Got a new HSV Steering wheel for ym VE SS

[dingdong555]

Hey guys.

I got a new genuine VE HSV steering wheel for my SS, now, I'm a little worried about installing it because of the airbag, I'd hate for it to go off. Is there a way to do it to guarantee it won't go off?

Also, is anyone in Perth who has done it before able to help me? (For $$ ofcourse).

I don't think there's a guarantee, I know people who've disconnected the battery and taken out the fuse have had it still go off. If your doing it yourself (I don't advise it), be extremely cautious.

 

[dingdong555]

Yeah, any places you do advise of doing it?

Just disconnect the battery or pull the fuse. Won't go off without power. There's a how-to on installing a new steering wheel somewhere on this site. Should come up with a search.

Yeah, I've seen that, feel really confident apart from the airbag, heard it's not cheap to reprogram it aswell if it goes off.

Im also looking for a new gts or simular wheel....i wonder what a holden dealer would charge to fit it.
they would have it done in less than half hour i would imagine.

They probably would - doesnt mean thats all they will charge you for though

And yes I learnt the hard way

It needs to be replaced if it goes off, thats the expensive part.

Yeah, my car is due for a service in 2 weeks, I'll ring up and see if they can replace it and how much they'll charge.

I just bought one for my Calais and rang the local dealer hear in Sydney to inquire about fitting. I was quoted $60 which sounds like good value. I have heard of other dealers charging anywhere between $40 and $120, so ring around.
