    Tech tip! Leave the T50 bolt threaded on the last few threads so you won't reef the steering wheel off and possibly damage the clockspring and connectors! Great video man!

      any tips for locating the clips that release the airbag, does the wheel need to be centered?

    • @douggross8093
      @douggross8093 2 роки тому +1

      Normally just turn the wheel 180 degrees so it's upside down to get to the holes. Then I normally use a pick or even a small Allen wrench to insert into the hole and push the clip. They are a pain even at the best of times so it all about patience. If you don't feel comfortable definitely take it to get done somewhere. It sometimes helps to take of the trim from around column off to get better access. And most importantly disconnect both cables from the battery before doing any of this. Good luck!

      You'll lose your auto paddles (if you had them), you'll also want to verify the buttons are the same. You can't add a wheel with stereo buttons to a non-stereo wheel car and have them work without a different clock spring and harness.

You can't add a stereo control wheel to a non stereo control car without a diff clock spring and harness.

      Hi. Know this is a late reply but if the clockspring turned at all while the steering wheel was off then you'll need a new clockspring as the winding inside of the clockspring unwound and broke. It's a thin ribbon of wire inside of the clockspring that is very delicate and the slightest movement can break it. Hope this helps!

      That would not be a direct swap, you would have to move over clock spring/wiring and you will lose at least 2 functions (DIC controls and rev match) along with heated function (if supported) from the 6th gen that the 5th gen wheel doesn't have. Also you'd have to find an airbag that would be compatible with the stock 6th gen system. Plus, it would be a downgrade overall ;)
