CR-V Steering Wheel Compatibility?

I dropped my car off at my dealer for some warranty work and they gave me a 2015 CR-V as a loaner. I have to say it's really nice to drive. But the thing that got me most was the steering wheel is nearly identical to my Fit EX. The CR-V has a leather interior, which I really like for the steering wheel, but it has a variable dial for the windshield wiper. Is this a part that would be compatible with the '15 Fit? I've been considering getting a leather wrap for my wheel, but I do like the grip parts at "10 and 2" that the CR-V has. Any thoughts?

You can buy a EX-L steering wheel if you just want leather.

Getting a leather wrap was the best thing for the hands and time well spent for years of enjoyment. My wife is also very happy with the install too.

Thanks, tbFit. Is there a way to have the wrap go under the plastic trim? I think it would upset my AR neatness for my Fit.

Note sure, as you'd end up carving away some plastic to make room for the thickness of the leather and the fold.

There's a thread on the forum here on installing a CR-V wiper-control stalk on the earlier GE fits; done for exactly the same reason you're interested: the variable control for the intermittent delay.

Worth looking for & checking out to see if it's possible for your model...
