Challenger Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel Swap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июн 2019
- Installing a Carbon fiber Steering wheel in a friends Challenger Hellcat, because I cannot afford to buy one myself ;). These Steering wheels run between $1200.00 - $1800.00 and higher depending on the leather and finishes. While this one is not perfect it looks great and the owner paid less than $800 for it so it was a good deal despite the order issues.
I won't be promoting the vendor that sold this one, but if you are looking for a Carbon fiber Steering wheel reach out to Randal or Jose at modfx and they will take care of you. modfx.shop/

Despite dozens of videos on Challenger steering wheel swaps, only Work Play Drive is thorough enough and detailed enough to include the part number for the one time use bolt. Everyone else I saw incorrectly reused the bolt. Great work, this channel regularly goes above and beyond!
Thank you ☺️
Found your video a few weeks ago while my custom steering wheel was being built. I received it last week and the install was easy because of your video. Thanks for all your helpful videos. It took me less than 5 mins to remove the airbag after that super easy install including new center bolt. Thanks again
Thank you 🙏 Glad to help
This was one of the best how to videos I've seen, good camera work, good audio, and very informative. I'm not even planning on taking off my wheel but I watched the entire video. Subscribed!
Thank you for the kind words 🙏
That wheel is absolutely amazing! Well done Mike great video. 🙌🏼
Thanks bro!
Super informative, well shot, and straight forward. Absolutely awesome! Thanks for the video, man
Thank you
I love that carbon fiber/B5 blue... Gorgeous mix.
It was a very pretty wheel overall. the stitching was beautiful against the leather.
Always great seeing your vids man. Love it, amazing tutorial.
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely beautiful B5 Hellcat! Love the carbon with the blue he has a nice and tasteful theme going! That's a bummer about the problems but you did an awesome job not bashing the company that's what I love about your channel, down to earth and amazing how to videos! Keep up the great work brother!
Thanks man, the company did a decent job and remember this wheel is half the price of most of the perfect ones on the market. for the price this wheel was great.
@@WorkPlayDrive Its crazy what some of them cost and being at half the price that's not a bad deal.
What I like about you. And you're not afraid to take anything apart and put it back together. Great video as usual I will not be putting a steering wheel on, LOL. But I just like watching your stuff. Informative always
Thank you. I definitely enjoy this
That's bad ass I have found 3 new things from your videos just today and I have watched many many Mopar videos thanks
Thank you 🙏
Just did this process last month on my scat to a hellcat wheel, didn't know about that bolt. thanks bro!
Anytime ;)
Me neither and I did the swap almost 2 years ago.
Did you change your air bag to the back lit SRT?
Spot on install video as always. It looks great, but man I sure do love my heated steering wheel in the winter. This would be a tough call because of that, even apart from the quality problems.
This one was an exception, I've seen quite a few Carbon steering wheels and they were absolutely amazing. The one I want sadly is over $1500 so it's going to be a while, but I'm considering matching demonic red leather with Satin black button overlays ;) I'll be dreaming about it for a few years tho...
Excellent video/install. That’s an awesome car too.
Thank you and I agree the car is a beauty.
Always remind them what could be. Great video
Thank you
I like the look of the carbon fiber steering wheel, but I don't want to lose my heated steering wheel.
Same here. I like that little luxury.
it's definitely a loss for some people who enjoy that feature. You have to weigh the options of course... I'm willing to give it up for my ream wheel, matching demonic red leather, carbon fiber with a anodized orange centering ring...
@@WorkPlayDrive hey did your friend get it from socal garage works?
Sorry he never shared the company with me.
They are some companies on Instagram that offer the heated steering wheel option now. Granted this video a year old so i assume things has changed since then when it comes to there custom steering wheels
Beautiful car, looks rad with all the carbon fiber additions. Steering wheel also very cool.
I agree he's been using some beautiful pieces from Anderson Composits on the exterior, especially the hood, I was admiring them for a while
This looks smooth
Awesome video, it was put together very well! I want a carbon fiber steering wheel for my 09 RT. I’ll have to do some research. You got my like and subscribe 👍🏻
Thank you!
Nice video, you made it look simple. A little off topic but do you know if the demon oem alcantara steering wheel has the heating element in it? Doesn't look like it but I can't find a definitive answer.
Just went through this disassembly and assembly of my new steering wheel similar to this one in the video. The spring is a bitch, but once you mess with it a few times, you kind of get how to deal with it. But the biggest hassle was trying to put the airbag back on. I found the reason was the wire and connections below were obstructing it. They need to be moved off to the sides. Once that was accomplished, no issues!
the airbag pop in is a pain. I just installed a wheel for myself and I needed to remove and reassemble all the wiring, buttons and paddle shifters. That was a lot of work.
Another great video !
Thank you
Great video. Love the car! Btw this steering wheel looks similar to the ones I found on the SC Garage Works website. I hope that's not the provider you got the wheel from because I wanted to get one from them sometime in the future.
Sorry not sure where his wheel was from.
Those custom blue gauges are sick. Mike, you should do an installation video on those.
They are a pain, I'll need to find a car, for the install ;) The red Gauges in my HC match the demonic red interior very well. Have you checked out the install video done by Honestly OCD?
@@WorkPlayDrive I have seen it & they do look like a PITA.
4:45 because we all know Dvir would have loved a B5 Blue airbag!
lol the mod no one wants to see.
@@WorkPlayDrive comes with B5 Blue powder
with lots of sparkle ;)
Hey Mike, another GREAT video! Where did you get the service manuals???
Originally with my 2015 Scat I was using the CD purchased from Tech Authority, but it only ran from the CD making it a pain to access when out at the car, but you own the CD for about $150.00. This time around the CD was not available so I subscribed to www.chiltondiy.com for $24 a year, I'll have access as long as I keep paying and I can read it from anywhere like my phone, PC, tablet, etc. the Chilton Version also includes electrical diagrams which the Tech Authority makes you buy separately.
Please!! 🙏🏼Let us know what brand of wheels you’re friend is running on his hellcat. I’m obsessed
Awesome video
Thank you!
I really want one. I've seen Dyna Performance makes a heated carbon fiber wheel. I think they just use the stock heated wheel and add the extra grips and carbon.
A lot of carbon wheel makers are now starting to offer heated. Most of them are made from the stock wheel core 👍
Nice install, great tip on the bolt. Sorry about the vendor. That sucks, and I bet it wasn't that cheap.
The owner worked it out with the vendor so he’s happy 👌
Look Awesome...
It's one of those mods I will do soon! Well as soon as I save up for it...
Did see the carbon fiber SRT steering wheel with led gear lights that change when u change gear ?? Good video brother as always 😋
Yes sir, looks cool in the video but I'm curious on what the install will be like and if these will ship on a regular basis.
@@WorkPlayDrive i agree with you, if u look up alibugami on instagram i believe he has one and he shows a video using it that on ur hellcat would be FIRE !!
Can I use the same steering wheel on my 2016 dodge charger sxt?
Hey Mike great video. Wanted to know you mentioned about the service manuals. Could you share where you picked yours up? I have a 2016 392 Scat Shaker and been wanting one to aid in my home maintenance and work on the vehicle. Keep up the great work!
For the 2018 I’m using www.chiltondiy.com/ it’s a $24 yearly subscription for 1 car, but I can access it from any PC or even my phone when working on the car. This Chilton manual includes the same factory tech info I had with the Tech Authority Manual and it includes wiring diagrams.
For my 2015 I bought the $150.00 Tech Authority CD and it had everything except the wiring diagram. Being that it was on a CD is also annoying because I needed a PC with CD rom to access the manual.
@@WorkPlayDrive Awesome! Thank you. I will look into both options. Much appreciated.
Can you send me a link for the wrap that was used on the front bumper please?
Where did you get the blue lights for the footwell? And nice steering wheel! Have you found out what brand does a better quality on the steering wheel?
I have one on order I’ll know more in about 8 weeks 😳. Sorry not sure on the blue lights I believe they are just LED strips.
Any suggestions on the airbag. I got he wires tucked pretty far back and I've really worked to get that bag on and for the life of me I can't. Even a little touch of a wood mallet is not working. I've taken the wire out and back in a few times. definitely a struggle...thanks
Just popping on how I showed sorry I was always able to pop them in with my fist.
Hey do you know where he go his carbon fiber dash from, great video by the way 👌🏽
Thank you, sorry he did not remember where he picked up the carbon fiber overlays.
Enjoy all your videos. Thank you! Question.. I noticed you have blue
Led lights inside. Any info about installation and where to purchase? Thanks!
I'll be doing a video on the LEDs shortly, they are a simple install once you know where to pop the lenses off. I'll go into detail on the bulb types as well and put up some recommendations. At this time I'm not sure what the owner has in there.
Work Play Drive thanks again!
ok second question, is it possible to add a heated steering wheel + seats? My (new to me)used scat pack doesn't have either and I'd really like both.
You would need to install additional harnesses and flash the uconnect to add the heated seat/wheel controls.
I believe there may also be a module for the vented seats.
Where can I get one
How do you remove the airbag? I don't see any holes on the sides of the aftermarket wheel that allow you to insert a screwdriver to auto release the airbag. Do you just forcefully remove the airbag?
If you have an aftermarket wheel you need to get instructions from the manufacturer. The stock steering wheel has the holes that allow you to release the springs.
hey man , i love the change after one video i was a subscriber , i was wondering if you could reach out to your friend and see where he got his illuminated srt steering badge from
The SRT batch is illuminated OEM from 2018 forward.
How was he able to get it colored is what I mean
I plan on buying a CF wheel but is the SRT center airbag/cover plug and play interchangeable across all models? I have a 19' scatpack.
You would need the change the entire airbag assembly as far as I know, and also keep in mind they started lighting the SRT logo around 2018 which is a different part number. .
Are your wheels stock size? I have a 2022 Challenger HC. The Toto Proxez look nice on yours.
I agree those Toyos look amazing on this car. This one is not my vehicle and I’m not really sure of the tire size, sorry.
Lol. Nice music... Oh and Car🤣
Thank you 🙏
Ok I stopped this video at 2:10; I’ve seen enough. This Cat is sick 👍🏾 I’ll resume later😂
Hey I’m at the point where I’m swapping my steering wheel on 2015 Scatpack and the bolt will not budge. I’m using a breaker bar with the 10 mm hex and the steering wheel just turns. Can I damage anything turn the wheel like that?
Are you holding the wheel while Turing ?
Homeboy really had me thinking this was a 6 speed with that Barton shifter 🙄🙄
Whats the part number to the bracket where the controls bolt on to?
Sorry, Which bracket are you referring to? What time do you see it in the video?
Nice
ive been looking to get the demon hood! where did you get yours at or who did you buy it through?
Anderson Composits makes 2 great demon style hoods.
Is that a aftermarket hood on that hellcat? How do I get one? I want to put a dual snorkel on my '16 Scat Pack, any tips would be awesome. These videos' are awesome, as a fellow NJ Challenger owner I'm stoked you take such care in posting such awesome content.
Thank you 🙏. His hood was from Anderson composites they make some insane stuff. Are you looking to get the new hellcat hood?
@@WorkPlayDrive I want the 2019 hellcat dual snorkel hood. That Anderson stuff is sick!
How in the f$# did you fit a 325? I've not heard of anybody running more than a 315
Where did you get the carbon fiber on the trim around cluster ?
I checked with the owner, he doesn't remember sorry. If I can dig it up I'll reply again.
yoooo, those seat belts sick!, whered you get them brother?
Seatbelt planet ruclips.net/video/IXYK8-kN2gk/видео.html
Great video as always.
My question is, why wouldn't he return the steering wheel if it wasn't exactly what he ordered?
I'm assuming it was at least $1200 if not more.
If I'm spending that kind of money, I'll want exactly what I ordered.
Thanks for the video, absolutely stunning car!
In speaking with the owner he struck an agreement with the maker to pay less for the wheel to where the owner felt the quality was good for the price he paid.
@@WorkPlayDrive Ahh, understood. Thanks for the reply.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to where to get a steering wheel
I'm working on ordering one this week. it's a few week wait but so far the what I am seeing from the company is awesome. The cost is also under $1000. The wheel does take a few weeks to make so I will keep you posted!!!
I had a shop install a carbon fiber steering wheel. works perfectly..however the service airbag system light comes on... you have any idea whats that about?
Possibly a loos cable or contact in the wheel mechanism. I would reach out to the shop and have them check it out.
@@WorkPlayDrive Yeah went to dealer. Stupid shop damaged the clockspring smfh
Ouch 🤕
What /you were able to find a service manual for the Challenger? ? ? I've been looking for one for over a year.
I’m using the online manual from www.chiltondiy.com/ I can view it from my phone and tablet when needed
Do you have a video on the install of the carbon fiber dashboard panel?
Nope it was a buddy’s car and he doesn’t remember where he picked those up from.
@@WorkPlayDrive thanks for your answer, I looked for them but I can't seem to find real carbon fiber ones
Hey idk if ull see this but my airbag light came on after the install do u know how to get rid of it?
It’s most likely because you didn’t connect and lock in the airbag connectors correctly.
Pop off the airbag again. Make sure the wires are not damaged. Reconnect them and ensure they are locked in place.
so what lights up the airbag is it the airbag that has a harness or is it the steering wheel
I'll cover that in a future video My steering wheels is being made right now and I have the light up SRT logo. I believe it's another plug on the airbag module.
@@WorkPlayDrive ok bro please do I have a charger widebody scat and I want the srt airbag and idk what actually makes it light up the bag or the wheel or both have to be together I'll be waiting for the video boss thank you
where did you get the carbon fiber interior kit? (not the wheel)
The dual snout hoods are nice if you go with an OEM setup it’s already ported right to the air box.
Watched your video 10 times before swapping my wheel. I can’t get the damn airbag back in. It’s driving me nuts. Help!!
I had an issue too when is just pushed on it. Make sure the wires are out of the way, line it up then give it a quick hammer with the bottom of your fist on each side where the springs are. . Similar to pounding on the horn when someone cuts you off 😆
That looks fuckin sick 😍
Tell me please it isn’t abaza carbon shop, as I consider to do my hellcat steering with them. 😅 and sorry bro can i ask why wouldn’t you reconnect the heated steering wheel , or did i miss on something?
nope, I will not buy from Abaza, I don't know the name of the company he bought from. I would hit up modfx before buying they have been ordering wheels for a while now and Jose is is pretty critical on his installs so they would be the best place to start. instagram.com/p/ByU9kOcgebM/
Forgot to mention, all of these carbon wheels do not come with the heating element installed so when you upgrade you loose the heated wheel.
Work Play Drive can’t thank you enough, but am happy for your friend at least he went half happy i guess with what he got. Peace out ✌🏻 and shame on the company who didn’t comply with customer order specification that he wanted from them. And i will check modfx
Where did he get the Blue Gauges from??
Sorry not sure 🤔
Where can I find those carbon fiber parts for the tail lights?
Sorry the owner does not know where he picked them up from.
What interior carbon fibre dash is that? or is it all wrapped?
It’s real carbon fiber but the owner doesn’t remember where he got it from.
You should be able to re-use the bolt, just put new loctite. or did i miss something?
Some thread lockers are single use and I do not have the compound used on this bolt. The Service manual says to discard the bolt every time you use it. it's only a $3 part so there is no need in trying to figure it out.
Hello will a SRT steering wheel fit on my 2015 challenger sxt?
Yes the SRT wheel will fit and work great. If you want the 2018 and up light up SRT logo you will need to figure out the wiring.
Work Play Drive thank you sir!
I don't know if it's the same on the Hellcats, but I find it strange that Chevy will offer you a Camaro with a heated steering wheel option, while giving you a vehicle that comes equipped with only summer tires.
It’s the same with the hellcat. Heated wheels will come standard. Summer tires are often an option or even a standard depending on location
Hi, i wanted to ask where you got that carbon interior trim, or it came from factory? thanks
I asked the owner, sadly he doesn't remember.
@@WorkPlayDrive thanks for a response, love your chanel👍
Were did the dash come from or is it a carbon fiber wrap
Sorry the owner does not remember. It was a really nice set of overlays.
Is the carbon fiber trim on the dash molded pieces? Or a trim kit? And where do I get it lol
It looked like molded pieces that were stuck on but really high quality not eBay. Sadly the guy didn't remember where he got them.
Work Play Drive damn, thanks for responding, been lookin for somethin like that for a min lol
Sorry I could end your search 😥
Does the original owner want to sell his factory steering wheel?
I don't think so, but if he is I'll be posting it in our group. facebook.com/groups/WorkPlayDrive/
Can you spec this sterring wheel to your own likings including heating
yes, most custom wheel companies will allow you to spec the color of the carbon, the center ring, the types of leather, stitching color, but none of the ones I have seen do heated steering wheels.
@@WorkPlayDrive i personally thing its a waste to not have heat. I live in houston and it barely gets cold here. But the last tume it did, i could barely hold the sterring wheel because i almost froze my fingers off and it was only in the low 40s to high 30s. So im probably weak on that aspect. But after that experience, i might need the heated steering wheel. Or just get the alkantera sterring wheel since they dont really hold in heat or cold
@@ll5352 my heater wasnt working in my car, the windshield was fogged and frozen up, and i uad to put the windows down while going 75 moh on the highway just to see while the rush of very cold air was coming in. We rarely experience temps that low
Where did he get that hood from?
Anderson Composits ;)
What brand are the carbon fiber dash parts?
Sorry, the owner does not remember where he got them
How much did it cost?! Can you share the link for the vendor plz?
As I said in the beginning of the video I do not want to share the vendor. If you want a proper carbon fiber wheel reach out to the guys at modfx modfx.shop/
This guy sounds just like a dude that does video's for J&H tackle. Think his name is Josh.
How big are your wheels/rims?
The wheels are 20” x 11”
@@WorkPlayDrive thanks
Gets as always
Thank you!
Does your friend want to sell his stock steering wheel?
No sorry, he's keeping it
Work Play Drive No worries. Thank you for the quick response. Huge fan. Keep the videos coming.
Factory Reproduction wheels?
yep
I wonder if its the same vendor I got mine from. Took over 2 months and the owner is a complete jackass. Didn't mind losing the heated steering, I'll either switch it out in the winter or just drive my beater with a heater.
I wear gloves ;) personally I was never a fan of the heated wheel always made my hands sweaty .
Dis poes mooi
The phone pole dont look to welcoming.
Abaza Carbon
no way bro... no way ;(
Was I right?
Definitely putting that bolt back in 😒
How come It’s $3 to replace 🤔
Too bad it does not meet your criteria and I think that's ok because we don't want subpar products 👍
It's a beautiful wheel, with some visual flaws, but none visible once installed. I would guage it as good for the price, the tough part was not getting what he ordered.
You should have mentioned the company you used so others can avoid him lol
I hate to bash any company, the issue he experienced with small and not worthy of ruining a company reputation, especially considering they were working it out.
Work Play Drive Yeah I understand, I’m just trying to find a legitimate company to buy that steering wheel from
I’m working with The guys at luxe to test out their supplier they’ve had amazing results with their BMW wheel so I’m going all in to get a wheel for my car. Sadly it’s about a month out but the price and quality are really good.
Not worth it if you have a heated steering wheel
That’s a lie. My bolt will not come loose to save my life.
Those lug nuts are hideous.
