Just got the wheel yet to install
As the car wasn't here this morning and gone by this hour I downloaded a pic of the current wheel I have
I had no idea this wheel is going to light up blue ..I'm really in for a treat now !!

Isn't the picture in post #4 of your old steering wheel?
The two thumb-wheel controls on the right side are for ACC, at least they were in my old XKR?
If not, what was the 2nd wheel for? One is for cruise speed, and the other is for?

The lower dash will need to be removed to gain access to the rear of the wheel to pop the clips out
The key is obtaining the correct screwdriver for the job , as the screwdriver has to be inserted and then turned the few I tried seemed to be too narrow.. although with perseverance I prevail and actually bent the driver from the sheer force .
A screwdriver with a wider tip will make this job a little easier

I just fitted a heated steering wheel to my car and found the airbag an absolute pain to remove, took over 30 minutes. Getting one side to pop out was the easy bit, then suddenly the airbag just jumped forward both sides.
Just waiting on it getting programmed and I'll have heated steering.
