Yep. The switch I bought was tethered together, pretty convenient! I didn't expect any of the audio controls to work, but they seem to be just fine. Awesome surprise 
I was looking forward to an easy install, but the whole steering wheel had to come off in order to do this. I'm pretty sure it's because I have an '07 Base, though. There were two screws on each panel/switch, instead of one.

Quick question for those of you who did remove the steering wheel, did you line up the two slash marks in the center when you put the wheel back on? I did, and the steering is off just a bit.
Here's a picture of what i'm talking about, ignore the red arrow

I also ran into a little issue with the wheel and steering shaft marks. Perfectly in line and tie rods almost exactly the same threads showing, my wheel was off. Just pulled the wheel and moved it one spline to correct the issue.

Thanks Ian, glad to know I wasn't the only one who ran into that issue. Steering wheel also feels incredibly tight, so I might just need to loosen it a bit. Every time I make a left or right turn, the wheel makes a sound. Easy enough fix though, I ended up replacing the tamper bolts with regular hex head cap screws

Well, I recently received all the parts necessary in order to get the cruise control up and running on my 08 base and realize it is now time to drop the extra cash on the critical unit. Before getting my car uprev tuned I want to make sure I get the right package and will be able to get the cruise control uploaded with my first tune.
Unfortunately, I have no tuner in the area and was hoping i could get an etune that would effectively load the cruise control rom. Is this possible or do I have to have it done by a professional tuner? Additionally, I have a base and have not modded it yet, so I was hoping to get the osiris standard package so that when i do modify my car, I have an etune already paid for.
If anyone could please chime in and inform me what package is necessary and whether or not I need to contact an uprev employee before purchasing the standard I would be extremely grateful. Thanks.

They can sell you the uprev standard kit and etune you when your ready.
I got my uprev standard used so I had to have a license transfer. Vince did it for the same as uprev, and we went thru a good few more than 3 revisions of etunes.

From my experience I would call vince at RT tuning.

Okay, going off that I will get in contact with Vince and try to work something out. Any idea what the time span may be to order the kit and get it up and running? I realize that the cipher will take some time to get an accurate gauge of my car's performance and I am hoping that once I send him the results he will be able to attach the cruise control with the first etune? If you don't mind me asking, why did it take so many revisions...was it because you were the first one to receive it and there were a few issues to sort out? Should I expect the same or has everything been resolved since them? I'm assuming a a few people have done it since them. Will reserve the rest of the questions for Vince, but would definitely appreciate the input so I know what I am getting myself into. Thanks.
We did all the tuning about a month before trying the cruise control install. He transferred my tune parameters to a modified touring model ROM.

This might be a stupid question, but what would happen if I swapped my 07 base ECU with an 07 enthusiast ECU? Would that work rather than doing the UpRev tune on my current ECU?
Thanks
Thanks
