hi all , i have a 1999 2.8 v6 tiptronic and i was wondering if a 4.2 s6 tiptronic steering wheel with the tiptronic buttons will fit onto my car and work. i have no buttons on my wheel at the moment . will the wiring be behind the wheel to connect to??? not too good with electrics so need advice before i buy. Thanks very much

 

only way to find out is check the wiring, lots of same brand cars use one loom so you tend to get lots of loose ends that are unused

 

hi dave thanks, will it harmmy air bag if i take it off to find out if i dont disconnect it. ? dont want do no damage!!

 

remove the ground wire from the battery this cuts out any chance the airbag will go off which I doubt any way ( check if you have the code for your audio ), once completed just hook the ground back up and this will reset the air bags
