Steering Wheel Control Swap
 

Hey ScoobyNet,


New to the forums here. Just picked up a 2015 Impreza Premium Sedan last week and have a few questions for a DIY project I'm considering.


1) Is it possible to swap out JUST steering wheel controls? I currently have an 11-button audio controls switch on my wheel, but I'm looking to actually downgrade to the simpler 8-button audio controls switch (from say a WRX or Forester of the same year) for a more seamless aftermarket HU integration. The two switches look similar in size and fit, so I figured it's possible. See below.

2) If the swap is possible, would any sort of modifications need to be made to the electrical wiring/harness the new controls connect to? Or would this mod be more of a "plug and play" type of deal?


I'm really shooting in the dark here, but any help or details on the work foreseen to get this done is appreciated.


Thanks!
