Basically I'd like your review. But you skip the part that I was most interested in watching and that was replacing the airbag cover. For me that was the most difficult part trying to remove it without damaging it to add the new one. Also, I would recommend using a breaker bar and not a ratchet to remove the center bolt. First of all that much torque on a ratchet wrench is not good for it.
So I actually forgot to include this in my script, but I opted to keep the original airbag/cover in tact and install it on the yoke. The OEM looked good with the rest of the yoke, so i decided to avoid the hassle. Sounds like I was correct in assuming it was difficult! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Some reviewer are installing this without removing the control module. Is the control module removal from thebold steering wheel necessary if you want to keep the heating steering?
I noticed that as well, but unless the wheel comes with a module (mine didn’t), you definitely need to transfer it. It controls the buttons, horn, and heated steering. Basically your wheel can’t communicate to the car without it and will show error messages. Again can’t said if other reviewers got one with a chip pre-installed or just skipped that part of the install. Thanks for watching!
