I will update post 3 that I reserved with a "how-to" on the hardware install side, but really if you look at the performance steering wheel guide (

Make sure not to pull the whole assembly out of the column. Very Important".... and ignore him and pull it all out
There is no re-wiring either. It is purely just taking things off (airbag is the trickiest if you haven't done it before, but it's pretty straightforward) and then put it back together. Basic screws and plugs. I have not done a single thing to my car previously and I did this in probably an hour and a half (including taking photos and going slowly). (that is just for the hardware, obviously, not including Mike figuring out the coding)
