Hey guys, I tried to do a search before I posted this question. But NO DICE. Has anyone ever tried this product or know someone who has? I really do want to upgrade to the leather look and feel. I went to our local Pontiac dealer and tried to see if I could just order a leather steering wheel. But since I do not have the factery installed stereo controls on my stock wheel I would have to replace the hole wiring harness or other wise I would not be able to use my CC any more. I guess there is only one conecter that come from the steering wheel & the steering colum that controls my CC and the new wheel has one conecter that controls both CC & stereo. My car I guess is not wired for both. So here's my delima, do I spended all that money for the factory leather wheel and have dead controls, spend that much more money and have my car rewired to go with the new wheel, or go with the lesser of the three options and get a Wheelskin for $49 bucks. Need some help here guys. I just want to do it right, like we all would. I'm not one to do things half ass. But if the Wheelskin is a good product. Then maybe that would be the route to take. Thanks in advanced.

No you wont. I did it and all I did was hook up the wires on the back of the s wheel and had them reprogram. Do a search for that.Originally posted by NikkiYou are an e-pimp.Originally posted by beitodesstrafeI tried too, my penis way too big

Thanks disposablehero. So you are saying, you ordered the leather steering wheel w/CC & Stereo controls and it just hooked up to your wiring harness that only supported the CC controls and everything worked just fine? I really do not care if the strero controls worked or not. I just would like for the CC controls to work. The dealership was telling me that the wiring harness that came in my car from the factory has a hole different conection then the one that comes on the leather steering wheel. Here's a pic.
As you can see I have one of those leather rings on it right now. But I would like the real thing. The leather ring make the steering wheel feel so Huge.06 G6 GT Stealth Gray Sadan

They don't know what they are talking about then. I had the stock base cd player without steering wheel controls and I hooked up the new s wheel with radio controls and I had to reprogram the radio because it is set up for the 4 spoke by default. It is easy just be carefull not to pop the s wheel loose and rip the clock spring.Originally posted by NikkiYou are an e-pimp.Originally posted by beitodesstrafeI tried too, my penis way too big

Here is mine lol. Looks like it came from the factory withleather. I also did the shifter and the P brake. I also added the 6 disk changer later. Well worth it. I love the feeling of this leather and this was my fav mod I have done to the interior of my car. Makes driving more enjoyable. I hated the rubber plastic thing that it had from the factory. And getting a cover will never be the same as getting the real thing.Originally posted by NikkiYou are an e-pimp.Originally posted by beitodesstrafeI tried too, my penis way too big

I see Hudson has the perf Euro Wheelskin.
Wheelskins are the best. Nice soft leather.
Here are some older shots of mine (the original - non perf. one color.
The guy I bought it from is the cheapest and nicest guy out there.
Ask for two sets of thread and he will send it to you. You can also
baseball stitch it and there are instructions on his site. Looks awesome.
As for which harness you have that is a gamble. You have to remove your wheel to see. Lots of info on that if you do a search.
Here is where I bought mine:

I'm so glad I got the 3 spoke.
GM probably designed it that way to get more people to fork over option money for the "upgrade" to the 3-spoke. There's no other reason for that thing to exist in the 21st century.

And yes it's the ugliest steering wheel ever built.
