Steering wheel swap

[bongodave]

As much as I love my old V70r '98, I've swapped the gear knob and gaiters as they were showing the age far more than rest of car.

I was wondering if the later V70 steering wheels fitted. The main issue being airbag connectors as not fussed about H,U controls.

Anyone got any ideas?

I've seen one fitted but I dont know how easy it is.

Cheers for that. Looks pretty good!

This is the wheel I was thinking as cheap n cheerful. Guess it depends on the airbag connecting up without codes.

The P2 airbag connections are doubled - up. One low-speed and one high-speed.

Use the orange high-speed connection and ignore the other when fitting it to the P1 and you'll be fine.

The stereo controls aren't that hard to sort if you go for an aftermarket HU.

Top man! Thanks for that. V.useful.

Will get the wheel then as only £35.

As said pal they do work. He who must not be named has one fitted to his laser blue v70r off an s60 which is what I plan to do when I rip out my cream interior.

I do know V70graham does have a thing for the wooden steering wheels.

Just stick a 2 ohm resistor in it and don't crash.

Ones a 30% fill the other 70% fill, connect up the 70% and job done not airbag light but less fill in an accident.

I fitted a couple to 850s in the past.
