Looking to get one of these for my 2004 WRX Wagon build, but considering buying this one and a module to convert all of the steering wheel controls as I like the newer steering wheels better.
A great video brother. Stay safe and be well. Subies forever.

Data stream with cobb is accessport is unstable while this steering wheel is installed and operational.
Where are you drawing power from? Fuse box? Or do I tap into the volume buttons red wire? Kinda stumped on the install

Ranger TS it's tapped to the red wire. Which is connected to the light switch as well so you can actually turn the led screen off.

@@jdmuscleusa hi, I tapped mine into the red wire as told but when my auto lights turn off during the day, the wheel also turns off... Is that how it works? I would like it to turn on during the day without having to manually turn on and off the lights every time...
Is it common for the ABS sensor to appear on the dash after installation? Also diff lock gets disabled . Any recommendations?

Reconnect your battery!
Wouldn’t the battery die by directly tapping it into the red wire of the steering wheel?

It won't. Power is down when you shut off your vehicle.

I'd check with them as they might have a different unit - most likely you will want to find a different cable for 12 V ACC
Can your led wheels work with a jdm import. 2004 subaru sti??

Yes!
great vid. quick question, when reinstalling the steering wheel, how much pressure do you put to ensure it sits on the column the way it is supposed to? Should it be as deep so the column and steering wheel splines are flush or there will be some depth left and after the install, I will still see the steering wheel splines that sit above the column?

Thank you and good question. It should sit flush looking from the top. Give it a little wiggle should help pushing it in.
Do you have one that fits a 2017 Toyota 86

I have a question, I install one in my Subaru STI 2018 but the steering wheel does not mark the directional when I turn to any side that I want. And I have seen that in other cars if they do, perhaps in the Subaru does not it?

Ours doesn't come with the function you mentioned. It could be a different LED module you saw in other videos.

Hey man, I dont know if you remember but... to what cable did you tap the power? I tried it in my 2019 STI and when I turn off the lights, the led smart wheels turns off too because that wire I tapped into seems to be the power cable for the lights in the controllers. Confused on what cable I should go for.
Are you guys planning on making one for the 08-14 STI?
