Just completed the upgrade! Very easy!

I bought a 4 stalk from Woody and a cable from PDwight. It took about 90 minutes in total.

I disconnected the battery.

I removed the steering cowl (4 screws behind the wheel and 2 screws on the side of the cowl. It is a clamshell so you lift the top and remove the bottom. That exposes the turn signal unit.

Next, I screwed in the OBC stalk that I removed from the 4 stalk I bought. 2 - 4 mm hex screws.

My 4 stalk had the two hole rubber so I swapped it with my 3 stalk.

I then used the 101 projects book to completely remove the cluster.

I threaded PDwight's cable from the cluster area along the steering colum to the new 4th stalk.

I followed PDwights (after verifying it with the 101 projects book) documentation to insert the new wires into the correct sockets on my connector.

I mounted the ground strap and then "set" everything back in place to test.

Reconnected the battery and tested - Success!

I then screwed everything back together, reset the clock and my stereo head unit and now I have OBC!!!

Thanks Woody for the 4 stalk and thanks PDwight for the cable! Makes this mod really easy!
