nice work!
what will the buttons be used for?

[robb1887]

Radio controls... I have a complete system in the car, and the only thing that I dont have besides satellite radio is SW controls... so Im remedying the issue. I know some people are going to think Im nuts for cutting up a euro wheel but I think it came out fantastic.

[acolella76]

I love it. Kinda looks a little uneven with the buttons on one side and nothing on the other, but maybe thats just me.

[robb1887]

yea... but the other side is cruise controls, which wont work since I have the stalk on the column. And the slip ring I have wont take the extra wire through it as far as I have found.

wow that looks really well done, can't wait to see it in the car

[Tatalalicious]

JB weld has never let me down so I'm sure that will hold up! Also can't wait to see it mounted!

[MorningWood]

I think that is rad as hell! The only thing that I find a bit awkward is how the airbag and the wheel don't match shades. That would bother me.

Nice job, looks great.

[EThirtySicks]

VERY cool project, I like that a lot.

[robb1887]

Wheel is mounted... but Im stumped at the controls at the moment... back to the drawing board (aka more researching time!). Ugh.. Ill post pictures of it mounted later.

Any steering wheel guru's out there?

Great job! Why didn't u just use the e46 wheel instead of hacking up this one?

[acssilhoutte]

It doesn't make any sense. The power in should be 12 volts into the buttons and the power out should be different for each button and thats what the SWI-JAC reads and then sends to my Alpine head unit...

Sweet wheel. Good luck with the buttons. I also have never heard of any success. I don't know why either it seems cut and dry but it ends up never working.

[robb1887]

worse comes to worse, Im taking the buttons apart and re-wiring it myself with resistors.
