Question Malibu wheel for HHR?

Can anyone tell me if this Malibu steering wheel will fit the HHR? It looks to be exactly the same...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevy...mZ330391474832

GM Part Number 25898295

I know some have used a Cobalt wheel.

I'm hoping for a 'plug-n-play' wheel, so I can get the radio controls...

It looks quite different inside, I dont know about the wiring, but I dont think the airbag will fit.

Are you looking for a stock gray HHR steering wheel? I have one that I took off my '07 panel. Or are you just trying to get the radio controls?
The eBay wheel doesnt look like it is leather.

HHR_style,
The leather doesn't matter too much to me, although it would be nice, all I'm looking for is the radio controls. I've got a gray wheel now, so I'd like to stick with gray. It is my understanding that the Cobalt wheel is a 'plug-n-play'; that the wiring harness is already in my panel for the RC's. (or, is it?) I got very confused while reading the article about changing to radio controls. I call Schram every week, looking for a gray Cobalt (leather) wheel; someday, they'll get one in stock. Still not clear on the wiring harness...
Does the wheel you have have the RC's?

I got the cobalt wheel because it's a slightly smaller size (O.D.) & I wanted the leather but the radio buttons (which were included from Schram) were a nice addition & add a little class
I've seen people buy just the radio controls & add those on but you can get a leather wheel with controls for the same cost if not cheaper. The Cobalt wheel is a direct replacement for our HHR wheel but there are two different cobalt wheels that I saw when I first started looking. There is one that is kind of square shape. You dont want that one. Choose the Cobalt wheel that looks like the HHR & your good to go!

Have you tried car-part.com? National salvage yard search. If there isn't one local have one of the yards ship to you.

Unless it has changed the HHR has the wiring harness for the radio controls all you need is the buttons and the cover.

Evidently it doesn't matter if you have the base radio or the premium?
