Just wondering if it is possible to change the steering wheel for the 05 GT manual with the 04-06 GT Auto steering wheel and will the controls on the wheel work fine with the stock head unit?
Had done a search but couldn't find any information.

As in, put audio controls on an auto (removing the gear changing buttons)? I think it should be fine, not sure whether you need a replacement harness or not.

Was thinking of sourcing the steering wheel from the auto and installing it in a manual 05 GT

my old 2005 GT auto didn't have the audio controls, it only had the transmission controls. I think they changed with the facelifted models.

To my knowledge, only the 3RB had the audio controls on the steering wheel in the pre-face lifted models.

The auto had + - on the steering wheel to change gears. No audio controls.
As mentioned by Matt/swingn, only the manual 3.0R-B had the audio controls on the steering wheel.

Has anyone tried to swap their steering wheel from the 3.0R-B and had much success?

^^^
Has been spoken about a bit, & from my understanding there shouldn't be a reason why it can't be done... But I'm fairly sure no one has taken that next step
If you plan on doing it, make sure that you obtain the steering wheel from the correct model, as the steering wheels from the MY07-MY09 models do not fit (For what I've heard at least
)

yeah I'll be trying to get one from a pre-face lift model, if I'm able to obtain one, I'll make sure to do a full writeup with pics.

Make sure you put in more effort with your writeup than I did with my
rear wiper conversion write-up

Check out the clock springs. See if it supports the extra buttons

pretty sure you can buy the buttons from subaru? i know someone has done it on here before there is a write up but they only work with certain headunits ect so make sure you look into it before you do it.

So no Sportshift controller at all?
