Steering wheel swap
Hello I have a quick question about a steering wheel swap. I have a 04 3.0i 4 spoke multifunction wheel and was wondering if i can swap a 4.8is 3 spoke sport wheel?
Is this just plug and play?
Sorry for the question but i could not find any threads on this particular steering wheel swap.
any info would be great thanks guys
Gio

Yes mechanically it's take old wheel off and replace with new.

I assume harness plugs for button controls are the same as well.

Be sure to disconnect the battery or you'll get the airbag error.

Absolutely.
So I don't need any parts for this all I have to do is just unplug mine and plug in the new wheel?

You shouldn't need anything, just make sure you don't damage the clock spring.

I'd probably remove that silly sticker off Mike's wheel as well lol.
