Has anyone done this, removed the standard (5th gen) Steering wheel, for an aftermarket replacement?

I understand you'd lose function of the steering wheel controls (whatever these might be - dont have a 5th Gen yet). But is it an easy job, any feedback or guidance?

Also what controls would you generally find on the OE wheel - could these functions be replaced in this case by having a Stalk added to the steering column?

The only controls you will find on a 5th gen steering wheel are for the cruise control. With a little work these controls can be attached to other wheels a few people on here have done it.

Andy Pont was the last person to do this on a S2K steering wheel. There's a thread on here somewhere.

Hi mills, thankyou for the prompt feedback.

If it's only cruise control I'd be losing by removing the standard wheel, I will have no reservations about carrying out this task. I can carefully unplug the connectors from the rear of the Cruise buttons, and tuck them back into the steering column (behind the new Boss).

My overall aim is to fit a Snap-Off steering wheel kit (with aftermarket wheel).

if you have 4ws you need the correct boss with the 3rd notch

or make your own notch, with file

is there a write up for this anywhere explaining it it more detail? maybe with pics?

brilliant, cheers mate.

I dont think my post had any more detail apart from reusing the original cruise controls, but in case it is of any help...
