Steering wheel upgrade

Looking to upgrade to a flat bottom leather wrapped steering wheel. Anyone knows if the music and cruise control packs and harness can be transferred into the new steering wheel or if the steering wheel is made different internally when the wheel control option is not purchased?

Thanks



New steering wheel




Actual steering wheel

I would think this would be a question for whoever is building the steering wheel... If the shop that’s making that wheel is using an OEM wheel for a core, then the switches should easily be added.
