^ Patrick looks great. Easy install if you already had the Premium wheel? This might be in my future.

Thanks. It was very easy. However, I had to swap switches because of my Nav.

Thanks to Lexxion for the guidance before instal.

It's night and day difference.

Can you please briefly describe what was involved with the install as far as removing the old Wheel and putting the new wheel on? The switches for me will stay the same because I do not have navigation.

it's very easy.

Disconnect battery, wait 20 minutes.
Pull the rubber plugs on the side of the old wheel and un socket 2 bolts
Carefully pull up on airbag and disconnect 2 color coded wires.
Then gently set the airbag face down on the floorboard
Unplug main center wire harness
Unbolt one big @ss center bolt. No puller necessary.

Pop new wheel straight on and reverse steps.

If you have a 13+ then you will swap the wiring harness. I learned today that the wiring harnesses are all standard on the 10-12 wheels and quite different from the 13 and up.

With consideration to the year, The functionality comes from the switch itself and what the cars computer came built with. I was paranoid that each wheel such as premium, boss, and GT 500 were built with different wires for different options. Nope.
