Be extremely careful when fitting the boards, tighten the screws very lightly, don’t ask me how I know.

Ok.... I have to do it... how do you know?

Ok, boards arrived yesterday, very well packaged and sent DHL to avoid delays.



Just follow the powerfuluk video on removing the wheel, don’t forget to unplug all accessories before starting!

Fitted yesterday but had to remove as the wiring from the white connector didn’t match up to the wires on the new pins, simple case of carefully lifting the white tabs, pulling the wires and reordering.. they should look like this



All now working perfectly so a very much cheaper way of doing this upgrade.. very good service from Fritjof...

Looking good

I went with the later airbag , only because it was flat ,along with the Switch chrome Ends, yeh i know

You might have to wait a few hours I went for the green LEDs rather than white as I thought it might be distracting but will certainly take a photo a little later

Thank you very much , my impatience got the better of me as usual
I’ve ordered a set (for the price why not)

I have been watching with interest. I have the blackbox boards fitted , but would like to try these boards with the white LED’s . Could you please take a picture of your steering wheel at night ?

Not at night but that's what it's like with white LEDs.

Gary, you’ve just answered a question I was going to ask about the back of the airbag sitting flush... wasn’t sure if it had curled up or that’s how it was... now I know

Will find the newer style airbag to go with my heated wheel when I do that... I can live with this one for now

Hi

It does seem the D3 airbags curl up at the back

So when I was looking for another airbag I noticed the front of the airbags were different between the D3/4 , namely the fronts , where they are slightly angled and then if u look on mine the front is flat

Found a better picture , This is what it looks like with the green backlighting , plus can see the front of the airbag easier

Also see you’ve fitted D4 stalks, shame they don’t light up

Always happy to help where I can

Also as a side note , i added an Aux socket in the middle of the dashboard , hopefully I’ve hidden it well enough so doesn’t stand out , Lol, bought a loom which is all plug and play so don’t have to mess around with wires at the back of the radio

As urs in an HSE I just wasn’t sure if the aux socket came as standard and was just a thought ref mods
