Steering Wheel Air Bag

Hi New to the Site and to the Discovery 3. Love them both. Base 2006 model so I want to fit Radio switches to the steering wheel. Have all the instructions but how do you remove the Air Bag? Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome Thumbs Up

Make up a tool out of a coathanger or welding rod like this



Put it in the hole in the steering wheel cowling( one each side ) with the hook facing towards you...hook it under the bar and pull outwards ( towards the indicator stalk ) ..it will pop up ...repeat for the other side .

Move the airback up out the way ..dont have to disconnect anything then .

You can just about make out the metal pin that you latch under on this pic

I found rear ending a renault sceneic at about 120kph on a motorway
a highly effective to get the steering air bag out
takes literaly a fraction of a second to do Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.

Also appears 9/10 of stopping is stopping in time

BB, I think he wants to get the whole module out, not just the white baggy bit Wink Previously:
