has anyone ever managed to gain access to remove the steering wheel controls?

I am asking as i wish to remove the right hand side ones as it appears I have dirty contacts in them as they only work when they feel like it all thought he left hand side works perfectly.. grr.. for those unsure what side I mean vol up, vol down and mute

believe it or not Mel managed to remove the right steering controls, she can give pointers. Monkfish can then tell you how to fix, worth giving roger a pm/call to ask what/how to do or Mel for the quick method.

ferret i did remove two controls however this was by accident ie i broke them (thanks stig) The only way to get at them is to remove the airbag. If its not a dirty contact then its a whole new set of controls. Well over £100 IIRC. Good luck mate

as I don't fancy the Mel removal guide any one an air bag removal guide

I have done this a few times and it is very simple


1. First disconnect battery and wait 10mins ( have been told to its to make sure u dont get a airbag fault)

2. You need a file or flat tip screw driver to get into the 4 slots at the back so u can unclip the airbag.

3. Pop all four u will have to turn the steering wheel to get to each side.

4. the airbag will come away from the steering wheel but wilL have a few wires connected so make sure u undo them too

5.You can now get at the Audio controls.

6. Just reverse the process to replace.

very handy thanks feller. looks like i know what im doing this weekend

[the_ferret82]

controls fixed..

not a hard job either. only worrying part is removing the air bag.

it turned out ot be a bad ground. cleaned up the contacts and all sorted. scarey part is the airbag uses the same ground point.

while i had it all aprt i also cleaned the the switch contacts and now it works perfectly even the side that did work works better now.
