Airbags
« on: June 12, 2014, 04:36:51 PM »
Hi.
 Is it possible to use a steering wheel and airbag from another make and model, or would the airbag be a problem. Not sure if different cars have a different voltage for their airbags or are they all the same
Thanks
Mick

Hi mick I used the Alfa st wheel and it looked like  the air bag would connect straight up to the pug wiring ,but when I decided to do the dash it made the passenger air bag un useable so I disconnected them  on mine ,cheers jd

Hi JD
 Thanks for the reply. Did the steering wheel fit directly or did you have to use some sort if adapter. Also what model of alfa was it from. I was looking a the Mazda RX8 one
Thanks
Mick
