2012 Mustang premium steering wheel on a base
Does anyone know what is required to get a premium steering wheel/audio controls to work on a base? Is it simply plug and play? Not sure how relevant but I'll be installing an aftermarket double din head unit using a metra kit.

link or something to go on?
I've searched all over and the results are sparse and inconsistent. I'm planning on the audio control module needing flashing and potentially some wiring harness mods if I attempt it. Though I did pickup a metra dash kit which according to metra will attempt to talk to the car, presumably the ACM, and program the controls. If correct still may or may not require flashing from a premium/boss model, I don't know. I'd kinda figured at first they'd all use the same harness like a lot of cars do for a lot of things but I've read plenty to the contrary.

For What it is Worth the Dash Harnesses are Different for Each Radio Style.

Well I got my metra dash kit and JVC head unit installed. Won't be using idatalink as metra advised me they don't always work well together. Found a decent deal on a 2012 premium steering wheel so I'm just gonna put it in, see if/how the harnesses differ, and see what happens I guess. The metra led display gives you the option to load steering wheel controls in settings. Not sure if it requires an acm premium model reflash or not.
