Default Problems fitting a 2012

I posted this in another thread but I thought it might be better for those with the same problem.

Ok, I just got my new wheel, no bluetooth, blue stitching and Im having a problem: the wiring harness for the horn doesnt fit the new wheels plug. Here is a picture of the plug from my old wheel, its black:



Now the new wheel has radio controls and my old wheel didnt. What should I do? Switch out the harnesses from my old wheel to the new one? Is there an adapter? My car is an 06.

Here a picture of it installed:

You need to swap the entire wiring harness and metal piece from your old wheel to the new one. I think its three T-30 Torx to remove. You can remove the back plate to make it easier. It is held on by two T-20 or T-15s. Of course you'll have to remove the wheel to do this.
