I got the controls with wiring harness from a 2007 cobalt. will this work in my 07 panel? Also, Does the switch cover work no matter year or whether the buttons are raised or flush

 

A big thanks to the originator of this thread and to all who contributed. I just did this today on a 2009 LS with the recommended parts and everything works fine.

 

Just got done install the controls on my wifes 2011 HHR LS. Ended up doing a search on local used car lots web sites and got the last 8 digits of the vin of a LT model with the radio controls with the right color bezels. Gave dealer the vin and 3 days later they arrived.The part numbers are:

Cover in lite silver PN# 25812467
Harness PN# 25816515
Switch PN# 25862239

All went well and it works great. Hardest part was getting the airbag out. Now I get to see how long it will take till my wife notices they are there.

 

I just bought new steering wheel , leather it came with the controls and wires it was plug and play, works awesome great deal for $35.00 on Ebay

 

Good old e bay lol.. You get a HHR or Colbolt steering wheel?

Thanks

 

Just installed this into my son's '06 (Hanukkah present). Thanks to this thread, it took less than 30 minutes. Left the old cable harness in place, as I didn't see it interfering with anything. Biggest hassle was putting the wheel cover back in place, until we pulled the horn fuse.

 

I ordered the parts from gmpartsdirect last week and the cover plate is on back order at the moment.
I am looking forward to having the radio/ipod controls on the steering wheel.

 

This is why I love this forum. Good on ya steinywihhr.

Ok, I screwed something up. My horn no longer works.. *sigh*
I think I pulled out the black wires for the horn. Anyone have pic of the wires behind the airbag that show the wiring for the horn?

 

this be of any help?
