Manual steering wheel to automatic
Is it possible to convert a manual steering wheel to an automatic steering wheel? I have an automatic 2008 and found a good deal on a new steering wheel, but, it's a manual. Can I just move over my steering wheel parts? Thanks in advance

As stated, short of the 2005 wheel that was different/used a different air bag, from 2006 onward, it just a cobat steering wheel and it shape air bag.
So you have the basic wheel itself and what shape air bag is uses, then the side buttons and covers that will bolt up to the wheel for it needed configuration.
As for different years, and different button configurations, may need to change the clock spring out, but if you re-use the old buttons/paddle shifters and covers from the old steering wheel, and install them the new wheel, the clock spring you have in play will be fine.
