the MFS(Multifunction Switch) for the Highbeams seems to have taken a hike as well. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

OK, you need to test the resistance at the wiring harness. Two of the wires are for the lights. The other two you need to measure the resistance across them.
When you press buttons, the resistance should indicate:
Volume up - 1564 ohms
Volume down - 1912 ohms
Band - 3102 ohms
The service manual says in one place that you have to test across A & B, and in another it says A & C. :?
I would say try to find the two that will light the lamps with 12V, then you know it is the other two that you need to test.
