(10 miles later, I realized how slow I was going and passed.) I think the center display looks a bit cheap but it seems to work well. I like the digital gauge cluster/display. I'm finding new info there all the time. Having some minor issues w/Android Auto but that's probably just because I'm not use to it and/or I don't know how it works. No biggie. The auto high beams (never had them before) are a great touch, especially at this price point.You can get the Honda accessory heated steering wheel which is also leather wrapped for around $300 and install it yourself, or have the Honda dealer install it.1) How difficult is it to swap out an EX-L/Touring steering wheel? Cost?
2) Can an auto dimming inside rear view mirror be retrofitted? Cost?
HAGO!

Thanks but I only see a $360 HEATED leather wrapped wheel. I don't need heat. That was one of the 2 options my Enclave doesn't have and I've never felt the need for it. Also, a quick read through the .pdf install manual shows that this (at least the heated version) would be WAY beyond my capabilities. I guess I'll have to check w/the dealer to see what they'd charge for both a non-heated, leather wrapped wheel and installation.You can get the Honda accessory heated steering wheel which is also leather wrapped for around $300 and install it yourself, or have the Honda dealer install it.
You can also add the Honda auto dimming review mirror with Homelink, around $250, and install it yourself or have a shop install it for you.
College Hills Honda sells the accessories online at a fair price.
Unless I can verify that both the manual and automatic dimming mirrors mount the same, I'm out. I'm not replacing an expensive windshield just to get the auto dimming mirror.Welcome to the forum Monk.
As S2k_Duke said you can get the heated steering wheel but I have never seen a non leather version offered. I think short of using a wrap there is not much you can do about the leather.
As for the Auto Dimming rear view mirror I am in the same boat as you. I did buy one and figured out that Pin 1 & 2 are 12Vdc power. I THINK if memory serves that pin 1 was the positive.
The problem is that I cannot get the old one off. I see videos of people pulling them forward on other vehicles while doing a slight twisting motion. I tried that but the force exerted got me worried that the windscreen might shatter or the glued on block would break off the glass. So I basically gave up and made a post like yours but no one seemed to know how to remove the non dimming versions since NA only gets the dimming type.
I have looked from behind and I see no clip or screw but the Auto dimming model does have a single screw. My feeling is that even if you get it off, the holding block on the glass is not the same so you might have to remove it and glue in the correct one. This is only a guess on my part but I just abandoned the idea of finding out because the removal of the old one was getting too risky.

Looks like we were typing at the same time; just use the heated-wheel instructions and ignore the bits about all the new parts dealing with the heater. Instructions are available here: https://www.collegehillshonda.com/product/08U97-TLA-110.htmlLet me add, I just found a brand new leather wrapped wheel on eBay for $75.
Any idea if swapping the wheel itself is as easy as pulling the old one off, swapping the "guts" on the new one and reinstalling?
The problem is that the non dimming ones do not have a hold down screw like the dimming versions, so it's not that easy to get them off. Also the base plate on the glass looks smaller on the non dimming models.I also upgraded the rear-view mirror to auto-dimming with homelink buttons. The cliff notes version is to use the mirror from the 2018+ Odyssey, combined with a slightly modified harness from an Accord. Link to the thread is below. Let me know if you have any questions.

I mispoke. I understand they're all black. (I'm good w/that.) My question is that it looks like the heated steering wheels seem to have different part numbers for the '17/'18 and '19. I wonder if the difference is in the heating part or in the wheel itself. I mean, if the wheel itself (which is what I'm after) is identical from '17-'19 (other than the lack of heating elements), it's all good. I'll get the $75 unit on eBay and do the job myself. If the '19 wheel is different (different number of splines?), that limits my options.All CRV steering wheels are black, it doesn't matter what the trim level or interior color.
I wanted homelink and auto dimming. Upper trims use homelink buttons in the overhead console.
No reason why you can't install just the auto dimming mirror if you don't need homelink.
Where is it, I cannot see any on mine. A picture would really help.There is a hold down screw on the non-dimming mirror...
To answer another question above: the wiring harness I used for the dimming mirror is added to the vehicle and doesn't alter the vehicle's wiring. So, no fear about a lease return. It can easily be undone.
Seems like I read on this forum that the 19's have a different volume control switch/slider on the left side of the steering wheel. Did a quick search but didn't find it. Perhaps this is why the 19 has a different part number? Just a guess, and based only on a questionable memory of another post.I mispoke. I understand they're all black. (I'm good w/that.)

I don't have a garage so I don't care about Homelink. I only care about the auto dimming function. I'm not sure I'm up to runninbg wiring all the way down the A pillar. I was hoping there would be someplace in the overhead console to plug into.
As always, I appreciate everyones help.
HAGO!
