Savage... most definitely. I would also print stuff out to make it ABUNDANTLY clear to the techs that you need to repgram BOTH the BCM and the RADIO. The guy who did mine was clueless and thought that updating the BCM for the steering wheel controls would also take care of the PDIM. That is NOT the case. The PDIM takes like 3 minutes to do. All they do is update your account so that it's in your profile that you have a PDIM. They then update your radio and it enables your PDIM. I'm not sure how long it takes to reprogram the BCM since I wasn't there for that. If they try and tell you that it's going to take an hour to do each that is BULLSHIT. I watched the guy do the PDIM. It's a 10 minute max job, including hooking up the tech2 tool to the computer.

As for a write-up of modding your own steering wheel harness, that's a can do and I plan on doing that. You're still going to need the connector that plugs into the switch though and the sockets that go into that connector and the main connector. The price I'm asking for a harness is AMAZINGLY reasonable so, people have just been getting a harness from me. I have 6 sets of connectors ready to build harnesses with. Does anybody else have interest in one? I could also offer to sell kits to mod your own harness. This option would also be reasonably priced. If anybody is interested in either option please PM me for a price.
