Need more help on 4 spoke steering wheel removal
 

Okay so I got my 3 spoke sport wheel and airbag today installed it without any problem using this wonderful board as my DIY source. Is there a way to resett the airbag light. My E53 is 2003 so I assume that sports steering wheel retrofits should be plug and play as it also has a 2 stage airbag system.

I did the same install on my '04 just last weekend. No error on mine.
Will starting and shutting off the engine five to six times work ? Had the same issue when I had my E46, it went away by itself when I did that.

Thaks 04x5dude. I'll try that out and if that doesn't work, I'll take it to the dealer.

Did u get the light to reset? My light is on right now after my paddleshift retrofit last month

I think you can try starting the car, then turning the steering wheel all the way to the right then all the way to the left. I know that reset warning lights for me....

mine did same thing

I just got my X back from the dealer. I told my SA that I had to check the horn connection at the back of the airbag and so I needed to disconnect the bag and the airbag light went on (that was the best BS I could give at that time). The technician looked at it and said that there was a stage1 and stage 2 error in the code reader. In simple terms, the plugs of the airbag weren't pushed all the way in (I guess I was intimidated by the warning sign at the back that says....explosion warning!!! that I didn't plug it all the way in) So the service Tech took out the airbag, pushed the plugs properly and reset the airbag light. Good thing SA was a friend of mine and didn't charge me for anything (That should have been $130). Anyway, now I know better.

I think the reset tool from Peake is a good investments if you plan to do DIY stuff ($129)

george, can you pls post pics of your new steering wheel?;)

George, who is your SA at Fairfax? my SA is Je.. Vi... he takes care both of my cars, the X5 and 530i. I feel he is OK. Do you recommend somebody else?

here's the pic of the wheel with the badge of AC Schnitzer. Please give me your opinion on whether the roundel is better or the AC wannabee
