24 express has been built on on its way to me. Bare bones audio choice, and obviously without steering wheel audio controls. 1} upgrade audio 2} new steering wheel. How difficult will this transition be? Thanks for reading and your advice!

 

It's remove and replace if you get the whole wheel. It's remove horn/airbag, remove wire harness, cut hole, install switch, install wire harness if you want to just add the switch to your wheel. Pictures below of parts and where they go. I'll be doing this when I get a bit more time.

Cut hole here

Poke here both sides to remove airbag/horn. Follow safety instructions.

 

Were you able to get the controls installed? Is it easier to buy the whole wheel or buy the controls and harness?
Thanks.

 

Likely easier to buy the whole wheel. I haven't gotten around to cutting the whole for the switch to mount. Too many projects too little time.
