Default 2008 steering wheel coil

Good day all
My 2008 c6 auto transmission
My steering wheel is for non nav no control just the shift paddle the coil broke down there no horn and i can't use the shift paddle in sport mode
Anyhow i bought a new coil but the connector is different and the coil for my model is discontinued
Mine has only 4 pins and the new is 7 pins picture attached
Is there any adapter? Or anyone have an idea
If someone can provide the digram so that i can connect them

Change the wires from the new connector to the old one. You need a paper clip or another sharp object to release the pins from the connector. Protect the extra ones or leave them be in the new connector and tape it to the harness. If you decide to add the buttons for the radio controls later on, the wires are already there.



These three wires are for the volume etc. buttons:
