The air bag module in the Mode steering wheel has a different plug/socket to the older grey wheel.

The newer wheels are only 3 spoke and different again inside

Adam, any idea if a newer wheel will physically fit? Can air bag connectors be swapped?

Vaxxi sounds like that stuff is ideal. Worth a try if I go that route.

:laugh: @ GuardianAngel!!

If I remember correctly, someone on here did swap his old steering wheel for the newer one. I think it was a bolt on job, and he managed to connect the wires too(maybe he cut the connector off and soldered the old one on it?).

You can get the leather wheel from a Mode and just use your original airbag (the connectors on the Mode airbag are different) - that's what I did.

Failing that, I still have the original wheel, so if you're desperate for an original wheel that hasn't started to fall apart drop me a PM
