My M Steering Wheel Install Tips...

[jbenskin]

I installed the M steering wheel today. The article made it very easy, with one exception. Make sure you leave the rear hatch open while you do the swap. I was not thinking and shut the rear hatch after I disconnected the battery. Once I was ready to hook the battery up again, I found that I could not open the hatch do to the lack electrical power! I had to put the rear seats down, remove the cargo cover as well as the cargo floor to get to the battery. It only caused a 10 minute delay but it was a royal pain in the a$$.

Also, make sure you have a #15 torx SCREWDRIVER as the torx bits for a socket set are too wide to get into several screw holes.

I've had my X for two weeks and have 20% tint and the M steering wheel done already. Next on the list: icelink, 87's or 132's, running boards, and then the aero kit.

I learned that lesson while hardwiring my Sirius unit. Luckily my seats were already down and the cargo mat was taken out. But it was still a p.i.t.a. climbing through the back seats to reconnect the battery. Don't forget to post pics of your steering wheel
