Part 15: In this video, I address the Wiper controls for the S550 and how to make it work for the S197.

 

Part 15b: In this video, I test the Wiper controls.

 

Part 16: In this video, I test the steering column assembly, wipers, high beams, and turn signal in the car .

 

Part 17: In this video, I give a small update regarding a snag I've run into trying to keep this project as plug and play as possible. The S197 Clockspring is WAY obsolete!

 

Part 18: In this video, I go through the process of depinning c2274a, repinning it in a new connector and show that the interconnect works. WARNING: This video contains work that could compromise your airbags. Please do not proceed without fully understanding what you are doing.

 

Part 19a: In this video, I go through the process of adding a ribbon cable to the S550 Clockspring.

 

Part 19b. In this video, I go over how to add a connection point to the new ribbon cable. It's not perfect and certainly not ideal in how I executed it but will get the job done for now.

 

Part 20. In this video, I lay out the plan for the Heated Wheel Diagram. How it will turn on and off, how it will indicate activity, and it should be wired up.

 

Part 21. In this video, I explore setting up the paddle shift switch as a toggle switch for the heat AND the led

 

Part 22. In this video, I test the heating element of the steering wheel, the momentary/toggle switch, and the paddle switches all together.

 

Part 23. In this video, I show how I set up my personal heated steering wheel control module. What the installation looks like as a test fit on my desk to prepare for the final install.

 

Part 24. In this video, I explain the process of identifying the Power Sources and where I will pull them from.

 

Part 24b. In this video, I actually get into the connectors in the car to hook up the power in the Smart Junction Box.

 

Part 25a. In this video, I start the installation process but run into a few hiccups along the way that need to be sorted out.

 

Part 25b. In this video, I move along to the installation of the wheel and final steps. But one last hurdle rears its head.

 

Part 25c. In this video, the steering wheel is finally installed. All features work, and the project concludes.

 

Epilogue: In this video, I give my 1-week post installation thoughts.

Part 26: Converting the Bang-Bang to PWM Heated Steering Wheel Module - In this video, I walkthrough the process of swapping to a pwm signals controller rather than a simple on and off.
