I wants driveshaft.

 

[Captainstr8edge]

me too!

I has no monies.

Start man-whoring

that doesn't make my car go faster. lots of other things I could spend close to $200 on.

Yea, but whats going to make you enjoy it 1000x better? A nice steering wheel. My wrx one was leather, and man it made a huge difference when I went back in my mustang with the shitty pastic

I wants driveshaft.

DSS CF? Gets all the biches. I wish there was a way to make the 13' shelby one work...

 

[Captainstr8edge]

OK guys, so I talked it over with Jess and we can plan to meet at my place if you guys want. we can hang out, bring beer if you want to drink, I have a couple 12 packs of soda (mountain dew and Pepsi) and we can order dinner or go out if you guys want. jake, feel free to bring your girl too. pm or text me if you want the address.

I'll just have to find out if i have to work Saturday. I'll let you know

Sweet. Much better then wasting the day driving in my rolla.

I'll let em know

 

[Captainstr8edge]

sounds good guys

 

[Captainstr8edge]

So what time is good for you guys for Saturday?

 

[S197gt07]

Afternoon would work best for us. Apparently we might head into the city at night? I may just stay back, haha.

 

[Captainstr8edge]

ok, so want to plan for Noon then?

 

[S197gt07]

works for me

 

[Captainstr8edge]

Billy, whats the word? will you be able to make it?

 

[HellsBells]

I should be able to make it but I probably can't stay too late!

 

[Captainstr8edge]

sounds good.
Jake, you find out about work yet?

 

[Guido]

Nothing yet. I'll probably find out tomorrow

Well. Billy is south, Jake is north, and the 2 of us are in the middle of both of them.

We should really figure out what we want to do. I really don't think the idea of "cruising" from A-B is cool since, well I drive a fucking corolla.

I'd be game to just meet up at Jakes place and chill out. Or, if its to far for Billy, we could meet up at either your or my place and chill out, have beverages, and have 4 player COD going on?

There is much time.

Also, on a time to burn some money note, new GT500 steering wheels for DIRT CHEAP

Or buy it from tousley.

I did

If I didn't already have the Boss steering wheel I'd be all over that like a fat kid on a cupcake. Best daily used mod I did was the Boss wheel, that Alcantara feels soooooo good and it doesn't heat up or cool down with the weather like that fake pleather did. If you need any help getting the SWC(music controls) working let me know, I got all the info. It'll work easier with an aftermarket HU though. But apparently the pin is there in the shaker for SWC and it even works you just have to add a pin to the harness.

Do you have a link to a good writeup? I know the swap itself takes 20min, but I thought you needed an adapter for the clockspring to just get the cruise control functions to work.

I liked the half/half of the gt500 wheel. And it was $155, haha.

Well if you're handy with a soldering iron it might take you 5-10 min to rewire the new wheel. Basically what I did was I sacrificed my old wheel since it wasn't in the best of shape, and cut the old connector off the wheel with as much wire as possible.

Then on the new wheel I cut the new connector off as close to the connector as I could giving me the most wire possible.

Stripped the wires, soldered em together and electrical taped em back together in a single loom so it looks factory

This leaves you a few extra wires for the SWC on the right side of the wheel. To get those working you need 2 pigtails, part# is WPT440 I believe, there is an extra connector on the clock spring to pass the signal through, so you can wire those to the WPT440 pigtail on one end, and if going on an aftermarket head unit you simple put one wire to ground and the other to the input on whatever SWC adapter you are using, just follow setup for the adapter for whatever a 2010+ car uses.

If you are going to a stock head unit that should also be possible, simply repin the stock connector on pins 18 and 19 with the wires coming from the WPT440 and you should be ok. using this diagram as reference on the connector that looks like the one on the left, and it would be the two pins to the right of #20 in that picture

But from what I remember from when I researched it was that the SWC work on a stock shaker because its basically the same head unit used in some F150 trucks which had SWC, which incidentally is where that WPT440 connector comes from, and I'm assuming we share the same clock spring too since the connector is there and functional even on an 05

For info on the wires, I found this post on moddedmustangs

Or if you don't want to go there

Cruise Control Splicing:
Old Connector >>> New Harness:
white >>> gray
blue >>> brown
red >>> red (pwr)
green >>> black (gnd)


Music Controls: (this is the resistance between the new harness green and purple wires as each button is pushed)
Music Icon = 510 ohms
VOL (-) = 50 ohms
VOL (+) = 120 ohms
|<< = 335 ohms
>>| = 210 ohms

Phone Controls: (this is the resistance between the new harness yellow and blue wires as each button is pushed)
Speaker Icon = 50 ohms
OK = 335 ohms
Phone Icon = 510 ohms

So basically the green and purple wires are for the volume controls and stuff and the yellow and blue are for the phone controls/sync controls.

On the boss wheel this wasn't an issue because it doesn't have sync or phone controls, so it was just wiring for the music controls, if you wanted all of them to work I'm sure with a resistor or 2 you can make it all work.


Yea I did a buttload of research when I did this swap lmao

P.S. I made this writeup myself lol

 

[S197gt07]

Thanks man. I just need to think about this more, because I'm still confused as fuck and I know my way around circuits and soldering guns.

Also, I'm having a tard day, SWC = ?

And if I don't want the music controls to work I don't need the WPT440 right?

SWC= steering wheel controls which are the music controls. if you don't need em working you don't need the WPT440 connectors, just resolder the old connector to the new harness for cruise control to work.

So it would be just this part you need
