Hi,
This is a video demonstrating a Civic 8 steering wheel on Accord 2004 i-ctdi. All the buttons on the wheel are working (premium audio and cruise control). The buttons on the wheel, which currently haven't any functionality are going to have such soon Probably switching the frond and rear view cameras and several other features I'm gonna to implement in this Accord.
Mapping the buttons wasn't big problem. Swapping the airbag was a bit of a challenge. The pre-facelift Accord is with single stage detonator and the Civic is with double stage one. There are two ways to do it - wire up the stronger stage of the detonator, and (as I did) swap the detonators. I got the detonator from the Accord airbag and put it on the Civic's bag. So no ECU errors and so. Probably there are some safety issues, but I think it would be OK (I hope not to happens) if the bag need to be infiltrated.
There is one more big issue - the Civic wheel goes deeper on the steering column and started to run in the plastic behind the wheel. The solution was to make stop marks on the wheel's splines. Thats a bit tricky!!!
I have some pictures of the process, and I will make some step-by-step for DIY soon.
So, here it is - the video
