Title: Aftermarket Steering Wheel
kinggts25 - September 23, 2009 08:39 AM (GMT)
Hey guys, just wondering if all my other air bags will work if i use an aftermarket non air bag wheel? or if there is a 'air bag defnder' type unit to prevent the light etc being on?

Probably not.
Anyway, you won't be able to get a WOF (if you're in NZ) if you remove any factory fitted safety devices, airbag steering wheel included.

Sorry Bud.But i think you'll find you can't replace your airbag steering wheel with anything aftermarket.has something to do with frontal impact in a crash.Plus you're down grading one of the cars safety features.
I maybe wrong,but other members may no more.

TRD does an Altezza Steering Wheel :D

Jeremy's right. Legally you can't get a WOF. Even if you do get a dodge one it'll invalidate your insurance (if you have any).
See page 23.

Not really too concerned about everything mentioned - car is going for LVV once the V-mount is completed and it has a tune, just wondering if the passenger airbag will still work with the airbag light on OR if there is a defender that tricks it in to thinking the steering airbag is still in location? thx~!
