Re: Euro Wheel

Several people can get one for you, none can guarantee the airbag will work.

Plus, unless somebody figures out the wiring, you lose function of the buttons on the wheel. Expect to pay about $1200 for the wheel and airbag.

Highly unlikely a dealer WILL install. There are some significant potential...

If the airbag controller doesn't bitch, it is highly likely the airbag works fine.

Shipping steering wheels with airbags require special precautions and handling. Otherwise the wheel

is sent w/o the bag, and the buyer has to try an adapt the current unit into the new wheel. Ticklish to say the least.

I ordered a steering wheel from Europe for my Alfa. I got the wheel, but it was all but destroyed when customs took it out the wrapping and blew up the bag, then forwarded the wheel to me.
