Question about JCW steering wheel

Fatandre · #1 09-30-2009, 02:16 PM

I have this question. I have this normal steering wheel with steering for the radio and Cruise controle. Can I get that into the JCW steering wheel?

The controls will fit in the JCW wheel, no problem.

Just swap the controls and airbag from the stock wheel to the JCW wheel. I did this a few months ago and aside for forgetting to hook up the horn, it was easy. Hardest part was finding the springs to release the airbag from the wheel without seeing them.

Easily one of my favorite mods - that and my whalen shift knob

What year is your MINI? If its the old two spoke wheel you will need new buttons and a new airbag.

Two point wheel=2002, 2003, 2004-NO you need new button and wiring

Three point wheel=2004.5 2005, 2006-YES just swap like AltaJarid said.

Yes, But what if I want the Carbons? Do they come with holes?
I have the 3 spoke wheels

CF do not come with holes for buttons, but there is a How-To Carbon Fibre w/ MFSW thread here on NAM somewhere.
