Very Very clean install.

Did he make his own harness?

How much did he charge you for all of this? That's a lot of work but came out real nice. He must know whom he's dealing with. He documents everything.

From the photos, it looks like he put the steering wheel back on exacly how it came off, but I could see where someone could mess that up and create an alignment problem.

**unless it's fool-proof and can only be installed the correct way.

I know when I picked it up he said we got the steering wheel on perfectly centered, I think that was the first time it happened to them where it was easier.

Might be a good idea to take a sharpie and mark a line where the steering wheel is before removing, so as to use that to line it up when putting it back on. Just for anyone else who plans to attempt this install.

I second that. It's really not that hard taking the steering wheel apart as long as you take some time and make note where goes what. I was really hoping for some wiring pics but I guess I'll stick what I have until someone actually documents it.

Yeah I was hoping this as well but he wasn't able to do it, the process was tedious for the wiring. He basically said it isn't easy at all to do, I think Joez said it if your not used to car wiring it really isn't going to be easy. You have to make your own wiring for the fog lights.

I just ordered the kit with stalk because I want this to look OEM. I was thinking about tackling this project myself as well but need to know which wires from the stalk harness to connect to as well as other power connections.

I would think that there are some assembly drawings out showing steering wheel removal to help in all that... though I have to say that these pics here wil help a lot.. iPad in car.. should go well.

Hopefully a step by step will emerge from everyone's experience.
