- The Carbon Fiber indulgence continues on my Audi RS3 as I install a gorgeous Carbon Fiber LED steering wheel from the guys at Weaponized Carbon. The quality is absolutely insane and the install is pretty straight forward.
Follow me as I run through the ins and outs of switching out the factory steering wheel for this new piece of art. I also chuck on some new carbon fiber interior trims to tie it all together.
I always enjoy responding to your comments so let me know what you think, and as always, please feel free to LIKE and SHARE, and consider SUBSCRIBING for more content!

This steering wheel 🤤 shut up and take my money!
Awesome video, well done and very detailed unlike most that just skip through everything and show you a finished product.
Great tutorial as usual, A+ video. Keep them coming. 🔥🔥
Wow I love the new carbon fiber steering wheel it makes the car looks so much more aggressive!!!
Great video, very nice job, like the pixelation :0) . Such a cool steering wheel. Maybe a subtle LED grill logo would round out the full LED theme
Ordered mines today can’t wait until delivery
Great video and music Alex! You have so much patience with those fiddly things, but I agree that the end result is very flash!
I followed your instructions to connect the wires, but the LED light isn't working. Why could this be? Where might the problem lie?
Have you paired the steering wheel to the module? I think you need to hold down both buttons or something like that. Anything in the instructions?
This is a great video and very informative and helpful keep it up mate 🫡
The boost gauge portion is probably off by some degree, the stock map sensor is only capable of measuring up to ~22psi of boost. Unitronic stage 2 files have been known to hit almost 25psi of boost in some cases, for a more reliable reading you really need a manual boost tap and sensor/gauge ill probably be ordering my steering wheel without the led on top
Why not get both lol
@@ap7977 cause it would drive me crazy if I saw two different readings for the boost which didn't match up. All the additions I've done on my rs3 have been OEM+ mods so I don't want it to stick out too much compared to the rest of the interior, if I wanted it to be straight race car I'd buy one of those pillar gauge mounts and send it 🤣
@@mohibsiddiqui8273 this is OEM tho..my mate has one and it just looks too good for me to care about the reading being slightly off😂 I mean even if you get the mounted ones you still won’t get a perfect reading right..
@@ap7977 for accurate boost readings you need a manual boost tap, which is a reference you plug into a boost gauge which will give you the actual boost pressure. The one on the led uses the map sensor to calculate boost pressure but the sensor is only designed to read up to 21.9psi, if the map sensors are upgraded its possible that they should show the correct boost level
Good morning, where did you get the 12V to power the LEDs? compliments
Check the video at 12:01....it's spliced into the 12V output from the steering wheel centre..
This is the way the company suggested it but make sure your battery has been disconnected before doing anything around airbag wiring. To be clear, do not touch the wiring that goes to the yellow plug....this is airbag only.
they should come like this from factory :(
I didn't find the video removing the airbag nor the side buttons.?
th-cam.com/video/FLt2Ed-707U/w-d-xo.html
how do your buttons have power? i was told my buttons would lose power because there’s no harness connector. you seem to have the same wiring as me
What did you do with the white white? Do you just leave that white long white doesn’t connect anywhere? Is that a return horn wire? And hat did you do with it?? Thanks.
Oooh trying to remember, but yes I think one wire was unused. If that's the case just wrap it up and tuck it away.
Can you make a video on how to setup the lights to come red at 8500 RPM like for older v8 RS5s
If you mean the tachometer on the digital dash, this was done as part of the Stage 1 tune.... I'm not sure how you would be able to change that without some sort of coding.
Thank you for the comprehensive videos. I am getting one myself without the LED. Are you going to tune the car?
Thanks 🙏 Yes the car is now tuned....there is a video of it on the channel 😁
@@frax77 Nice, these cars are monsters. Just a quick note: If you happen to tune using the DS1 platform, it will interfere with anything that uses the OBD2 port (including the aftermarket steering wheel with LED).
@@khvidtube1617 I'm on a custom Spectune so all good 👍
@@frax77sorry the red câble is attached on airbag?? In m'y golf 6r i dont find One other place for 12volt!!!
Hello please can you tell me where I can get this from ? The link on your bio isn’t working for me , please, please please
Oh that sux...looks like their website has shut down....buggah! If you do some googling, there are plenty of other suppliers around. Will update bio 🙊
can you turn off the lights if you want and just have a normal steering wheel?
Yes you can but I think that would mean the display would be off as well. Alternatively change the rpm settings so that just the shift lights dont come on. I.e. set low rpm to something like 7000rpm, so it never starts lighting up.
good
Dont like the steeringwheel but like the effort and tutorial.
I have the same steering wheel but my box i think died :( i have no signal to the steeringwheel
Argh that sux. Did you check the OBD2 connection? Otherwise, reach out to the supplier 👍
@@frax77 yeah I gave it a shout 1h ago, and now is working fine, I think there was a bad connection at obd2, hopefully that solved my issue 🙏
Would this also work on a audi a3 1.4 litre 2016 if you know? Any help is appreciated
I think they ran a different style of steering wheel but I'm sure there are equivalent options out there.
@@frax77 thank you very much
Can you buy the obd module mine broke thanks
hey mate, hows the wheel after all these months?
Still looks like the day I fitted it. Carbon and alcantara have held up really well.
Alex will that module fit to Audi s1
Hey is this steering wheel compatible to a audi tts 2017?
Best to check with the supplier... I'm not 100% sure.
Did you steering wheel come with those adapters inside the steering wheel I have a 2018 and dont have those adapters
Which adaptors?
@@frax77 the 3 airbag points inside the wheel
Hmmm, no, you should have them in the factory wheel and you'll need to transfer them. Check your oem wheel again, they should be there.
@@frax77 we upgraded from the 2016 preface to facelift style. So dont have these. I spoke with Audi and they didnt seem to have these as available parts
@@a1supercars that's weird mate, not sure I can help out much further 🙂. Let me know how you get on.
Hi i got the same steering wheel followed the step by connecting the wires but the lights dont come on for some reason does the airbag need to go in to get the connection? Because ive left the airbag out just incase i need to take it out again
The airbag should run off its own circuit so shouldnt be necessary. Have you paired the steering wheel with the control unit? I think you hold down both buttons. If that doesn't work maybe speak to the supplier. Good luck 👍
@@frax77 how do u pair it? Control unit meaning the box u get which plugs in the obd port?
Yes the bluetooth unit. I believe you hold down both buttons on the steering wheel.
@@frax77 brilliant! I managed to do it thank you . Does your led work with indicators? Because i was told they supposed to come on ?
Awesome!!
No, our indicator lights wont work on the steering wheel (also, our steering angle won't work) as these signals do not come through our OBD. I was a bit disappointed, but it is car specific so not much we can do about it.
@Frax have you ever seen a wheel installed and it just keep cycling any tips?
I assume you mean the screen keeps cycling through menus? I haven't seen that before but check the button and button wiring as a starting point.
The lights just keep cycling different colors like Knight Rider and the middle screen just flashes AMG back and forth
@@scarecrowsgermancargarage-6747 I'm afraid I'm going to run out of answers for this....it is starting to sound like a technical issue. I would recommend getting in touch with the supplier. Wish I could be of more help mate.
Where did you get the paddle shifters ?
From a company called DS Performance Parts, but I don't think they are in business any more. If you google Urus Paddle Shifters for RS3, there are plenty of options available.
I tapped into the airbag wiring for power like in the video and ended up needing a new wiring harness which set me back 600$+ apparently it’s very unsafe to take power from the airbag, viewers be ware!
Did you end up finding a different way for power source? Where would be the best place to get power from?
Im about to replace the steering wheel in mine as well, do you know the torque spec for the steering wheel bolt?
I don't mate sorry....I torqued it enough so it ain't coming off! 😆
Is the LED annoying at night?
No, not at all. Very similar light output to a head up display.
Where you based nate? Got the exact same steering wheel do you wanna fit it for me please? Hahaa
😄 I'm in one of the most isolated cities in the world 🌎 Perth, Western Australia 🇦🇺
@@frax77 oh you’re Australian? I thought you was British hahaha
LOL, I'm not that posh! 🤣
Mate what did you do with your blue wire? Do I my mine now and can’t find anything in regards to the blue wire
Doesn't get used. Just +ve and Grnd. 👌
