so i just got my dc2 srs wheel in the mail today. put it on my eg. fits great. tighten down the wheel. unplug my battery and all to reset the airbag stuff. go to plug in my airbag and the plugs dont match up? anybody know what i am supposed to do?

i dont have the stock airbag anymore either

 

ok, i know somebody out there put an damn jdm itr wheel on there eg. and i know i am not the only one to put a damn srs wheel on my hatch like this. what did everybody else experience when it came down to hooking up the airbag? please help me. i amd going to be pissed off if i paid out the *** for this wheel cuz it has an air bag and i cant even have the damn airbags.

 

theres only 2 things i beleive u can do. either find another stock srs wheel for your car and cut the plug off and wire it on to the new wheel, or u can cut both plugs off your car and the wheel and hard wire the wires together with male and female spade connectors liek stero shops do.. if anyone else has a better idea pleas post this becaus eim doing the same thing soon and i would liek to now what is better than that.

 

why don't you leave it unhooked so the airbag doesn't go off and ruin the nice steering wheel?

i'd rather just wear my seatbelt and not get smashed in the face by a bag of stale, powdery air.

airbags seem to do more harm than good so far, with my friends anyway.

thats an ignorant thing to say.

i would hard wire it up if you had to, just by pass the plug, and just use the type of wire connectors like this


that way you can still disconnect the wires if need be. Get that airbag working, you never know when you will need it.

i don't think so....

my friends ran over some guy on the highway at 60mph, the airbag fucked up their faces. seatbelts would have held them.

another friend hit a pothole and the airbags went off. burnt his face and broke a window. for nothing.

other friend hit a guard rail, airbags went off. again, don't see it being helpful.

i hit a tree at 45mph. no airbags. not a scratch on me.

i guess it depends on the accident.

i personally dont like airbags. so i choose to disconnect them.

funny thing is, the first and third i wrote about, happened the SAME DAY! (different people)

and it wasnt our fault ANY time.

the guy ran out onto the highway, got hit, died.
the pothole isnt supposed to make airbags go off.
a guy swerved into my friends lane. my friend tried to swerve away, but lost it because of the bald back tires and hit the guard rail.

me, i'm an ***, i was in my 86 turbo chrylser and i went around a blind corner right into a tree.

didn't know it was a turn.

my fault but its cool.

 

didnt that happen like right after you bought it? or brought it back from getting it registered, something clicked when you said that story

yes. from a jdm 99 itr.

and if i was planning on leaving the bag hooked up, why the hell would i spend all that money to buy an srs wheel? i dont want to hard wire anything. i might just sell it and put my other non srs aftermarket wheel back on. or buy a sparco or something sporty.

 

Not really answering your question but I think the reason why the plugs don't hook up is because of OBD2 and OBD1. The plugs for 96 and up honda/acura use a different plug.
Can some one second that?

 

its a good point, but dont wory about it. i already sold the wheel on ebay for $525. thanks though
