JCW Steering Wheel install question

My MCS is a July 07 build, and there are no "dimples" on the airbag housing for piercing/removal. I did notice a single hole dead center on the bottom and was wondering if this might be the airbag release for the newer R56. Anyone know? I'm trying to change to a JCW steering wheel. Thanks for any info.

I just installed my JCW wheel this weekend on my '06 MC. The dimples aren't on the airbag housing, but rather the back of the wheel itself, approximately at 10 & 2 - in fact, you can see them on your new JCW wheel. Look behind the left & right spokes. You're going to LOVE driving your car with the JCW wheel!! :D

If you push something into the hole in the bottom / middle it will release the airbag / horn mechanism. Then you can unbolt the wheel. Good Luck!
