Best video on steering wheel installation ever. I was thinking about making one because every Damn one on the internet they runthe wire strait threw...popping off the contact plate and shit... Except this one...finally someone making a vid with a bracket horn contact kit type install. Ill make mine for an mx5.
DUDE!!! This was THE MOST HELPFUL and PROFESSIONALLY orchestrated video and job I've seen on here on how do do this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm gonna give the horn bracket thing a try also. You made it look SO possible. Keep up the good vids.
HKB bosskit for IS300 will allow the oem plugs to plug in. Then just use a retaining ring make sure Nardi horn button. Buy the parts brand new only, from HKB etc, so you don't miss any accessories.
Awesome vid dude, you made everything so clear and easy to follow. Definitely gonna be doing this to mine in the future. That cinematic edit was sick too!
Thanks, I'm really happy you checked out the video, I thought I heard you say you installed coilovers on yours, ? , coilovers are going to be my next video. So I wanted to see what you got. 🤙
@@Donnythelatemodeltech I got the BC Racing BR series (non extreme low) with upgraded swift springs 16k front/14k rear. Upgraded the springs because I wanted something slightly stiffer since I do plan to do light autocross with my car in the future. With the damping on max soft the car feels nice to daily, I'd say slightly stiffer than stock. I cranked the damping to max hard and it was definitely a different ride, car feels tighter and stiff, kinda bouncy due to the crappy roads where I live. I'd say the BC's are a good bang for your buck, they are rebuildable too. What coilovers were you planning on getting?
Note he went with a deep dish wheel. There are 50mm and 75mm aftermarket spacers available to get ergonomics back to "driver" mode for any wheel - especially those that have shallow or zero dish. You might not care about a difference around town, but cross country is another story.
Did this and my horn won’t stop honking since it’s always touching metal on the short hub. Even if it worked with the steering wheel horn interrupting the circuit when you take it off the quick release it will still be honking because the horn wire is touching metal. Any suggestions?
Great vid, about to change out steering wheels on my rig. Does the factory trim leave an exposed spot on the bottom right hand side, looks like it in the video.
I looked everywhere for a video that explained all steps and finally found it. The only bad thing is I've never done anything to my car on my own and I haven't found no one willing to connect horn for me.
Really nice video.................How does a person find out what size resistor.....I have a 2006 Suzuki Forenza that I need to do the airbag bypass.....hope you can help !!!
I put one on my civic eg and my horn button won’t fit in so I’m guessing I’ll have to buy a spacer or a quick disconnect since both should eliminate the problem
Followed instructions and now when I make turns my traction control light will come on. Do you know what this means?? I've read that maybe the steering angle sensor needs to be recalibrated.. please help thanks!
My airbag light was off at first then came on shortly after on the first drive. I opened it up and everything is still intact and in place. What would cause this? Do I need a higher ohm resistor?
Thanks for the vid. I have been trying to figure out the horn situation on my FJC. Thanks to your vid I can now put back the horn. Driving with no horn sucks.
I believe the IS300 specs also work for early Tacomas? [95-97]. Thank you for posting. As I understand airbag evolution, The designs begun in the 80's were over the top: a little too much volume and rate of inflation was really fast to compensate-airbag injuries did occur. 90's improved somewhat, but inflation rate still a little too much. Near '98, supplementary bags [side curtain] were in the works but not widely available - further reductions of inflation rate began. As I see it, any pre-98 vehicle is a good candidate for an aftermarket wheel, the number one reason being... get your driver ergonomics back! Horizontal distance from pedals to steering wheel in airbag cars is too short: they did it not to accomodate 4' 1" drivers, but to make leg position uncomfortable enough that you would put the seat rearward, which added room between driver and bag. The cockpit geometry itself is proof that manufactureres knew airbags were causing injuries, and extra space would reduce liabilities. OEM's aren't bad guys for doing this, but rather their engineers had to find a workaround to imbeciles in congress trying to design cars. Remember... prior to airbags cushioning stats, CAFE standards initially caused about 5,000 extra motorist deaths each year. Your dealer called this removal of steel mass a "crumple zone" - some worked, some were just underbuilt cars.
So I tried doing the 2 ohm resistor on my 1998 GS 300 And the airbag light is still on does it make a difference if I leave the clock spring in and I do it on the other side where it plugs into the back of the bag? I’m putting a newer style steering wheel on it and I want to leave the clock spring so I can run cruise control and horn and possibly wire up volume controls
You may need another type of clock spring to get the additional wires through to have steering wheel control. Fortunately alot of Toyota clock springs are cheap and have the same plugs.
I've seen what appears to be 2 different thicknesses from NRG (both non quick release) but can't find any specs. Do you know if the thicker one alleviates the need for the spacer? Tough to find much product info. Thanks for your time.
I needed to clear my SRS light on my car and just ordered some resistors today. You have the cleanest video about this issue I've seen. Thanks for making this video!
I bought the same pack of resistors as you and I don't have the 2R2 resistors in your video. I have the 2F2, 2M, and 2K2 resistors. Which one is the right 2 ohm resistor?
I see what you did with the horn yet I dont understand how doing that makes it work. Because if that bracket is all the time touching that hub then why isnt the horn always going off?? It makes no sense to me.
So I like to manually shift mine when going down mountain passes etc. Is there a way to maintain that function? Or are you screwed if you go aftermarket steering wheel?
Not screwed. I sure you Could move the clock spring under the dash and take the buttons out of the wheel and put them some where else. You probably needed to extend some wiring.
Great video man thanks, Hey also did you buy a steeringwheel hub adapter or was the steering wheel exactly the bolts for your car,?see the steeringwheel I want to get is a 3 bolt but my 2002 MITSUBISHI MONTERO SPORT probably has a 6 bolt, at this point I really don't know yet
First vid I've seen for explaining the horn back ring and contact requirement! Big 👍 thanks 😀

Does it have to be 2ohms
Surprised you did this without disconnecting the battery! But am going to use this tutorial as a basis for my mustang. Thanks!
I’m assuming it’s a sn95. Did you get it? I a little confused on mine. My hub has 1 wire
I really hope I cut the right wire bc he wasn’t specifi on what color to cut. 3:14
How many wat 2 ohm resistor u use ???
the "airbag" is actually a clockspring i know this is from 5years ago but still
Damn I'm late to the party lol. Dope video! Bro got more keys than a janitor though 😂🍻
For real big thanks man now I got a horn in my airbag light is gone thank you lots
Lots of great info! Take my money 💴 show me how to edit!!!

mine didnt come with that brass plate for some reason....what can i do?
Good stuff. My steering wheel is nothing pretty. Thanks bro!
My gs300 is beeping when I turn ? You know why?
Man everything worked besides the airbag light is still on
I wish you would’ve showed how to cut and form the piece you used
The Professor is at it again. Good shit
Just lost 2 subs.
@@Donnythelatemodeltech Their loss. You'll make up for it.

I used a spacer
the hub that u have the link does not work
Does the airbag bypass work for bmw also or really any car?
Great vid, about to change out steering wheels on my rig. Does the factory trim leave an exposed spot on the bottom right hand side, looks like it in the video.
Yes, it's very small, you can't actually see any thing through the exposed spot.
This is exactly what I needed
Thank you. Great instructions. Learned a lot.
Thank you sir. If have time please check out my latest loads , they could use some support. Thanks again.
Is the 2 ohm universal? Because i bought a 3k ohm for my protege and it tried to fo the same thing and it didnt go off
Why the 3k?
I looked everywhere for a video that explained all steps and finally found it. The only bad thing is I've never done anything to my car on my own and I haven't found no one willing to connect horn for me.
grow a pair and do it yourself
So do I use a negative black wire to extend it?
??❤
I have a 2003 Toyota Camry
And it have 2 plugs of 2 wires each
Do I use the same 2 oms resistors on both plugs
Thank you I finally have a horn!
Really nice video.................How does a person find out what size resistor.....I have a 2006 Suzuki Forenza that I need to do the airbag bypass.....hope you can help !!!

Okay it might be a dumb question but what exactly is the brass pice he has under the shorthub called
What did you do with the cruise control lever? I saw a few 3d printed brackets made but nothing that looked good yet
Followed instructions and now when I make turns my traction control light will come on. Do you know what this means?? I've read that maybe the steering angle sensor needs to be recalibrated.. please help thanks!
Watched to put the stock wheel back on, need my cruise control (and horn)
Watching this video backwards put the oem one back in lol. Love the look of the GR steering wheels but kinda want an airbag on my daily.
Maybe a stupid question but, can't u just still use the clockspring or does that not work with an aftermarket steeringwheel? Great video btw!!
My airbag light was off at first then came on shortly after on the first drive. I opened it up and everything is still intact and in place. What would cause this? Do I need a higher ohm resistor?
Hi sir. My horn only has 1 wire on it. I don’t understand. I don’t know what to di now.
I put one on my 2006 gs430 - will it fit in a 2001 Gs?
Thanks for the vid. I have been trying to figure out the horn situation on my FJC. Thanks to your vid I can now put back the horn. Driving with no horn sucks.
Bro excellent video… I can’t wait to do this to my is250
You not keep the eshift?
Does it work for any airbag system? Like Im going to do it on my 2014 mustang and want to know if It should be the safe 2 ohm resistor ?
I'm just gonna cut this shit! 😂🤣 Love the video, been trying to figure this out for awhile, never thought about the bracket idea, thanks for the info!
that resistor is 2 ohm?
hey what’s the bracket made out of as i can’t get it to work

😁 thanks for sharing
do you absolutely need the spacer ?
No
Now do it on an ls400
Would this be same for first generation Xb
No idea
please what is the exact distanca from the plastic to the steering wheel mount? Actually it is the height of adapter + spacer.

Not really sure,
You may need another type of clock spring to get the additional wires through to have steering wheel control. Fortunately alot of Toyota clock springs are cheap and have the same plugs.
Love that torque spec tho😂
Great video ! Is there also a way to retrofit paddle shifters with an aftermarket wheel too? I can’t find information on that specific for the IS300.
You can totally do it, your just going to have to get crafty.
🤙
@@Donnythelatemodeltech Cheee! thanks bruh 🤙🤙
What holes do i plug resistor in? I have 4
I would also like to know this because I'm confused
Me too I wanna know that part bad
I got it posted on my Instagram I ended up figuring it out (07_offrolla.yyc)
I ended up getting the resistors nrg sends with the quick release.. airbag light popped up 2 days later. Fuses and all are still good. Dont know wtf
My brotha!! Thanks for this I literally thought this was going to be a mission.

This video literally just made my life! Thank you so much for this !
Do most airbags have the sameresistance value?
The 3 wires for my 04 mustang nrg the green one as u said I should discard. The black wire and red wire where do I connect them?
do the wires that you soldered on the back of the horn come with the steering wheel?
Yes
Check this out if your thinking about getting a nrg wheel, ruclips.net/video/UoXKaFGELBk/видео.html
@@Donnythelatemodeltech thanks brother
Question? can I do the same for a 1998 rav4 as far as the resistor part pr the airbag?
I bought the same resistor pack from amazon, i put one in the airbag socket, but my airbag light still does not turn off!.?
Get a meter and check the ohms , more than likely you have the wrong resistor.
Hmm anyone know where or how to get a bracket to get the horn to work?
This video has saved me, been trying to figure out the best way to fit an aftermarket wheel to my 2003 jimny without clockspring, thanks.
I bought the same pack of resistors as you and I don't have the 2R2 resistors in your video. I have the 2F2, 2M, and 2K2 resistors. Which one is the right 2 ohm resistor?
Red red gold gold
Damn hope this works in my 1998 gs300
I hope im not too late but can i skip the beginning all together and just run my car with no horn?
Your car dude
Why does my horn not stop honking now lol please help
I bought the same resistors. The light dose not come Off!. Help
Direct message me on Instagram, and I can try to help you out.👍
I really liked this video! Thanks a bunch!
Would I still need the spacer if I don’t plan on connecting the horn cables? however I would still like the horn cover to be there.
It hits the horn button not allowing it to seat onto the wheel
You know how to do the seat air bag bypass? I have different seats in my IS300. I’d appreciate any help.
Do the same thing to the seat airbag connectors with the resistors.
Do the hubs come wit the screws
Usually it’s the steering wheel that has the screws
Does the resister on the airbag work for all cars and trucks?
Probably not
Did you cut the resistor to make it shorter ?
I see what you did with the horn yet I dont understand how doing that makes it work. Because if that bracket is all the time touching that hub then why isnt the horn always going off?? It makes no sense to me.
The switch,,,,, "button" completes the circuit.
@@Donnythelatemodeltech when mine is set every time the wire touched the metal it’ll honk the horn constantly
Will this work the same for the seat airbag?
Hi, i have a question do you think i can fix my airbag light with the same method? I have and 2001 VW GOLF MK4
The resistance might be different, I can try to find out for you. Direct message me on Instagram.
TheLateModelTech sure i will!
I have a 2015 Scion tC is the resistance the same? I saw you have 1 ohm listed but spoke 2 ohm just want to make sure!
Thank you for this video!
Is it 2 ohms for all cars or just your specific car?
🤷🏻♂️
Good tasting music

Hey man, does self canceling still work
Yes
So I like to manually shift mine when going down mountain passes etc. Is there a way to maintain that function? Or are you screwed if you go aftermarket steering wheel?
Not screwed. I sure you Could move the clock spring under the dash and take the buttons out of the wheel and put them some where else. You probably needed to extend some wiring.
@@Donnythelatemodeltech ill just manual swap it i guess. probably less effort than extending some wires :P
does it have to be 2 ohms exactly? or can I use a stronger resistor ?
I would recommend the exact resistor

Thanks, but, I really don't understand your question.
Question as far as the 2.0 ohm resistor you mentioned, is there a specific wattage you choose?
TheLateModelTech QUESTION as far the 2 ohm resistor you had mentioned. Is there a certain wattage to look for?
Great video and top notch work
Really thanks this is helpful
Is this fit on frs ?
Mans a genius! 🙏🏽
Do you find it hard to reach the indicators?
Not at all
Nice, thanks for the information.👍
No problem 👍
do i need to remove the battery cables to remove the airbag?
Probably the safest way.
Is this the srk-120h hub ??
I believe it’s srk-121h
My hub came with 3 wires .. a red and green and a black ... for a mustang 04
Disregard the colors, extra third wire is for an accessory.
What do u mean accessory please explain more
@@user-ue5xb4th5i it's for a steering wheel that has an extra button, like for nitrous.
So what about the other two wires
?
10:45 what do you mean my GMT or GNT
