I am not a mechanic first of all, so i am sorry if this is a stupid question... :redspot
But i bought a new steering wheel for my E39 from Ebay. And got help from a motorshop to install it to my car. But they told me that they would not be able to get the airbag connected since it did not have the same amount of connectors.
What i had before was this. https://i.ibb.co/Jn5LkM8/old-steeringwheel.jpg
So now my SRS light is showing up on dashboard. And i was off to doing an inspection on my car pretty soon. Though the shop did not have any times available i thought i could fool the car with an resistance and clear my emission/inspection. And then try selling the new steering wheel to buy another "correct" one instead and get installed.
I have watched a few videos on Youtube by now. And i wonder is it a 2.2Ohm resistance i need for this particular car "BMW E39 540i 1997". And how many do i need for this car model. And could i just buy and use a tool like this to reset the SRS light after i got help install the resistance. https://www.google.com/search?q=unicarscan&client=firefox-b-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiBmY_Zkqr3AhWTyIsKHRRUBCgQ_AUoAXoECAEQA w&biw=1920&bih=927
This is what i bought, by the way:
