Steering Wheel Upgrade? Need Help!

[Hexa Fox]

Hey guys,

 

So I have been reading online, watching YouTube videos and trying to figure out what I need to do to upgrade my steering wheel. I posted somewhere else and I got conflicting information to say the least. To try to keep this as short as possible my truck is a 2017 GMC Sierra WT 1500 and only has cruise control on the steering wheel. I recently checked on Summit Racing and they had one 'upgrade' left in stock so I decided to pull the trigger. So I may have put the cart before the horse but I was told that as long as it was not heated the new controls should simply work right out of the box. The new one has the dash cluster controls and the radio controls on the back. 

 

However, more recently I was told that if my truck does not have radio controls right now I could not simply add a new steering wheel, plug it in and gain that functionality. I also saw that I may need to replace the clock spring as well. Anyway, I was hoping someone here could clear this up for me or tell me what I need to do myself to confirm compatibility. I thought about just installing the new steering wheel without the air bag, plugging the battery back in and seeing if the controls work before reinstalling the air bag since it seems that is the hardest thing to get off but I also do not want it to through a code or cause me other kinds of issues. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! This is a link to the wheel I bought off Summit Racing just in case.
