Dealer just called - the swap will work, cruise works, just the audio controls do not work.
LT steering wheel for an LS?
I just bought a leather-wrapped steering wheel for my Maxx LS. It's an LT model, same appearance as the LS wheel but with leather and more controls. It was $50 from ebay.
Anyone do this swap? Will the connectors match up? Not too worried about the audio controls working, more interested in retaining cruise control and getting rid of the cheap feel of the plastic wheel.
Asked the dealer if this would and they did not know.

Dealers don't seem to be interested in this stuff. They just want to overcharge for their repairs or do their recalls and go home.
The compatibility just wasn't there for the audio. I don't know if we need a new harness connector or if our LS Radio needs to be replaced with LT spec radio or both.
For $50 though this mod is well worth it (that's how much my wheel was on eBay). The plastic wheel feels awful by comparison. The fact that cruise continued to work was the clincher for me.

Great info, thanks for sharing and for the update. I'll look into this again.
