I have to switch my steering wheel also since it's getting torn but I think I'm just going to find a whole assembly and swap it instead of going this airbag removal route...seems like a lot more work lmao

Would one from an 07 hhr swap over just fine staged? Or is that just the cover that swaps over

 

You would need an 07+ wheel to add the HHR SS airbag.

 

Yeah that's what I mean. Will a whole assembly from an 07 be plug and play on an 06?

 

Oh sorry, missed what you were asking.

Yeah, I dont see why not.

 

I don't think the wheel control harness would entirely work; the 07+ wheels have the dic controls on them and i think some other stuff.

Maybe some of the funtions would work though?

Either way, too late, my other wheel is currently enroute to some place to get a suede cover stitched on

 

Ahh yes, good point rice. Forgot about that.

 

i thought i read a few days ago that the 07+ wheels have a different wire harness that plugs into the wheel, and it wont work for an 06/05.

there are tons of 06 wheels on ebay.

 

Correct.

That's what riceburner was getting at, and I over looked.

 

i also heard from a guy who had his car posted for sale on here that he put on a vette wheel (which was bad ass) and it plugged in just fine, he just had to get rid of cruise control since the vette wheel didnt have it.

 

ya royce777 did that

although that is bad ass, its not the one i was referring to.

here is the one i saw :

2012 Corvette Centennial Edition Steering Wheel



it was done on an 09 though so us unlucky ducks will prbly have an issue with it

 

oh and of course that is suede wrapped dog gonit

o well i don't want the red thread anyways. good looking out though!

just a thought; anyone good with wiring could probably splice the harness together with whatever controls they want, such as cruise control and volume and such; probably wouldn't be a huge deal tbh.

 

im really debating on if i want to send a wheel to Redline goods and have them wrap it and stuff for me

 

You certainly could, and i'll tell ya what. The wrap costs around 100 bucks i think. i now have a spare wheel you could take off my hands. and on the redline site they have a section of people you can send your wheel to in america for cheaper shipping to stitch it for ya. the person i chose charges 120, which includes return shipping. i will certainly post my experience and final product on here

 

i think it came out to $225 for what i wanted on the RL goods site.

 

Had forgotten about dic controls as well....damn it lol will look for a steering wheel from an 06 then. They are ugly as heck though haha. Maybe I'll get it stitched up locally instead.

That corvette wheel looks niice. Minus the red stitching lol

 

if i had black + red tc seats id be all up on that though.

oh **** you're right. thanks for reminding me

 

still the price of the vette wheel plus you keep your controls ... its a win win

 

yup and upon research they actually have that wheel with a few different stitching colors

 

Just waiting for this to get back to me. Freshly stitched alacantara

When i do the swap ill make a how to with pics i suppose

 

Looks nice, you get the extra padding too or no ?

You da man if u make a how-to

 

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/part...s-sale-312389/if anyone is looking for a wheel, I've got one left to sell. riceburner purchased the poly wheel but the leather wrapped wheel is still available.

looks great!

 

Thanks nope no extra padding

Thanks rain
