Highline steering wheel retrofit, but I am still waiting for squib and loom.
Is this from Golf 7 steering wheel?
This is the first upgrade I would like to do on my 2018 Caddy so wondering what parts do I need?
Thnx

Today I did a service. Changed oil and filters :)
Will start by taking out shelfs from the truck tomorrow, and from there I will start my OEM+ project.

I tried to put on the window tint films... A complete disaster

Yeah !

Don't do it - Having watched a pro doing it a few times, the skill and the tricks are just too much for me, so it is definitely a job for the professionals.

I second that , I didn’t thing the caddy rear windows were that curved and I’ve seen people do it but I couldn’t get it right so peeled it off , there’s a skill to it

Something like this ?
For a curved window you have to wet the outside of the glass and place the film on the outside - inside facing the glass.
Then using a squeegee thing and a heat gun/hairdryer you have to stretch the film to sit flat on the outside - let it cool then wet the inside and place in position inside (remove any protective film first, if there is one !?).
Squeegee it all nice and flat and bubble free.

Simple :)
Or there could be a different method that I haven't seen ?

Basically - Leave it to a pro !

Hi, this steering wheel is from Caddy Highline. But I had to buy squib and airbag loom.

5k0 953 569 BC - BF is for manual BC is for auto
Sorry I dont know the part number for the airbag loom. And then of course you need to code it via software.
