You are my hero!

Some lessons learned and things to do leftover:
- left buttons and right buttons seem to have a very close resistive value so both sides do the same thing. They will need to go on a different SWC channel instead of how the harness has them joined to the blue line OR add a resistor in front of the left buttons to change the value slightly
- cruise control buttons don't work just yet. I have a plan for those that involves the old button boards from an 05-09 connected directly to each button of the CC side
- phone buttons work, kinda. Seems like phone up and phone down have the same value as the other two (channel 3) so I will need to add another resistor there as well
- airbag connectors - I took apart the connectors from a newer clock spring, and was able to use the wiring from 05-09 by just getting them in the new connectors. No need to cut wires etc
- horn, works as well
- no need to hack the button boards like the posts above

Current wiring setup:
- blue line (channel 1) goes to SWC1
- orange, green and brown go to SWC2
- black, red and purple go to the grown wire on the clockspring (together with the black wire from horn wires)
- white wire from horn goes to the horn wire of clockspring
- yellow goes to backlight on clockspring

I need to order a few resistors and I should have all media buttons working soon! In the meantime... enjoy the picture below! This will go VERY well with the 2014 dashboard that I have in progress with a custom center cluster that uses the 05-09 AC controls, 05-09 gauges with a 2014 lens and indicators and 2014 headlight switches. THAT will be an even more fun of a project!

I don’t care about the buttons working really but I want to put a GT350 flat bottom steering wheel in my 2009 GT/CS and this confirmed it can be done!

Good Morning,
I was just curious, since its been a long time with no updates, if anyone got the buttons working.

I imagine you would have to mess around with the resistant values of each of the switches to get them to work, along with making new connectors.

We had to do something similar to get the steering wheel switches from a nav car to work in a non nav car.
