… I still have a few questions:





If I change the wheels properly (i.e. disconnect the battery and such), will the airbag warning light stay off for good? Or do I need some adaptor/resistor to trick the system into thinking the airbag is still there?



Will the passenger airbag continue to work?



Do I need any parts besides the wheel and the hub adapter?



Is this completely reversible, i.e. will the airbag on the OEM wheel work again should I decide to revert to the original?



And lastly: Is this legal for road use?

Hi, I fitted an original CS wheel last week and I guess the process is the same for an aftermarkey one. Have a look here post 1007 http://www.968forums.com/topic/7163-what...__st__1000 you could also search for "steering wheel" which will bring up some more info. Yes, it's reversible. Legal, I would think so as so many others have done it.

Besides the Momo hub adapter you will need the 928 horn contact, IIRC for the part number or search here. If you can't find it I can post it for you. Passenger AB will still work but you need the 3 Ohm resistor installed in the drivers side connector.

Legal? What Flash said....

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your feedback!



So yes, I searched the forum before I posted, and found some postings, but the information was too scattered for me – things like the horn adapter were mentioned in some threads and then not in others, so I thought I make sure.



The one thing that I am still not clear about is the 3ohm resistor as the airbag replacement – is this a part that I can buy, or do I have to make that myself? In the latter case, what connector is needed? I only want to take the wheel apart once …



As far as the legality is concerned, I a quite surprised that it I illegal, and yet so many people are doing it. Possible injuries are one thing, but wouldn’t you lose insurance coverage as well if you got hurt?

You can just buy the resistor from an electronics supplier. I found that the leads fit directly into the female connector so I pushed them in and secured with a tie wrap.

The resistor goes into the orange female connector where the airbag lead has been disconnected. This can be done just below the dash with a bit of fiddling about. The 928 horn connector (928 652 10400) just slots straight in (see post 7 on this thread for a great photo http://www.968forums.com/topic/12106-cut...msearch__1 )

Hope this helps

It is a great photo and helped me change my wheel.

Guess I should have checked the author when reposting

That is a sharp-looking wheel.
