TriumphoverU -
Firstly awesome work. I am trying to do the same thing. I e-mailed my dealer to try and buy the wiring harness and radio switch and on top of quoting me astronomical prices (they won't sell the harness separate from the steering wheel) they also said:
"IF you are able to remove
the airbag without detonating it, there remains the issue of programming the
Body Control Module - the new additions will not be recognized and will not
function without the download from GM. The download itself will not take
unless it is registered by GM for a fee."
Is this a scare tactic? I gathered from your post that this was simply plug and play. Do you require a download? Thanks.
