tsk tsk tsk what a nasty stereotype there...

My car would fail inspection here in VA. New law states that any red dash light that comes on when the car is turned on must go out within a few seconds to pass. So having the red air bag light on all the time would mean my car would fail inspect. Im sure I could figure out how to wire a resistor in line to the ECU so that the air bag light does go off after like 2 seconds but....Just make sure its not going to fail your inspection with a red light constantly on.

you could always take the gauge cluster apart as of the DIY instructions and just remove the LED

Only thing is...they get in turn it on make sure all the lights light up then watch as they go out. Any light that doesnt come on is a fail.

you'll need a hub adaptor for your specific car...6 allen screws...and an allen wrench...when i install mine, i disconnect the airbag unit...and the battery to make sure it wont trigger the srs airbag....and after installation i test drive it to make sure it drives straight...otherwise the steering wheel placement needs adjusting..

Doesn't sound too hard!

Thanks!

I find it funny you'll install a steering wheel but not clear your M\R light. To each his own I guess.

AlanSRT4 · 03-12-2007, 11:09 AM

You just need to put a proper resistor in line and that will keep the light from coming on.

What if I change it with another Toyota Steering Wheel?

Are they all the same? can I take one off the Tundra or the MRS?

Or will only certain Steering Wheels fit on Certain cars?

That will solve the whole AirBag issue right?

I'll find out at work tomorrow- I've actually been thinking of the same thing- I just want one that comes out further from the column, seeing that the Yaris doesn't have tilt/telescope, and that would make a HUGE difference in comfort for me. As of right now, my knees are up around my damn shoulders to keep a good position on the wheel (I have really long legs). I look like a friggin' circus elephant riding a tricycle.

That's quite an interesting question...

I know there's a TRD steering wheel which can be put on our car, and has an airbag, but as wheels from other cars, no idea.

Got a link?

That wheel is SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would almost pay 700 to retain my airbag....ok not really but....it is still sick.

mrrock · 03-13-2007, 03:29 PM

I also think the Scion T/c optional wheel will fit. you just use your exiting air bag section
