What's up guys. I was able to get my hands on a 2014 Civic Si steering wheel with the airbag. I have a 99 civic 4dr. Now I've heard that the swap is possible and according to a link, for 06-10 civic steering wheels, it says you have to remove the clock spring in order for it to fit compared to the rsx, EP3 (and AP's I think) which you can put in without hitting the clock spring. I would assume that the steering wheels haven't changed much over a few years... sooo I tried it today.
Problems I ran into and questions I have about the installation, cuz I haven't seen a DIY for installing that steering wheel, and I'm trying not to mess up anything important.
When I installed the steering wheel, the clock spring was definitely in the way, that's a simple removal of 3 screws and two connectors, but what is that white plastic piece behind the clock spring for, and can I remove it? or should I just leave it. It pushes in and out like a spring is in it and it looks like it latches on to the oem steering wheel once everything else is in place
With the clock spring off, I am aware that the air bag will not work, that's fine. Is there a way to bypass the SRS light when it's completely disconnected? Will that 2.2 Ohms resistor trick work? Is there a way to make the horn and cruise control work still? The steering wheel has all the options.
I noticed that the oem wheel has a large shaft on the back, and the new one doesn't have it. I might get another oem one, cut it and weld it to the new wheel so it fits right with no mods LOL.
All help is greatly appreciated
