When replacing your BMW steering wheel with another one, make sure your new steering wheel is well-matched with the air bag in the existing one. FCP Euro can help with any questions to ensure it is. When going about putting the new one in, follow some easy instructions because the air bag system has does not tolerate static electricity or DC voltage and could go off without notice, being on a dangerous situation. The first thing you need to do is find the security code for your BMW’s radio, as it has to be disabled during the process. Disconnect the battery and let your BMW sit for at least 15 minutes before starting so your circuits can go to sleep and lose their charge. You are now ready to take out the screws from the back of the steering wheel where they go into the air bag, Usually, you will need Torx bits for this. Raise the air bag up carefully to take out the two yellow wires with a black stripe attached the bag. There will be two more wires for the horn.
