thats it? no need for a differnt wire harness??

The steering wheel should have the harness for the buttons included. You pop off the airbag of your OEM wheel (Disconnecting it and setting it aside), unscrew the nut for the steering wheel off most of the way (Not completely off... You want it threaded on enough to catch the wheel when you pull it off), disconnect the black connector for the stock wheel from the SIR coil (Clock spring), then yank like a **** on the stock wheel until it comes loose, then undo the rest of the steering wheel nut and remove the steering wheel.

Put the new wheel on, plug in everything, tighten down that nut, reconnect the airbag and then drive to the dealership to have them turn on cruise (Your audio controls should work already).

well its more the just that for cruise to be turned on

Nighthawk243

As long as you have a grey wire in Pin61 of the BCM, then yes, that is all you need to do. There is a setting in the computer that is turned off in cars that didn't come with cruise from the factory. All you have to do is pay them about an hours worth of labor to pop the Tech II in, enable cruise, then take it for a quick test drive to make sure it works.

If the dealership looks at you funny, just insist on it. Mine didn't believe it would work until they test drove it.

info on pin 61???? plus id need to buy cruise controls with DIC. im just getting wheel with radio. prev own keep DIC button/cruise

Nighthawk243

Pull the BCM connector, find the 61st slot and see if there is a pin in it.

You're going to have to reword that.

and BCM is where? the wheel i am getting only come with radio controls, the first owner keep the DIC so he could use them

Nighthawk243

If you don't have the cruise buttons, don't worry about the BCM pin yet unless you get them.

All you have to focus on for the audio controls is the connector for the back of the radio if they dont' work when you plug them in.

waht???? thought u said theyd work? lol ugh. well my buddy gets me parts at cost so i might get cruise buttons if i know i got pin 61

I'm not sure what version of the Cobalt you have. Most are wired for it, but if you have the ghetto base/ls model, it may not be wired up for it. If you have MP3 capability on your HU, it should be prewired.

i got a base 07 only really got wheel cuz it leather and was 38 shipped from another member

also i plan on hookin up a sub can i just wire up the steerin wheel plug then??

Nighthawk243

If you need to run the audio control wiring, you can do that whenever. It and the subs are independent, so it is a whenever you feel like.

I personally tapped the LOC into the rear speakers when I added a sub into my old G5. It did pretty well.
