    Question [Q] Pinout for steering wheel wiring/controls?

    Does anyone have a pinout for steering wheel wiring/controls inside of the actual wheel?

    What I am looking for is a power source anywhere from 5v to 12v. It can be accessory or constant, it doesn't really matter too much.
    As you can see in the picture there are 2 connectors, I'm not sure what one of the 2 connectors has a power source and I don't really want to prod around too much with the battery connected as I don't want to accidentally set off the airbag, hence why I am looking for a pinout or somone who knows what's what in there haha.

    The car is a 2002 E46 330ci

    Here is the image from inside of mine:


    Why do I want this? Well it will all be explain in a write up when I finish this little project.

    The wires change color at every connector
