If you’re on the fence about swapping the steering wheel because don’t want to tap into the wiring then give it a couple of weeks. We’ll see a plug & play harness available in the very near future.

I wouldn’t count on that happening anytime soon. Been waiting over a month and half for a harness to ship from him.
What kind of harness? They were shut down for inventory recently. I saw it on the website a couple of weeks ago.

I ordered the Upfitter harness. He gave a shipping time of April 15th. He apparently made sure his dealers got them because he had 42 orders left. And for the last two weeks they’ve had just 10 orders that haven’t been shipped. There’s about 6-7 of us in my thread and none have received them and there’s been varying excuses as to why. Yet they have time to announce and release new harnesses for other vehicles.

This conversion is stupidly simple. It's 3 pins / wires and use the small spike taps. I have about 3$ in parts into it at most.

Just make your own with the info here for next to nothing. They unveiled their harness almost a year ago now saying it would be available soon, I didn't want to wait so just did it myself. Glad I did since it took them this long to come out with the dang thing.

Anyone have extra pins they’d sell?

If you have a King Ranch, this is what it looks like.
I went the ebony steering colum upper and lower to make the black wheel not look out of place.
Wow! That looks awesome! How did you go about dying the red/orange stripe? Do bad you couldn't dye it to a brownish color to accent the rest of the interior.

That was the plan ( the 2 king ranch colors from the seat .) I was only able to find the dye for older king ranch colors. The new colors are more orange and brown. I went with Ford Charcoal color just to make the strip.

Can you describe how you actually dyed it though? Did you have to unstitch anything?
