Help!! Steering Wheel Swap!! I just put the steering wheel from the Si/SiR on my Si/EX coupe and I have a question for the masses....
Ok first of all, the wheel does fit nicely and the airbag does work and the ground is good...but....
The cruise clip isn't the same as the OEM. So what I have are the same wires with different connectors. I tried to splice in the connector from my OEM wheel but that doesn't seem to have helped. While I was able to hook it all up the cruise still won't work. Is this even possible to do or should I cut bait and try to wire in the OEM cruise back into the car in another location...
help is much appreciated...
Cheers!

Rep Power: 374 I would try and get ahold of the SI/SiR wheel. The acura one would be worth it, it woulkd look off unless however your were to grab the Honda Integra wheel but youll loose cruise control and some permanent wires need to be cut

Rep Power: 291 You have to use your OEM Cruise control and relocate it on the column. Rewire it from the column, I am planning on doing it and DIY it once my buddy from Honda gets the wiring schematics.
if you want the wheel and air bag for cheap...try lookin at www.car-part.com Ive seen wheel and bag for as low as i think $100 before. The problem with getting the RSX wheel is that you have a honda, and you would have an Acura emblem on your wheel. I mean, if you are into that sort of thing, more power to you, but thats just not me. Is there a way to put a honda emblem on the RSX wheel? Maybe take that cover part off of a Si wheel, and put it on the RSX wheel...i dont know, i havnt really looked closely at a wheel before.
