08-16 dash swap Questions

I tried to find an answer to this, but I'm weak at searching apparently.

I want to swap in the newer boxier dash (which I know is a massive task) after I get my Ex back up and running.

What I'm struggling about right now is the PATS key and the newer steering column. how do I get the newer steering column and transponder to not interfere with the ECU?

Came to say the same.

OP they have Column helpers and swap helpers that help adapt some of the electronics. The wiring and ducting kits look to be the most difficult and time consuming.
