Amazing video. Well done. Now, if we could just find some place that has this steering wheel in stock. What a nightmare.

[@fondupot]

Yes. That was 90% of the battle, finding an in stock wheel. Good luck! Thanks for watching.

[@robs4345]

I did this upgrade today after watching your video. It is amazing although in Canada we have different part numbers sure to slightly different wheel features. It was exactly as your video showed. Very helpful! Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@fondupot]

Rob! That’s awesome to hear. So glad it worked out for you. Stay warm this winter! Thanks for watching

[@Cocora22]

I’ve always had a heated steering wheel, but my husbands Colorado doesn’t. This might be a nice project and your video is totally awesome and clear. I just watched it because it caught me interest. Great job!

[@fondupot]

Glad you liked it! Start looking for a heated wheel now. I guess they are becoming hard to come by! Probably because so many people adding them to their trucks. I love having the heated wheel in the winter time. Thanks so much for watching. Stay warm up there!

[@richardj66]

I’m in Canada and have been looking for a very long time and still cannot get a 2 post anywhere

[@michaelperras4142]

Great video! Kinda figured you might be able to retrofit one, but ive been looking for a colorado right now and was passing on any without a heated wheel. Now I can be more selective in my choices! Thanks!

[@fondupot]

Hopefully you can find the parts. I’ve heard they are hard to come by. Good luck!

i was posting on Colorado forum earlier. Great video. I think the GMC wheel looks better than the Chevy wheel. I think i kinda like the silver bezels better than the darker silver in my All Terrain.

@@fondupot did your order show the color code for the steering wheel bezel? appears there are 2 different shades of silver... From what i can tell there are 5 different color bezel/wheel trims across the twins platform... i want to order one that matches my new wheel. Color names are: Mortal, Polar Silver, Black Carbon, Graphite Silver and Gloss Axiom... leave it to GM...

[@mallguvner]

I saw your answer on another forum and you had the old non heated steering wheel for sale. No access that I could tell. If you are replacing a fleet vehicle will the (Idatalink/Maestro) aftermarket radio work or do I need GM to reprogram the brain. Is there a location on here to see any of your for sale items? Also is the wiring for the radio control buttons already underneath the dash or already in the steering wheel?

[@NickBondar12]

First, great video and I am now a subscriber. Your other videos on these trucks will break the bank for me! Second, I was a little bummed to peak up by the tilt lever on my '15 Z71 and not see the spare wire hanging there. Mine was very early production. I haven't checked the fuse yet (I think the box might be located elsewhere on mine?). When I do, can you please clarify what I am looking for? I might be missing something, but it seems like the one you show in the schematic differs from the one circled in the actual photo. I admit I have next to zero knowledge on that type of thing though, so my apologies if my question shows my ignorance. Thanks again!

[@fondupot]

Glad to have you on the channel. Your 15 will more than likely not be prewired. But you could add the heated wheel and new coil. Then just add a wire with an add-a-fuse back to the fuse box. Your fuse box should be in the same spot. It’s in the passenger side footwell. It will be covered with a panel that you need to remove.

[@NickBondar12]

Fondupot's Garage Doh! I was looking driver side. Thanks again. I think I have a new project before Michigan winter makes its ugly return.

[@fondupot]

Follow the link to the Colorado fans forums in the description. There’s a post there where someone added the heated wheel that didn’t have the pre-wiring.

[@jaredharbaugh8419]

What website did you purchase everything from? Thanks

[@fondupot]

GMpartsdirect.com, or tascaparts.com

[@ride4chevy]

I bought the 2nd design 3 post wheel and clock spring by mistake not knowing I needed the 2 post. I have a 2017 z71 so do you think I'd be able to get away with buying the 3 post airbag and still being able to use what I bought? The 2018 airbag I can get with the black bowtie which would be a bonus! Thanks in advance for any input.

[@fondupot]

Darn. It might work but you’ll definitely need the airbag. But those can be pricey. But I think o read someone on the forums a guy put a 3 post wheel/airbag/clockspring in his 2017 that had 2 post. Good luck.

[@00seanzy]

Did you have to have the BCM programmed to function properly? Thanks for the vid!

[@fondupot]

Nope. Plug n play. No BCM reprogramming needed

Looking for a used 3 stups steering wheel like that one removed. Are going to sell it?

[@fondupot]

Did you ever find a wheel? I still have mine for sale.

[@jremeee2011]

Do you still have this wheel? I knew you got a new truck and it don’t work on it. If so I’d like to buy it.

[@fondupot]

Sorry I do not have it anymore. It sold really fast on the coloradofans forums.

[@Dunwelll]

How hard is it to alight the new wheel on the splines? On my GTO it's easy to have it be slightly off center. Does the heated steering wheel come on with remote start?

[@fondupot]

I’m pretty sure there was only one exact way I could realign the splines in the wheel. There’s like a flat spot that has to line up. So it’s dead center back where the original one was. I haven’t tested the remote start turn on yet. I assume it should since my heated seats come on with remote start. But I am not 100% on the whee yet.

[@truckinman86]

Last I checked, heated steering does not come on with remote start. But the wheel heats up quickly.

[@fondupot]

Mine heats up with remote start. 👍🏼

[@natewallinger9270]

Is it possible to put the Canyon steering wheel in the Colorado? I REALLY don't like the look of the Colorado's but love the Canyon's. Also is it possible to put the Colorado airbag cover on the Canyon steering wheel?

[@fondupot]

If you put the canyon steering wheel in the Colorado. You’ll need a canyon airbag. They don’t match up. The shapes are slightly different. But it’s been done before. As long as you get the right connectors and part numbers they are interchangeable between Colorado and canyon.

[@natewallinger9270]

@@fondupot ok thanks, what do you believe would be the easiest way to go about this? Will I need a GMC clockspring as well or will the GMC wheel fit on the Chevy one and have all the connectors work?

[@natewallinger9270]

@@fondupot Also when you're talking about airbags do you mean airbag covers or the airbags themselves?

[@fondupot]

The GMC clockspring and Chevy are the same part #. So you just need the one with the extra wiring for the heat. I’m not sure if you can remove the covers from the airbags. That’s risky because if you damage it, it might explode in your face.

[@natewallinger9270]

I am confused, what are the buttons on the back of the steering wheel? My 2015 chevy colorado z71 does not have those? Will this steering wheel still work?

Yes technically it should work. As long as you have the unused connector under the dash, like shown in the video. And yea all my steering whee buttons worked normally afterwards.

If I don’t have the harness for my 2016 canyon all terrain is there anything I can do for this mod? I can’t seem to find a loose connector.

[@fondupot]

Yes. Follow the link to the Colorado fans forums in the description. Someone else added a heated wheel and the new coil. Then they ran a wire to the fuse box and used an add-a-fuse to get power.

[@nolocbx1]

Thanks man.

[@fondupot]

You’re welcome. Good luck

[@nolocbx1]

Fondupot's Garage I’m not seeing anything on anyone routing wire back to the fuse box.

[@fondupot]

@@nolocbx1 It's post # 273, by user jso902. Also read post # 235 by Coletrain84. Should get you pointed in the right direction. Basically, you will swap out the wheel and the coil pack. And then the two extra wires on the back of the coil pack will be extended and ran to the fuse box. Then you need to add a fuse to get power for the heated function.

[@funguynkc]

Hello everyone! I have a 2017 Canyon SLT. I have the lane departure/collision function on my truck. So...my wheel controls are slightly different. I was able to get my heated wheel (part number 84546626) from GM Parts Superstore (gmpartsonline.net). I just found out that I need the Denali clock spring (23407638) from this video and ordered it today from the same folks. I will let you know how the install goes!

[@fondupot]

Thanks for sharing! Good luck with your install! Thanks for watching!

[@deucedom55]

Can anyone confirm that these part numbers have changed to #84546626 for the wheel, and 84316707 for the clock spring and they will work although the wheel has a forward collision light above the heating light on the left side of the wheel along with the cruise control switches?
