i wish we could find out for sure if they will work or not. what if were to replace our radio with a shaker one? are there amps that need to be used too? or can u just plug up the new radio and have the controls working? does anyone know exactly what all is involved in taking the sync system out of one vehicle and putting it in another?

Other than the snake, does it look different than mine (i put the woodgrain on mine so it looks a little different now, but you get the idea)?

The Gt500 wheel has suede with bigger thumb ***** with white stitches. Not to mention is has real aluminum trim. But if i would of got the premium GT i would of just kept the stock steering wheel. The base GT wheel is plastic injection mold. It was terrible.

All the aluminum trim in my car is real aluminum, including the steering wheel. Mine has white stitching and real leather also, so I guess the GT500 wheel is different in that it has suede and bigger thumb *****. That snake in the middle looks sweet as hell too.

the deluxe GT wheel is why i upgraded. you have the GOOD wheel. no need for you to upgrade. also, it doesn't come with the emblem since thats attached to the airbag

Hey, just curious guys..... Why are you upgrading your steering wheels? I looked at that one and the only thing I see different is the snake in the center.
Other than the snake, does it look different than mine (i put the woodgrain on mine so it looks a little different now, but you get the idea)?
