Thank you for the update. All ambitious projects run into challenges and I’m certain you will find a way to make it work in a capacity you are happy with. Hopefully, it will be something others can duplicate once you’re finished
Out of curiosity, do you have the OEM navigation in your Mustang?

UPDATE:
as of today I got the upper left side switch working :-) kind of lol. I'll post up a video to show how its working. now tying to tackle the cruise control. FYI I had to de-solder and solder new resistors on.

checking on update and your video
I had my Electrical friend take a look at the diagrams, what he was looking at seemed like there was not a way to make the cruise work, I really hope that is not correct. Can you add a link for your video?

Havent worked on it for awhile I did get the resistors changed out but have to figure out the wires. I'll try and post up a video later today.

Sweet, I was afraid it really wasn't going to work, so now Im getting excited for you, and me. Yeah, the S550 clock spring was so much different it didnt seem doable, but I was also afraid the S197 clock spring wouldn't have enough wires.Thanks for the update, I cant wait to see what you came up with and to see if it works.

Ordered new switches because I am thinking That I put the wrong resistors on thats why nothing was working for the cruise controls.
I'll be abit busy in the coming months because we are expecting another child in July 😑 so i hope I can get it to kinda work.
Also this came in 😊

With your nav you would then also have altered steering wheel controls for audio, yes? I am simply trying to speculate on the task you are working on. Essentially, each button on the wheel has a different function and different resistance, so you are attempting to find the resistance of each S197 button and pair it to a similar button on the S550 wheel regardless of location on the wheel. Is this correct?
Amazing project and congratulations again on the new baby. Just had my first in January.

Yes Correct. I got the values for the cruise control on/off, set -/+, res/ cancel but haven't don't anything as of yet. while the Bluetooth I haven't done as I don't really use it. I know when I pressed the Phone button it would take me to my last called.
