Wiring help.
First off, I have a 2009 GT. My current project is figuring out how to put an s550 steering wheel into my s197. Seems a tad bizarre but hear me out. I have an aftermarket stereo that supports all the extra controls I need for the steering wheel. I have also purchased the s550 clock spring so everything in the steering wheel connects to one place. The problem I have ran into at this point is trying to find the wire harness or the wire connectors that plug into the clock spring. I am aware this is a wiring job by far and will most likely need a control adapter from my steering wheel to my stereo . I mainly need assistance finding those port plugs, because I highly doubt that the s197 plugs are the same considering I am going from 4 operating steering wheel controls to 16. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Won't work regardless. It will look nice, but the wheel controls will not work.
The S197 does not have the right modules needed for CanBus comms to
the car's SBJ or the Radio. IT all changed in 2015, can bus and SBJ was
all upgraded.
You can use, like a 2012 steering wheel in a 2005-09, and also the clock spring, but
you must have the connectors for the new style clock spring. As you know, the
older 05-09 connectors are different and will not fit the new clockspring. It's still
expensive, and it took someone else six months to research and program it.
Here is how you do an 05-09, to a 2012:
If it were even possible to put the 2015 on, there is no information on the wiring
for it like there is for the 2010-2014 to a 05-09.
