    e46 Triangle Airbag Steering Wheel on e53

    I tried and everything connects and bolts together ok but the airbag light comes on;
    Ignition Circuit ZK12 / Airbag Driver Stage 2
    Resistance too large

    I concluded that the early e46 wheel must be a stage 1 airbag, and my 06 e53 is a stage 2. The e46 airbag has one 2 wire connector going to the bag. My e53 H style wheel has 2 connectors going into the bag, but comes together into a single connector that plugs into the clock spring.

    Looks good, but FYI in case you planned on doing the same!
    Also, all of the radio controls worked as designed. Didnt check the cruise but I'm sure it would work no prob.
