Now that's what a call a video my good sir, you got the point across make sure your bag has been updated and 30 min deenergize.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
I did this mod back in 2011 on my 2006 Mustang GT. I used a OEM Shelby GT500 steering wheel as I wanted the combo leather/alcantara. One of the best mods I did on my car. Made driving so much more fun as the thicker wheel is more comfortable than the stock thinner early S197 wheel. Its a MUST DO if you like driving.
And yes the cruise control works but obviously the SYNC buttons are inop, but that's okay. They become a conversation starter for those who "know" when they see the wheel. 👍
Oh I agree that sounds like you had a really nice ride!
Exactly! Thanks for watching!
Did you have to use the additional wires that he used on this write up?
@@Hayabusagsxr1300 It's been a LONG time since I did this mod, but IIRC, I didn't use any extra wires. Just cut the extra plug I bought so the new wheel can connect to the car and my coworker (who is amazing at soldering) just soldered the wires together that were needed to make it work (color from the plug to the new steering wheel).
Did this while swapping in a Kenwood head unit. Love it, all buttons work.
That’s awesome! I think it’s a great upgrade. Thanks for watching!
Dude! I did not see that air bag pop coming, great video by the way!
Hahaha that’s great! Thanks that means a lot. Thanks for watching!
This is cool! Glad you figured out how to get the wheel to work with the radio
I’m glad too I feel it makes a real difference. Are you about to do it? If so good luck. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie potentially. I sold my last 3v but I’ve been wanting another one so I’ve been looking at ideas
I’m going to be doing this swap soon, great video!
Thanks! Good luck, it’s a great upgrade. Thanks for watching!
You are the man! Thank you!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I wanted to go to school to be a mechanic but they need to get paid more for what they do 💯💯
I agree 100%, all the knowledge we have to obtain not to mention the fortune we spend in tools. But it’s still a good job. Thanks for watching!
You just HAD to make my life better. Didn't you. XD
Time to start saving up again...
Thank you for this tutorial.
Haha XD. This is a must have upgrade in my book. I know you’ll love it. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie Do you intend to keep this video up for a while? I'd really like to reference it later on
Ya I don’t plan on ever removing it. So save it and watch it later. Feel free to ask for help if you ever need it.
Good deal! Jump scare got me though haha
Haha I was hoping to get a few. Thanks for watching!
Thought I’d keep you up to date on the wiring for my 2010 upgrade to my 2006. I went ahead and removed all the unused wires in the connections. I also decided to remove all the harness tape to check the grounds due to others having horn issues. I’m glad I did. I had a loose ground at the factory splice and fixed it. I also did the others as well for preventative maintenance down the road. So far I think I’ve shacked it. One thing to note is splicing the original connection to the 2010 harness the harness is noticeably thicker. Took some patience to fit it in so it doesn’t interfere with the U-plate when tightening it. To others my thought is to offset the splices to give the harness a consistent thickness. This gives more flexibility to position the harness so there’s no kinks. Took me 6+ hours to do this and I’m installing it today. I’m OCD so now you know the rest of the story. 😮
Haha I’m glad to hear you’ve got it all finished up. I do agree with you staggering the connections would be a good idea to do. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
Finally got the Banshee back together. I installed the Pioneer DMH1770NEX, added a rear camera and topped it off with a trunk release in the console. Everything done per your videos. I did installed a PAC C2R-FRD1 on the Pioneer and then added the PAC SWI RC1. After all the upgrades I take a drive and the Air temp blend actuator goes out. The Pioneer 1770NEX is a great upgrade and I also added a Smart box adapter with Netflix,CZcams and other apps preloaded. Next up will be interior LED’s. I want to send you a few photos but I can’t figure out how to. You nail it with all these videos I’ll be watching for new ones. Cheers
Hello, I’ve tried your FB link and not having much luck. I’d like to message you about a issue with my 2006 banshee in regards to issues with the HVAC system blend doors. All of them are very funky after I replaced all except behind the instrument panel. I’d like to message you and get your opinion on this and another problem. You’re my go to channel and we appreciate what you do.
Hey man, great video!! I just got done installing mine and everything went well. Except for my cruise control doesn’t seem to work and I’ve gone back to make sure everything is wired correctly and it is. I was thinking that it might be because I’ve accidentally bought a 2014 Mustang GT steering wheel with a track pack. When I realized it was too late I already had the steering wheel in my hands so I assumed just buying the switch you used in the video would do the trick…it didn’t. Anyways, I would just like your opinion. Definitely earned a sub from me. Keep up the great work!
Ya buying the switches should do it. Honestly I would double check every joint make sure everything has good connection. You can also look up to see the resistance when pressed. Best of luck. Thanks for watching!
the airbag video transition was clean lol
Hahaha I love it. Thanks for watching!
I’m not the type of guy who rushes to put something together then have to do it over. My question is how long would one expect to spend on doing this upgrade right the first time?
This is one of the best upgrade videos I’ve ever watched. I’ve never replaced a steering wheel with electronic options.
Thank You in advance
That’s a good thing. So if you’re following along with the video and taking your time I could see a reasonable time frame being 4-5 hours conservatively.
I really appreciate that I try to work hard in order to make it easy for everyone watching. I’d love to hear how it turns out for you. Best of luck. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely sir! I’m looking for a mint condition wheel at this time.
Fantastic, can you tell me how to donate? I couldn't have done this without your video!
I’m glad I was able to help! Donations are always appreciated but please don’t feel pressured too. If you do though there is a thanks button under the video near the like buttons. Thanks for watching!
Outstanding. Thank You. Question.....Where did you get the carbon fiber look door panels? Thx
Thanks I’m glad it could help. As for the door inserts I got it online somewhere. But unfortunately, I can’t remember where now. Thanks for watching!
EXCELLENT and comprehensive tutorial. Got a sub from me for sure. There is so little out here on things like this, well at least this detailed. Do you happen to have a video on switching clusters? I have a 2007 S197 and did the Coyote swap, along with the engine came the ECU, /trans and the instrument cluster. I went to do the swap of the cluster and found that the plug in the back is different, that was a bummer. Any information on that would be helpful.
Thank you that means a lot. Ton of work goes into the videos. But, unfortunately, I don’t. I was getting ready to do a full coyote swap, along with the gauges, dash and door. But market went crazy and couldn’t find a donor vehicle for anything close to reasonable. But for the cluster I did find some good info on it at one time I will try to find it again. But best of luck! I’ll have to check out your progress if you’re uploading it. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie Thanks for getting back with me. Yeah, if you could find that information, that would be greatly appreciated. I have the entire harness out of the donor car, was hoping that it could be just a plug difference. I have yet to go through the donor harness to see if the plug is there. If you plan to do a Coyote swap, get with Matt Soppa, he has a channel " Make it Modular". There is a ton of knowledge there as well. he makes harnesses that are plug and play for the S197 Coyote swaps. i got one and all the gauges work, AC etc.. I just wanted the mileage to be the same as the engine at 36,000. Thanks again and keep me in mind if you run across that information.
I didn’t hook up the audio controls yet though (yellow and purple wires) or the arrow wires for the left side but I thought I wouldn’t need those for the cruise control to work
You don’t they will work without it. Make sure to follow my video and it’ll work. Hope this helps thanks for watching!
If I get the upgraded version with the rpm lights meter in the steering wheel for the 2010-2014 mustangs from dina performance would it work ?
I would think so but I can’t confirm. Please update me if you decide to do it. I’m really curious. Thanks for watching!
Sick. Want.
Go for it! It’s a great upgrade. Thanks for watching!
@JunkyardJunkie I think it might fix my cruise control too. And my old steering wheel has screwed up silver pieces. Any chance you still have your old one?
if i want to use the original radio do i need the “swi-rc-1”?
What were the green wires under the steering column for the (purple and yellow) one?
The original radio can’t be controlled via steering controls. If you don’t mind that then you’re ok. As for the purple and yellow wires those are the new connections for the steering wheel buttons the old one didn’t have. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
What’s the blue and green wire for from the new side that you’re connecting to the black from the new side?
I can’t remember off the top of my head but you should be able to google it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the GT badge on the original steering wheel? The tribar one I have is starting to get scuffed really badly.
I got it off of eBay. Unfortunately it’s just a sticker decal but I do like the look. You can get it in the same color as your car. Here’s a link:
www.ebay.com/itm/143440305809?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cRY5UdgGQzy&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=TeVRrzBpTDS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
This is a 1000x better! I need someone in Iowa to do this and the radio replacement!
Right? Defiantly a must have upgrade in my book. To bad you’re not down here I would help you out. Best of luck. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie the other upgrade I want is automatic lights... have you looked into this?
I have, I’m making a video on another car right now about it. The simple way to make auto headlights is tie a relay into your circuit. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Would this work on a base 2010 mustang? I know it’s a different year but mine only has the cruise control buttons and I’d really like to swap it with one of these
Yes it will work and is a much needed upgrade. Hope this helps. Good luck. Thanks for watching!
Got another question. What gauge wire (red/blk) did you use from the steering wheel to the PAC? I have 22 it’ll carry the load but need your advice. Thank You in advance cheers.
I used 18 gauge wire but 22 should still work just fine. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I’ll have the job done tonight and get some pics and a video out to you. Cheers
I Definitely jumped 🤣🤣
Haha awesome! I’m glad I’ve gotten a few with it. Thanks for watching!
that shit got me good😂
Hahaha 😂 that’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
The only thing missing is the actually connecting the wires to the SW
I-RC-1 interface but everything else perfect
That’s not bad of a job at all you can do later. I’m glad you got it knocked out. Nice upgrade right? Thanks for watching!
Did you connect the made extended purple and yellow wire to what colors on the swI rc interface
I don’t understand what the purpose of that green ford wire connector thing. Is it for the cruise control to work? Or for the audio controls?
It’s a ground. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Does anyone know if you can somehow put an 18-23 on I don’t need any of the controls synced I just care for the wheel itself
I’m not sure. I believe the fitment isn’t correct unfortunately. But, anything is possible just depends how much you want to put into the project. Best of luck and hopefully someone that’s done it will comment. Thanks for watching!
I'm adding the 2010 steering next week and decided to keep it simple by using the same radio you used in your How to Install video. Can you send me your radio model? Thank you in advance
The exact one I have is the pioneer avh-1400nex. It’s pioneer make good radios with Apple care play and Andriod auto. Hope this helps. Best of luck. Thanks for watching!
How did you map the buttons? For example can i make the voice button for voice commands?
Check my other video: czcams.com/video/v1WpOuTiNeg/video.html
Go to 25:55 I cover this well. But yes you can from the list of functions program them for whatever you want. I want the up arrow to answer calls I could do that. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Someone is selling me a brand new 2015 steering wheel with airbag for a good price, do you know if this wiring hack would also work for that model? I have a 2006 Mustang and I would love to have all the new buttons plus a brand new steering wheel and airbag (I have one of the old airbags that had the recall but I live in europe and my car was imported from USA so I cannot get the recall).
There may be fitment issue. I know I’ve seen a lot say you won’t be able to get the button to work properly. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Also I would for the airbag reach out to ford I believe they will still help you out because I believe they’d still be liable.
How did you change the lights to the climate controls ??
I made a full video on how to do it to any color you want. Here’s the video: How to change all interior lighting LED's to a different color
czcams.com/video/M5fVC83Pcxk/video.html
Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
How did u change the colors on the ac controls from green to blue? In my mustang theyre green.
I made a whole video on how to do it. Here’s the link: How to change all interior lighting LED's to a different color
czcams.com/video/M5fVC83Pcxk/video.html
Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie much obliged 🙌🏽
Is this going to work with the more sporty flat bottom steering wheels?
Yes as long as it’s for the 2010-2014 year model it will work. Hope this helps thanks for watching!
Can you do the same with a newer steering wheel like 2016 look in the 05?
Anything’s possible. but I do know it’s got a lot more useless buttons for controlling the screen and etc. hope this helps!
Long as it goes on and turn is all I need no need for the controls lol and yes this help me out thank you
Thank you for making this! I have a 2010 base and I would really like to swap the premium wheel but I’m not sure if 05-09/2010 would be a different process? You think I could get it to work following this video?
So the 2010 is the unloved year lol. But I believe it is the exact same steering wheel connectors as the 05-09. I would double check the connector make sure it lines up like I showed. Then you should be good to go. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie I will take your word and give it a shot, hopefully it works! it definitely is the unloved year lol I had a 2008 but I like the 3v engine so I had to get one
I totally understand. Let me know how it goes
@@JunkyardJunkiehey man just wanted to let you know, I did the swap on my base 2010, you don’t have to wire anything! It all works just have to plug it in, I got lucky
What if I have the one with “ok” button and the directional arrows, Instead of that cruise control set up you have there? If I follow the same process will it work?
I haven’t got to try it. But, I do know I’ve seen a lot of people say it won’t work with those controls. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie do you have a part number for the harness in the steering wheel you used. I’ll just order that same set of buttons and harness you got but I can’t seem to find it online.
I’ve got the same steering wheel instead of the cruise control pads I’ve got the toggle pads , my question would be . Would the audio controls and lighting work even if the cruise controls don’t ? Great informative video! Greetings from Texas ! Thanks in advance!
Do you know specifically what year that new steering wheel was
I don’t unfortunately.
How many wires didn’t you use from the pac system to get the buttons to work and what did you do with the wires that were supposed to go to the apim? I am trying to do the same exact thing, but with a android head unit.
I believe I had to use 3 wires (if you look at my how to install a radio video you see the wires I use). But if your using a different head unit you’ll have to go to the pac website and see what that head unit needs. Some head units you take the two wires and plug it directly in. Best of luck! Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkieI got one more question if you don’t mind, where does the black and red wire that is connected to the wpt-440 on the bottom of the clock spring connect to on the other end? The head unit or?
Mine connected to the pac module. But it depends what radio you got. For the most part it will connect to the pac module on most radios.
@@JunkyardJunkie okay thanks man!
What does soldering the Blue and Green to the Black do? I assume the Black is a common ground? And can I just leave the three wires separated and capped? Or just ground the Black and leave the others capped? Thanks.
They’re all getting grounded. If you leave them separated then you won’t have a horn or any controls working. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for the quick reply!! I've got to say that I've done a ton of mods to my 2006 Mustang over the past 17 years and this may possibly be the most thoughtful how-to video I've ever seen.@@JunkyardJunkie
Thanks that truly means a lot! That’s a long time to be putting mods on id love to see the outcome.
Hello friend, I'm in Mexico and I can't find the connector you mentioned that connects under the clockspring, is there any way to replace those connectors
Like the swi c 1 interface, I haven't seen where you put it or how it goes? Maybe I can't find it, is it 100% necessary to make the controls work?
Here’s the video to me installing the radio and I go over it more(How to install a radio (Full Guide)
czcams.com/video/v1WpOuTiNeg/video.html). I also have a video on the swi rc 1 install if you need to know how to do that. But yes you will need the swi rc 1 or some kind of steering wheel control interface. As for not finding the bottom plug did you remove the bottom shield? If you take some pics and send to my fb I’ll take a look it should be there. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
I see, if the 2 cables of the wpr harness are connected directly to the radio where the "key 1 and key 2" are, will it not work?
Yes it should work like that. I just tried to make a dummy proof way to do it. But sounds like you got it! Let me know how it goes
So if I just want horn and cruise control I can skip the part where WPT-1242 is used?
Yes, that’s correct. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video.
Thank you that means a lot!
okay so I don't know if you can help with it at all but I wired everything the same way, got the Pac unit working but the only button that works is the okay button, other than that everything is fine, any help is appreciated
Ya I had the same problem you have to push EXTREMELY hard to make it actually register when programming the pac but once that happens you won’t have to press hard when actually using it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie yeah I got it working, made me feel really stupid because I went back and triple checked all the wiring lol, thank you for the legendary videos, they help more than you know
Hey don’t feel bad it really shouldn’t be like this but for some reason it is haha. But hey I really appreciate and I’m glad I’m able to help! Thanks for the support!
What was the process you used to install the center GT emblem? Did you take the old emblem off first?
This one’s yellow but I got this decal just with silver. www.ebay.com/itm/392885298205?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cRY5UdgGQzy&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=TeVRrzBpTDS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I wanted to find the actual silver gt badge but I couldn’t find it anywhere. So the decal worked great for me. Also didn’t have to take it off. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Thanks but I was actually wondering how you installed it? Did you just stick it over the original emblem or remove the original first? Thanks
Just sticks right over the old
@@JunkyardJunkie how is the sticker holding up to today?
if i dont want the cruise control an volume buttons to work will my horn still work?
Yes you can have the horn still work without cruise and volume. I’d recommend hooking them up though just because that’s one of the main reasons to upgrade. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie thanks man 👍
Anytime!
Question what year won't work on my 2007 gt it doesn't matter if the buttons are not working I just want the Coolest steering wheel on
So any will work and be able to use cruise control. If you want radio functions you’ll want one that looks like mine. So if you want to just cosmetic then any will work. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie appreciate it the info 👍👍👌🙌
Is there an email I can message you from? I have some questions for ya before I start this! I just picked a steering wheel in great condition
Shoot me a message on fb I’ll try to help you. Here’s the link and thanks for watching!

Do u know if I’m still able to do the recall
Hey, go to the fords page to check. www.ford.com/support/recalls/ it pretty much effected almost all of them and they’ll fix it for free. But the website above you can check
are those two yellow cables for the horn?
No those yellow cables are for the airbag. Be carful with them. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

@Junkyard Junkie I got blue california special I think all blue leds would match perfect I'll check it out
Ya that would look amazing. I love the upgrade and it’s not that bad to do. Let me know how it turns out.
Hi sir
which music stereo display are you using
?
I’m using the pioneer nex unit I believe it’s the 2550 one. But you can look at my installing a radio video. I install it on this car. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
thank you
I’ve got a 2012 with that old wheel with only cruise, is it the same process?!?
Yes you have the base model v6? It should be the same. Thanks for watching!
Nope v8 5.0 I was curious about it too
That’s strange I thought the v6 base model was the only one. Well you learn something new everyday haha best of luck
where'd you get the "GT" chrome door sills, i cant find them online

@@JunkyardJunkiehey how is that sticker holding up? Any peeling?
It’s doing good. the top isn’t a sticker. It really should be good for years to come. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie oh if it’s not a sticker then what is it
How much would you charge for this change-out? What state are you at?
I’m in north ga. Where are you located maybe we can work it out. Thanks for watching!
Does the old s197 airbag fit the 2014 steering wheel?
Yes it’s the same. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie thank you sir! I will be pulling my steering wheel out of a junkyard tomorrow! Thanks!
Let me know how it goes! Best of luck.
Does anyone Sell a pre-made connector by any chance?
Not that I know of. But, I do think there is a demand for it. Thanks for watching!
My guy you did good but I need help with one more thing 😂💀can I get a link too the wiring items
Thanks, sure bud here’s the wpt1242: www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-WPT1242-Temperature-Connector-Assembly/dp/B009B5STYE

Could I pay you too buy my do the work and ship it too me
is there a vehicle i can extract these wpt connectors from?
Yes there should be some to grab them off of. I don’t really know of the top of my head though. Best of luck. Thanks for watching!
@@JunkyardJunkie thanks for the reply. I did notice that tge original 05-09 harness connector is almost the same you just have to remove the square locking tab and add maybe some rtv to keep it from moving.
WERE DID U GET THE STEERING WEEL?
Haha it’s from any Mustang 2010-2014. You can get them at your local pull a part or buy off eBay. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
how much would you charge to have this new wiring harness made and ship?
Hey sorry a lots going on now for me to be able to do it. Is there a reason you don’t want to do it? If you don’t like to solder you can always use heat shrink butt connectors.
@@JunkyardJunkie simply put, I'm not confident in my ability to get the wiring done correctly. And I'd rather have someone with the knowledge and patience to get it done.
I understand maybe here in a few weeks I’ll be able to do it for you for free. Just have to give me the harnesses and stuff.
@@JunkyardJunkie I understand, and thank you. Let me know when it'd be a good time.
It would be a lot nicer if someone just made an adaptive wire kit to go with the new wheel and controls. Would make this a helluva lot less intimidating and I might actually consider this upgrade. Don’t really know shit about wires or soldering and as a Daily driver, my Mustang needs a functioning airbag.
It would be really awesome if they did just make a adapter. But, I really do think you should do this upgrade. It seems daunting but I assure you it’s no where near as bad as you think. Just follow the steps and you’ll have it! Also if your not good at soldering you could always use solder connectors (just heat them up) or butt connectors. As for functional air bags the first two connectors you see me take off are to the air bags. They don’t get messed with at all. So your air bag will work properly. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
The airbag seen scared me to death man I'm glad it wasn't real
Can I ask you what car has the same cruise control and volume button?
Hahaha
It came out of the newer (2010/11-14) s197 but they’re easy to find. I’ll look on eBay for you real quick. www.ebay.com/itm/186338932031?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Jwo_CDvvQDG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=TeVRrzBpTDS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
As long as you find the wheel you can just buy new switches to put in it. Hope this helps. Good luck! Thanks for watching!

Hey, I did a full video on how to do it. It really changes the look and I think it’s a great upgrade. Here’s the link: How to change all interior lighting LED's to a different color

So I did this and checked everything more then ones and still not horn or anything working anything to help
If you followed everything I showed it should be working. The main thing I would say to check is the grounds. There’s one on the u shaped metal and one under it. If those are not hook up it will not work. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching’
same problem. i didn't use this tutorial, i purchased a new clockspring because the wiring wasn't working very well either, even though everything USED to work properly. you may have broken your clockspring (which stinks)
I was running a multimeter on it for ground and I was getting nothing and am not completely sure how to fix it
Also did follow all steps great video just have those problems
Leave the airbag out. Run a wire from a ground to the two ground points and then try and see if it works. If it does you’ll have a a idea of what to do. Like cocoakyle said I hope you didn’t break the clock spring.
Bahahahahaa you suck. That airbag pop scared the hell out of me and now I will be paranoid while removing mine 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂. That’s awesome! But don’t worry they are safe. Just remember to leave the battery unhooked. Good luck and thanks for watching!
r u fr about the recall ik there was one
Yes it’s effected an absurd amount of cars form the 90’s all the way up till around 2018 I believe. Ford will have someone come to your house for free to replace the airbags. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
