Yes! Almost all LED steering wheels only require power and ground. Some also have a separate OBD2 module that needs to be installed. But in your case, your install should be very similar to mine. Just take extra care when opening up the clock-spring and you sound be fine. Good luck!
I don’t have the link anymore, it’s been deleted. But if you just search for an e60 steering wheel on Ali Express, you’ll be able to find one. They’re all probably made in the same factory.
Here’s the link to the wheel, make sure you contact the seller before you place an order: a.aliexpress.com/_m0UUsr6 If the link doesn’t work, just type this into the search: Custom Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel Alcantara Leather For BMW E60 M5
It absolutely does! You just have to keep the battery disconnected for about 10 minutes to allow it to reset. I’m speaking from experience-installing this steering wheel. If you’re having trouble, maybe try to keep the battery disconnected for a little longer, it will definitely clear - I can only confirm this if it’s pertaining to the steering wheel or the the door panel airbag, both of which I have removed and reinstalled without issues.
@@TheAutoSurgeon - The only way I've seen to disable the airbag light is with a dedicated scan tool, you would have to be the only one that 's been able to do it by simply disconnecting the battery, sorry for being sceptical but I've tried it on numerous occasions and it doesn't work.
I’m not sure, I don’t think my car is special. As long as the airbag is reconnected and good, I don’t see why the airbag code would be permanent. Maybe it’s a BMW thing, if you’re talking about trying it on different brands.
It unfortunately looks like they’ve changed the ad. I’m sure you can find another one through a quick search on Ali Express! Most of them are probably made in the same factory.
It was about $1200 CAD. It’s going to be a pretty involved DIY, depending on what modifications you’re planning to make. If you’re going to be changing the shape of the steering wheel (flat bottom with cutouts) you’re going to need to make a mold and remold the shape of the steering wheel. But if you plan to keep the original shape and just re wrap it in new leather with the LED display, it should be a relatively simple process.
Great informative video, no bullshit filler, just straight to the point with clearity
That is actually a beautiful steering wheel wow I’ve never seen this one before
Mate you should start making these steering wheels, as I would buy 1 straight away
Easier than I thought thx

Amazing video.

This was always scary to me as I didn’t know how the steering was set up. I hope my 335 is the same as this

Video on the carbon fiber dash board?
Made all the interior carbon trim myself via a skinning process.
how is the steering wheel holding up?
Holding up great! No issues
Hello brother I have a gen 5 galaxy pro led on a pre lci e60 is it the same method? I am scared to touch the clock spring 😆
Yes! Almost all LED steering wheels only require power and ground. Some also have a separate OBD2 module that needs to be installed. But in your case, your install should be very similar to mine. Just take extra care when opening up the clock-spring and you sound be fine. Good luck!
@@TheAutoSurgeon thank you brother i will give it a try,this trick not drain battary when the car is locked right? Thanks
Yes, just make sure the power source you tap into is only powered when the car is on.
@@TheAutoSurgeon I will make same with yours 😁 I trust you and I like also the interior lights it will be the next setup I hope
Is it similar connections with as the e46? To wire
You should be able to find a similar way to wire the power on your e46!
How’s the steering wheel holing up a year later??
It’s great! No issues at all.

By re-connecting the battery without the airbag connected you're going to have the airbag warning light on your cluster.
Yes, but when you reinstall the airbag, disconnect the battery and reconnect, it clears the airbag light.
@@TheAutoSurgeon - Have you actually tried this, I can tell you that simply disconnecting and reconnecting the battery will not clear the airbag light
It absolutely does! You just have to keep the battery disconnected for about 10 minutes to allow it to reset. I’m speaking from experience-installing this steering wheel.

How much was it ?
About $1200 CAD.
holy fuck
the aliexpress lionk appears to be to a different wheel without the led display

@@TheAutoSurgeon how much did you pay for yours im considering just buying the led bit from ohc motors and doing the rest of the wheel diy
