Default C7 steering wheel question

Hello Vette lovers-
I own a 2015 C7 coupe and I'm considering switching out my steering wheel. Currently, I have a round steering wheel and I would like to switch to a flat bottom steering wheel. Can someone advise if flat bottom steering wheel compatible with 2015 model and will I need any additional parts? New to the corvette community and soliciting your help.

flat bottom steering wheel will work, all you need is to get one with the correct paddle switches as they are marked differently for an auto or a manual
there are several videos on youtube on how to swap them out.

Also, be very careful when removing the middle bolt (don't strip or cross thread) and there's a black wound piece (forget what it's called) that you need to make sure doesn't get out of calibration. Here's a good writeup:

That center bolt can be a real bitch, I have done it before and will have to do it as soon as my new wheel comes in.. Changing the wheel is a great upgrade. This is my new wheel that I ordered
