This is actually very helpful. I have an all data account as well. I have 2013 mustang and, ironically, the 2019 Ecoboost as well. It's what I used to retrofit the the s550 into the s197. Alas, I don't have the s650 so that is very helpful. Ironically I have a lot of experience retrofitting...

Thanks to both of you for your answers. I noticed that the 2015-2023 vs 2024+ is Fog Light Button: S550 only Dial Off: Both Dial Park: Both Dial Auto: Both Dial On: Both Increase Brightness: Both Decrease Brightness: Both Open Trunk: S650 Only How do you want to address the lack of a fog...

So help me to understand the basics. How is this intended to work? The trunk button is straight forward. What does the dial do? The dial spins indefinitely so I don't understand its purpose that well What does the top right button do? What does the bottom right button do? What is the...

Mine all do. Locks, windows, traction control, headlights, steering wheel. The whole shebang. I'm going to be pulling apart the Dynavin head unit to do the same soon. I don't post it on this forum because technically it is a s197 so I don't think it's appropriate for this forum. But I am...

Are the connectors the same? Indeed, I can design headlight switches. Here's one that I converted from standard ice blue to RGB that is synced up to the ambient light in the MyColor system.

Interesting, so it was more related to the dash, than to the steering wheel. That's good to know. I just picked up a steering wheel on eBay. So I'm going to start the work on the PCBs for the s197. Let me know via PM later if you need any support on the s550. I don't want to bog down your thread.

So sorry, I'm going to ask for a bit more detail. Let me explain why. When I swapped the s550 steering wheel into my s197, I didn't have to swap the s197 clockspring and assembly for the s550. Sure the connectors on the harness were different but I just created my own harness with the...

@WolfMxbee I make custom PCBs and recently created custom PCBs for swapping the S550 wheel into the S197. It won't happen overnight, but I may be able to help by designing s550 compatible PCBs that fit in the S650 body Question for you, did you have to swap the clockspring and steering...

Correct, I have actually already done the work retrofitting the existing PCBs but frankly speaking, they're a lot of work. And I have been thinking for a while about potentially repurposing the buttons. For instance, the nav button or the horse button on non-premium cars. At the end of the...

So there's a couple different plans I have. First and foremost, I plan to redesign the resistance ladders to make them plug and play for 05-09, 10-14 vehicles. My car is a 2013 that I swapped the steering wheel on ages ago. I replaced the resistors and changed the ladder ages ago, but the I...

Hey Guys, Steve from MyElectronicMechanic. I've been working on some cool projects in the background, one specifically, that required me to redesign the pcbs that sit inside the steering wheels. I plan on eventually releasing them into the wild. Just figured I'd share a preview to gauge interest.

Hundreds of comments, not a single response from the seller, Amazon link no longer works. Product was probably taken down due to complaints of false advertising (not working)

db hasn't been around for several months, but I will help you since I actually used this guide to a certain extent to retrofit a 2022 steering wheel into my 2013 and have the heating element function. Assuming Let's assume you made this harness. Basically, for the 12V+, you are going to want...

I hear you. To be honest, I only started compiling this as a method of sourcing the connectors via retailers. I hate HATE splicing wires. I much prefer to slide in a plug and play harness in between where there is a male and female connector available. I don't own a 6th gen actually. But I used...

Hey guys, Updated the formatting since I wasn't happy with how it looked before. Added in wire colors to make it easier to identify the wire you are looking for.
