Steering wheel spinner knobs and driving aids are specialized equipment designed to assist individuals with disabilities in operating a vehicle safely and comfortably. Driving aids range from turn signal extenders to parking brake extensions and any other adaptive equipment that controls the primary or secondary functions of a vehicle.
We work with all the top manufacturers, including MPD, EMC, Veigel, MPS, Sure-Grip, Wells-Enberg, and BraunAbility, Menox.
Sure Grip A600 steering wheel spinner knob is a basic mechanical driving aid that assists drivers in turning their vehicle’s steering wheel. The clam-shell design makes mounting easy for a one-size-fits-all application. It uses high-speed bearings for smooth, easy rotation.
The device is equipped with a quick-release button for easy knob removal. This device is available in black or a wood grain finish.
This type of steering wheel control is ideal for the independent driver with minimal grip strength or reduced wrist stability. The tri-pin steering aid is considered a more advanced steering device.

The steering wheel extension is a beautiful solution for drivers with limited limb length. It is designed to bring the factory steering wheel closer to the driver.

If you use hand controls or other handicapped driving aids to operate your car, truck, van, or SUV, do you find operating your vehicle’s secondary controls difficult? (For example, turn signals, horns, wipers, etcetera.) We have the solution!
Today, many manufacturers, like Veigel and Sure-Grip, provide a solution to the problem called multi-function electronic hand controls. These secondary adaptive driving controls allow the driver to operate the mechanical aspects of their adaptive equipment and incorporate the ability electronically to safely and easily operate their vehicle’s secondary controls.
These adaptive controls integrate directly into your vehicle’s current design and can even be wireless in some cases. Several adaptive secondary control devices are available, some of which can attach directly to mechanical hand controls or steering wheels. To learn more or check if secondary driving controls are proper for you and your vehicle, contact one of our mobility consultants or your CDRS.
An AVQ switch provides audio and visual feedback on your vehicle’s secondary switch selection. Once activated, the system scans your programmed functions. When an audio or visual indicator queues your desired function, push the button again to activate the selection.
The Sure Grip Sure-Switch is a four-button secondary feature control switch for your car, truck, van, or SUV that attaches to the handle of your mechanical driving hand controls. It controls various secondary driving functions while your hands remain in contact with your primary driving controls.
The Sure-Switch can be programmed to control headlights, turn signals, hazard flashers, and horns. A second Sure-Switch can be added to control additional features, such as wipers.

The Sure-Grip EZ Spin RF360 is also a six-button wireless ergonomic spinner knob that is fully customizable to allow for any variation of secondary driving control operations. At the same time, your hands remain on the steering wheel. The EZ Spin utilizes your vehicle’s Bluetooth capability to communicate with the control module.
The Sure-Grip RF Mini is available in various sizes with variable button layouts. It works like a traditional steering wheel spinner knob while providing users with switches to operate their vehicle’s secondary functions. It is fully customizable and ergonomically designed for easy use.

Do you have a limited range of motion? Look to adaptive extension aids to regain your independence. The gear shift selector shown below from Veigel allows a driver to operate a console-mounted gear selector easily. Models are also available for floor console and dashboard-mounted gear selectors.
This type of extension allows for the turn signal operation from the right side of the steering column instead of the left. It installs without damaging your vehicle’s original operating device.
This driving aid allows the user to operate the turn signals while driving using a control arm mounted much lower on the steering column. This is an excellent choice for a person with limited vertical movement. The device can be used while keeping one’s hands on a set of driving hand controls. The device mounts without damaging the vehicle’s original operating lever.
The parking brake extenders from Veigel and Sure-Grip allow your console-mounted parking brake to operate more easily. Many other adaptive driving aids often require the parking brake to be engaged first, making this one of the most common mobility driving aids installed.
This extension makes the operation of the parking brake easy and safe. The sturdy materials can be customized in various lengths. Versions are available for floor-mounted and console-mounted parking brakes.
