bodilx6 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I've tried searching but no luck. How do I disable the airbag in the wheel? I'm about to change the ugly stock supra wheel with a Rav4 wheel (looks very much like the TRD, and got it cheap from a salvage yard), but that is without airbag. I can either purhcase and expensive airbag or just get a cover without airbag. If so, how would I disable the airbag light in the dash that I'm expectling to light up?

JustGav Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Safety or style i know what id choose........a RAV4 wheel is so not worthy! I was under the impression that an airbag system over 10 year old needs to replaced anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I was under the impression that an airbag system over 10 year old needs to replaced anyway. Sounds feasible to me, id still rather have the off chance of it going off, than a print of a RAV4 steering wheel on my forehead Hehe.

SilverSoop Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Safety or style i know what id choose........a RAV4 wheel is so not worthy! That's why i left mine as it is...oh and that fact that my stock steering wheel has Carbon Fibre as standard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 That's why i left mine as it is...oh and that fact that my stock steering wheel has Carbon Fibre as standard... Does it have an airbag then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Does it have an airbag then? Yeh it does indeed... Its got carbon fibre around at top and bottom of the steering wheel and also around the sides... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Any other ideas except for removing the bulp? Or is that just the easiest? I thought something about a resistance placed where the airbag plugs in. Safety or style i know what id choose........a RAV4 wheel is so not worthy! I havent decided what to do yet. there is something like 160£ in difference. Also designt depends of the year.

JustGav Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Take out the airbag ECU and both airbag systems, ie the glovebox one as well as the steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Taking the bulb out is a 5 second job so it is the easiest. It is not required for anything else other than to display a fault. So if airbag is not there then there is always going to be a fault, so remove the bulb. Then if you put the airbag back on at any time then it is any easy job to replace the bulb. Or but not sure the Airbag ECU ~(not 100% sure) The picture looks very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If I don't sell this airbag + 3-spoke wheel + airbag Supra adapter harness, I'll sell you the airbag & adapter for £90.. should fit your wheel. I have an interested party in the whole setup though, but I haven't managed to get photos to him yet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you got the nice one. Take a look at my old one. I got the one that fell of a Toyota truck from the 80'ies: http://onh93a.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p7iLpDxy1FstV33rMJS0ZWqmqPocR1vkTquF3ec_xk7A0RjQlKBDQdzbSDysnrZyztZRdWqW7xVo/inde.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
