Steering wheel upgrade, Airbag questions
I'm going to upgrade my standard sport wheel (triangle airbag type) to the M sport wheel (round airbag type), first question is about the removal of current wheel/airbag and refit of the new one, How? Guide?
Also I've read about potential airbag light problems requiring a dealer to reprogram & remove the errors? Any help would be great. Last edited by Jus71n; 11-13-2015 at 05:45 AM.. |

Check this thread for airbag removal instructions. Also look on youtube. There are bunch. Basically insert something long and slender into the little hole then wiggle around until you hit the right spot.

You won't get an error light unless you reconnect the battery without the airbag plugged in.
If you do happen to get though they are very easy to remove using Tool32. |

I believe you are referring to little slits right? You can push right through.

Ok so new wheel has arrived, and after a little fiddling I've released the airbag on mine but there seems to be a connection missing, or an extra one on my old wheel, pictured?

GREAT upgrade. I will be doing a steering wheel upgrade soon too. What did figure out about that extra connector?
