I know the steering wheel swap a 2006on up on a 2005 has been discussed many many times. I can not find if anyone has swapped out a 2007 steering column with steering wheel w audio controls and airbag on to a 2005?
My 05 steering wheel is falling apart and I was going to swap it out for a 06 on up which would include the clock spring and air bag.. I have found a complete steering wheel with air bag clock spring wiring harness and the entire column with telescoping and tilt for $100. At some point I will pull the oem stereo and install a newer unit with blue tooth and back up camera . My question is will the newer harness on the column plug into the main harness on the 05?
No it won’t. Here’s some guidance on how to add the steering wheel controls which involves swapping some connectors, and adding three new wires. Also if you’re adding a newer stock radio, it needs to be one that’s remote capable, or you can up grade your system to an aftermarket system, and they’ll work with that.
So if I just want to swap the steering wheel to one with out controls, if I under stand correctly it would entail the clock spring, the wheel and the air bag. Would the wiring harness need to be changed to accommodate the new clock spring?
