Understood. No wires were cut/harmed during the procedure/installation.
When I transferred the top frame from the OEM core to new yoke core, everything (including the wiring harness) is conveniently contained within (& stays with) that top frame piece… and, that top frame simply pops right into place on the new yoke. Super easy.
I can’t speak for any of the newer 3’s or Y’s with the heated OEM steering wheel (and extra wiring harness). But for my model year, it is literally plug-n-play.
So, if I ever do end up selling my vehicle, I can simply transfer everything back to and re-install the OEM steering wheel. Now that I’ve done this once, the next time will take less than 20 minutes!!
