Default RSX Steering Wheel

I've got an RSX Type-S steering wheel on the way, and need info on how to wire it onto my '97 EK. If anyone can help me out with the wiring that'd be awesome!

Thanks!

The cruise control and horn plug straight in. The airbag, however will not work. It utilizes a dual-stage (two explosives) airbag, and the 96-00 Civics use a single-stage (one explosive) airbag. There was a writeup on here at somepoint about how to wire it to act as a single-stage and blow both explosives at once, but it was never tested.

Hmm... I know a few people who have installed them with working airbags...

Anyone else have any thoughts?

The working airbags are either rigged (like the one I was talking about), or are from JDM/EDM cars, where they use a single-stage airbag ... such as the EP3 Civic Type R and the DC5 Integra Type R.

Seems like many people miss out on checking "Archived Content" and give up after a short search ..

An RSX is a DC5, but yes, the DC5 ITR airbag does fit the RSX wheel ...
