Never disconnect that airbag with the battery connected. A better way to do it: Turn the car onto accessories only (Don't start it) then disconnect the battery. This will prevent the steering lock from coming on and allows you to manually turn the wheel left / right to disconnect the airbag.

@HaydenSchreier

You can unclip the airbag perfectly fine with the battery connected. Nowhere in my video did I disconnect or touch the airbag wires with the battery still connected. Metal clips holding airbag to the wheel have nothing to do with the airbag wiring harness. Thats like saying don’t unscrew your seat with the battery still on because there’s an airbag in the seat. Obviously you can unscrew your seat with the battery still on. Just disconnect the battery before unplugging the airbag

That is sick bro, sounds like one could start importing these and making a killing..

@HaydenSchreier

4 ай бұрын

Good question, I also have had an 8V Audi a3 2.0t. Christina does have a wheel with paddle shifters for you. Heres the MAJOR thing, if you do not have paddle shifters currently on your car then you need to purchase buttons from her that work with paddle shifters or buy separate buttons which I can provide you the eBay link for. Then it’s just plug and play after that! DM me on instagram

I don’t currently have paddle shifters on my a3. If I buy a new wheel, how are the shifter’s being powered?

@HaydenSchreier

If you buy a new wheel you will also need to buy new buttons that can power the paddle shifter. the A3 steering wheel buttons arent wired to send power to shifters even though there is a plug for them on the back. You have two options. the first is replace your wheel with an S3 or RS3 wheel that has buttons and shifters already on it. Option 2 is buy a carbon fiber wheel from christina who i show in my video and also tell her that you need to purchase the additional button assembly to make the paddle shifters work

@HaydenSchreier

8 ай бұрын

The alcantara airbag cover? I mean anything not from factory has its risks. HOWEVER upon further inspection of mine. It is indeed an OEM Audi steering wheel cover that you can see from the inside. You can tell it’s OEM and that they have put alcantara over it. I’m not sure it if it’s perforated or will tear upon airbag explosion (I hope it does) but I can’t be sure until it’s tested. I have seen videos of other airbags w alcantara on them tested and it does show it working

How is the alcatana with time ? Does it fade away or is it great quality bro ?

You don't really need to unplug the battery, just make sure the car is fully OFF when removing the airbag.

you 10000000% shoudl take the extra step to unplug the battery. this is to lower the risk of detonating the airbag and also throwing an airbag light. yes airbags dont deploy if the car is off but why risk it.

Ciao amico, posso chiederti una info? Ho visto il tuo video tante volte, perché anche io ho installato i tasti drive select e start. Ma nel collegamento che fai nella consol centrale fai solo il collegamento dei pin che vengono dal tasto di accensione, il 3 è il 6. Il Red è 12v e il Black e massa. Mi chiedo come fa a funzionare il tasto drive select? Grazie per la risposta

@HaydenSchreier

26 күн бұрын

mi spiace, parlo inglese e non italiano, quindi per favore traduci il mio testo Pin 3 and 6 are connections that tap into your push start button and the red and black are power for it as we are piggy backing the connection. The drive select buttons get power as they piggy back off the steering wheel. As you can see when I plug the steering wheel in there are more wires than the original. The steering wheel wires are for drive select power and the center console is only for start/stop buttons

@HaydenSchreier

Its been awhile, but I believe you need constant power even when the car is off. Go buy the fuse tester I have and see which fuse is constantly on. Then unplug your battery, pull the fuse and put the fuse tap in. You can also go online and check what the fuse your pulling is used for.

Not an r8 or a ttrs wheel. You might want to change the name on the video to r8/ttrs buttons on a3/s3/rs3 wheel or retrofit kit. R8/ttrs wheels are completely different than rs3 wheels. For start the main buttons are illuminated red instead of white and theres a big gap in center of ttrs and the r8 wheel. Also r8 wheel and or ttrs wheels depending on model have exhaust flap buttons and race mode buttons attached to the drive select and start stop but are extremely hard to program to an rs3. The drive select and start stop retrofit kit you have on that wheel are extremely easy to install.

There’s a proper way and a lazy way and this is definitely the lazy cheap way. Instead of using the allready existing free pins specifically designed for that feature is absolutely hilarious. The kessy ecu is directly under the steering wheel cover where you could have picked the start signal from but hey, ripping 1/10 of the car out to do sketchy wiring with janky looking buttons is the way.
