I need some advice on how difficult it is to replace the
"iPhone 12/12 Pro Audio Control Cable and Wireless Charging Antenna"
As long as I don't have to do anything with the back glass I think I am ok but since the part is $70 I was hoping for a repair guide but I cannot find one.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks for the referral, @flannelist, but they've completely changed the volume button arrangement on the 12. On the X, the flex cable crossed over the back of the phone, stopping at the charging coil, then went to the motherboard on the opposite side.
On the 12, however, they switched the logic board to the left side of the phone. The cable now goes to the power button as well, so all four buttons are now on a single flex cable connected to the charging coil.
Replacing it will require removing the battery and the motherboard, just like on the X. I'd do a guide on it, but I don't happen to own an iPhone 12. However, others have done a video guide; here's one that looks reasonable on YouTube.

If you prefer written, step by step directions, you can use the iFixit guides for the Battery, Front-Facing Cameras and Rear-Facing Cameras to get through the first part of that video, then follow along the video for the rest.
Many of the replacement flex cables I've seen do not come with the charging coil; I would strongly suggest getting one that is already soldered to the charging coil. For example, here's one on Amazon that would work.
Hope this helps, @paulc. Holler if you need any help along the way and let us know how it goes.
这个答案有帮助吗？
Yup. They very much have. The 12 also contains that fun trap of a 5G antenna that's soldered to the bottom of the logic board and is very easy to tear if you don't know it's there.
My answer was written in haste so I wouldn't forget to post it :) Methodology is the same, but not everyone is me that rips apart iPhones without a second thought.

I would follow the iPhone 12 battery replacement guide and then use the iPhone X guide as a reference for the actual wireless charging antenna .

I should have added the reason for needing this replacement is that my volume button up does not work.
Thank you
