Been looking into it a bit. Saw a guy on YouTube adding one to a 2017 or so, but my parts guy thinks I'm SOL with my '20 Custom. Anyone on here tried, succeeded, or failed on this one?

You can take off the plastic housing off around the steering column and see if you have the 2 pin connector harness.

I am so far from taking anything apart to look for pins. I'm deep enough in knowledge to know there are issues with a SIR part, or Clock Spring, the option was only available with push button start, which I do not have, and it would need to be programmed into the BCM by a dealer, if my BCM will even allow it, I get all the correct parts, and I can find a dealer willing to do it. Taking something apart on virtually a new truck to look at pins is not where I'm starting unless I get advice from someone who's done the upgrade successfully, but thanks!

 

Have you done this mod?

No, I have not. I am going to do it on my son's 19 Colorado, which all Colorado/ Canyons are keyed ignition still.

 

Saw a video on this for a Colorado. Need a clock spring and heated wheel. It was plug and play, no dealer programming. His truck had the wiring harness connector for this. He listed part number for wheel and clock spring.

 

I'm going to take 3 minutes to remove the plastic housing and see if this connector is there, before ordering parts.

 

PS.. just got the 19 Colorado last week on a lease return, so I no nothing about the Colorado/Canyons, but learning.

I'm not on Facebook and want to know the details on this. I just added a heated one to my Custom. I already had the safety confidence package from the factory so I had all the other buttons. I wanted a factory leather wrapped wheel mostly. Having working heat was a hopeful stretch.

 

An issue I have is noting another thread where someone had added an aftermarket hack to add navigation to their non navigation factory radio and when in for service, it was flashed with the latest software and it broke the aftermarket navigation add on.

 

Will BCM changes outside of a GM dealer be at risk of being wiped if the dealer ever had to flash the BCM or update it for some other reason? I added GM accessory fog lights but they want an additional $160 for labor to program the BCM and have my truck for half a day to do it. I instead used a diode jumper off the parking lights to activate the fog lights since I already had the part from my past vehicle. Any hack like that to make the heated steering wheel work?

I did the ltz wheel, high country cluster and ran the extra wire for the wheel controls to work. I spent about an hour on it, with the wiring diagram.  Powered the pin for the heated wheel in the clock ring and the heated wheel button doesn't light up. There's more involved, it's not that easy. I didnt have time after that so that's as far as I got.

Heated steering wheel, I thought it was just for wimps... damn was I wrong, used it 3 times this winter so far and saved my frozen hand (exaggeration 🥶) but made a hell of a difference bringing feelings back to the hand. Good luck getting it to work!

Anyone have any updates on this? I have a 21 custom trail boss that has been pretty much changed over to a high country. I did get the high country dash cluster put in from WAMS, its works extremely well.

You and I are in the same boat. I'm trying to get my heated wheel to work in my 2022 LTD Custom after swapping in a WAMS high country cluster and new wheel w/ heat.

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
