G90 Steering wheel

Has anyone else sat behind the new G90? That steering wheel is AMAZING. The leather used is top notch and the 10 and 2 grips are more pronounced! Wonder if it is compatible with the Genesis/G80?

The wheel on my 2015 Genesis sedan doesn't feel that great, too thin for my taste. So, having the option to swap it out for a better one would be nice.

Most modern cars have a ton of wiring that goes into the airbag, the paddle shifters and the steeling wheel controls, so I highly doubt these two can be interchanged easily. The functionality on the G90 wheel looks very similar to the G80 wheel, but the wiring harness and electronics might be completely different - the airbag adds a level of risk that would be unacceptable to me personally. If that thing goes off wrong, or not at all due to different connectors/wiring, you could potentially be in a heap of trouble ...

I looked at swapping steering wheels with several Hyundai and Kia models but compatibility always seemed the problem. For example, the heated steering wheel switch is different on the G80 vs almost all the SW's I looked at for comparison. I eventually had my SW customized with thumb grips, perforated leather, and thickened. The unexpected complication was every US company couldn't match the color of the leather. I ended up sending it to Poland.

I wish we had the schematics to compare both wheels.

Mark, if you don't have anything constructive to say, don't.
