It was rather easy. There is a harness in the steering wheel that goes to each of the multifunction switches. Just needed to ID the where that terminated and create a new harness from the new location to the terminus of the old one. It was harder to get the switch to float in the new location. Had to fabricate bracketry to keep it in place.

I will be attempting to do this in the next couple weeks! Any tips or tricks to help out? Also, do you have any pictures of the bracket you created to hold it in place?
