allright guys its the time now for a Steering wheel upgrade, anyways where is the wires or the conection for the horn wires in the Mtech1 steering wheel

[CorvallisBMW]

There are no wires, the horn works through the metal contact ring

Disconnect the battery for like 10 min to make sure all the power is out of it before you get pwned by a airbag. After that on the steering column right underneath there is a cover/cap just feel around for it and pop that out and unplug the plug thats on it. Once you have that settle feel around behind the steering wheel and you will find 2 hole close to the center of the wheels. Its a torx bit I believe a very small one(forgot the size) that will release the bag and then from there its straight forward.

Geez, I got railed for starting a steering wheel thread a week or so ago! Anyhow, yeah, it's a very simple swap, I definitely did a "doh!" when I saw how easy it was.

Cranking the wheel off that's been on since 1985, on the other hand, was quite the chore...

[eric (^__^)]

then buy one

how much does the m tech II wheel cost?
