Anyone know if i need the facelift airbag.? I know the wheel is pretty much the same and i am considering buying one but i don't need the airbag and would like to use my pre facelift airbag. And are the cruise and radio buttons plug and play.??

Anyone on here know.??
 
The only difference i can see Neal is that the facelift has voice activated controls so somthing to bear in mind.
 
cheers brett. I will obviously remove the HFT buttons. I just dont know if the pre face airbag will fit straight on the facelift wheel. It looks like it will. I don't know if the function butons will be plug and play either due to the facelift having illuminated buttons. Hopefully it is all just plug and play. I cant see honda changing the wiring for a tiny facelift.
 
Neal the only thing i can find is this.It might help a bit.If this haven't been done then you will be the 1st ;)

Thanks mate, It looks like if there is any potential issue it will be the buttons. But i can just use the buttons from my Preface wheel if necessary. But then again it may be a straight swap. Only one way to find out i guess. :D

Yep i cant wait to see if it works now :lol:
 
Thought i had better update this thread. you dont need the facelift airbag and it is pretty straight forward. here is what it looks like.

Cool, glad it worked out, very useful to know. Do the buttons illuminate?

I used the buttons from my old wheel. I could have used the facelift buttons but there is no pre wiring for the illumination so there would have been a bit of wiring to do to get them working. and they illuminate green and my car has orange illumination. frankly my OCD wouldn't be able to cope with that.
