I checked older threads but they are quite old and i was hoping to put on a 06-10 wheel, i really like how much smaller they are and how they look... but the ep3 looks good too.. idk if the 06-10 civic wheel would look good in my all black interior civic... plus how does it work, installing airbag? cruise control? and power steering? do you lose power steering?
Yup, you loose power steering. This will also drop your car by 3" and your engine will get 30 HP more for the loss of power steering.
Not sure about the others. Never did them, but the power steering do not have anything to do with stering wheel...
I dont get how it drops the car 3" adds 30 hp and gets rid of power steering.. its just a steering wheel right. is it even worth it to get rid of power steering for that gain? and how much do these wheels run for.
he was being facetious. I've been kinda looking into this, not really hardcore, though, because I like the look of the Fit's steering wheel, and J's racing's carbon fiber/suede fit wheel looks freakin seksi.
I want to figure out how to make the radio control buttons and cruise control buttons work, as well as finding out how to wire up the SRS to make that work properly.. I've just been too lazy/occupied with school to figure it out at the moment.

Anything before the 3 smileys are just a joke
The last sentence have the info i know (power steering - it's OK), the others, sorry, but i don't know.
haha i feel dumb i was like whaaat... so you do or dont lose power steering. i also want to replace my automatic shifter **** thing but i need to order it online i guess idk what to do with that.
You don't. There's no way it would happen as far as i know, being the reason i went to a sarcastic/comical way
Wait to see if somebody else have experience in doing that for the other details.
G'luck!
1. Take off the three philips-head screws at the bottom of plastic steering wheel column covers.
2. Open the hood and remove the ground connection on the battery. Set your clock for at least 4 minutes. This allows the residual electrical energy to dissipate that might trigger the airbag.
2. Take off the T30 torx bits on either side of the steering column that hold the air bag in.
3. Slowly take off the air bag, and unplug the yellow electrical connector.
4. Cut a roughly 3" tall by 2.5" hole (measurement not exact) on the left side of the steering wheel cover.
5. Screw in the radio volume control metal bracket (P/N 78517-S5A-N81) (#8 in picture below) on the left side of the steering wheel.
6. Screw in the audio remote switch assembly (what Honda calls it; P/N 35880-S9A-A01ZA Black color) (#2 from picture below) from the external side hole you just cut from step #4 onto the metal bracket you screwed in from step #5.
7. Looking at the inside of the steering wheel, cut the single brown wire and solder it to the red wire from the cruise control switch. Don't worry - the cruise control, horn, and audio remote switch assembly will work just fine by doing that. You're basically just connecting one 12V source to another.
8. If you got the cable reel sub wire (P/N 77901-S9A-A00) from the 2005-2006 Honda CRV from Honda or from the junk yard, cut the left side of it (green line). See illustration below:
9. Using the cut brown wire from step #7 above that GOES INTO THE CLOCK SPRING (i.e. NOT the brown wire that is connected to the red cruise control wire), connect that to the WHT wire from the audio remote switch assembly.
10. Solder another wire to one end of the YEL wire on the audio remote switch assembly that you cut in step #7 above.
11. Solder the OTHER end of the wire that is now connected to the YEL wire from step #10 above to the blank spot on the cable reel. The blank spot is in between the brown wire and white wire on the cable reel clock spring assembly. In the first post, it's represented by a green wire in picture #2.
12. You're now complete on the steering wheel side.
Steering Column Side:
1. On the steering column side, you should have two orange wires. Cut the orange wire from pin #2 from picture #1 in the original post. For orientation, the connector is facing you, and from your position in the driver's seat, the right most pin (pin #1) is empty.
2. Solder the orange wire that you cut from step #1 above to the other orange wire from pin #3. You should now have two orange wires going into a single pin #3.
3. Connect the other side of the orange wire that you cut in step #1 that is CONNECTED TO THE CLOCK SPRING to the ground wire of the Axxess steering wheel adapter.
4. Connect the other wire from the Axxess steering wheel adapter to pin #1 on the steering column side (the right most and empty pin on the steering column side). You may need a female connector of some sort to connect it to the empty pin #1.
Now put everything back, and make sure the wires don't interfere with the airbag being put back. Have fun!
The yellow wire on the audio remote switch is the ground, not the white wire on the switch. OP has it wrong.
Also, still having problems with the SWC-1 turning on. Is the yellow wire from the audio remote switch ALSO supposed to be connected to a ground somewhere?
