my mistake. Didn't know that was OEM, only ever seen it on yours so that's why I assumed it was custom

well you would be forgiven to thinking I had pimped it. Most of the car has been stroked in some way

I was everso happy when I saw that the controls were thus. It was one of the little bonus finds you have with a new car

i thought that i would take a look at the steering wheel on my s, so i removed the airbag and disconnected the harness.

i undid the bolt and took the wheel off with no issues, but i couldnt get the remaining wire plug through the hole in the wheel.

i have been looking at steering wheels on ebay and found that most dont come with the cable reel. so if i buy a wheel without the reel how am i to reuse my reel if i cant get the wire plug through the old wheel.

i was hoping the plug from the following picture would come off but it looks like it doesnt.

that's a strange 1 bud

I didn't have that problem when I removed the wheel on my type S. its like the back is completely different to mine, and other 5th gens for that matter

and yeah, that plug will not come off the reel. the other end should come through the steering wheel, someone got it in there some how

Nice use of the pointer

Yeah, that does look different from the wheel i just removed

The plug came through the whole quite easily

when i removed the bag, written in jdm tipex said... ekr and some jap text. so the wheel is from an ek9 type r.
the only thing i i could do is dremel the hole bigger to allow for the loom to pop through.

Sounds like a plan bud, you definitely don't want to be chopping them wires

Didn't think it was a type s wheel. It would've had 4WS on the back by the extra notch

Honda obviously used the 4WS steering wheel and sexed it up with the red stitching
