Hey folks!
Was wondering if anyone in this group has installed an electronic steering wheel like the one I posted in the pic [IMG][/IMG] I am curious to see if there are any pros/cons with it. |

I've probably at least glanced at every thread on here for nearly three years and I'm pretty sure I've never seen that discussed, and did not even know it existed. What does it do?

Its a clone of the Msport steering wheel. The lights on the wheel are meant to indicate the hw best time shift when racing. I would assume that the install requires some wiring to be tapped into either the d- or k-can lines in order for those lights to work.

I know that alot of these aftermarket steering wheel you would lose the heated steering wheel function.. not sure if you are in a climate were you would take advantage of that . Thats what stopping me from upgrading ..
