I think I saw the same wheel. That didn't work on your truck? If I recall correctly, he said there is a workaround to make it work?

I am adding this mod to my list for future upgrades.
I made it work, I had to add a harness to make the paddles work and everything works just like it should now. It pretty easy as its only three wires you need to run then tap into wires already there for the +/- gears.

Yeah I think he messaged me and I forgot to get that this mornign.. Ill get them
Thanks Jesse, however those are same ones I already had and shared with him about the same time haha. He found the right wires though and got it working just like it should. Is there a schematic for the column mounted GSM? That's more what we were after since that's his setup. I never looked into them much as a while everyone with those had everything prewired so it was plug and play for them.

Hi guys, this may seem like a silly question.

Is it possible to convert a 2021+ F-150 steering wheel to a Raptor steering wheel with paddle shifters. I seen where people have put Raptor steering wheels into the earlier model F150s. Does anyone have any information on doing The conversion on the latest f-150s???

Please I'm open to all ideas and suggestions. I recently supercharged my truck and notice that the transmission likes to search for gears sometimes. My truck has the column shifter But when I'm dragging it gets a little bit sketchy trying to control the with one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the column shifter.
I wish Ford had put paddle shifters on my truck.I could use them on it. My 2018 Fusion SE came with paddle shifters and it is just a grocery getter sedan with the 1.5L 4 cylinder EB engine. You know, just basic transportation.

Jesse,would this be possible with your conversion already in place for the console shifter?

I did the 12" display swap,and console shifter swap with your parts(man I really love it!!!),but would LOVE to do paddle shifters on the wheel.
I can pretty much Guarantee my buddy Chris would want in as well.(y)(y)

Did u run the harness after the SCCM and then tapped into the shifter column harness ?

Yup, added the three pins to the SCCM connector then ran those down and tapped into the wires at the front right of the console.

I have CoPilot360 Assist 2.0 on an XLT 302A, which means that I have adaptive steering. I wanted to know if I can rig up the Raptor Wheel? I also wanted to see if I can use the heated steering wheel? I looked through a few of these threads, but since the CoPilot360 Assist 2.0 is standalone for even Lariat packages, it was hard to tell whether the folks doing the swaps had adaptive steering or not.

The other big question is on the heated steering wheel. It seems like it used to be easy, but I haven't read about anyone doing a non-heated to heated conversion yet. Since that's only $100, I figure that I should do both at once.

Thanks for all of the great info!

You do not have Adaptive Steering. That isn't even an option under 600a, and it's a stand alone option.

Looking into doing a raptor wheel swap on my 502a lariat, can anyone confirm if i would need a harness for the paddle shifters to work?

99% you most likely will, easiest way is to pop down the steering wheel column cover and look for the three wires in the SCCM connector as mentioned earlier in the thread.
