Good video, clear and concise! Question, if replacing a deployed airbag, looks striaghtforward to put a new(or used) airbag in....but of course, the module needs to be either replaced as well, or reprogrammed....do you have a video on that? Can a used, undeployed airbag be fitted?(provided of course, it has the same options, and is the correct fit)? How big of a task to ge the control module sorted? Thanks

[@seifsplace]

It be nice to have the reprogramming instructions too. I need to replace my airbag

[@highbi8706]

Thanks so much for sharing. Im automobile electrician from Nigeria 🇳🇬.I was thinking how to remove the airbag, switch: having here with me audi A6 and switch to replace

Great instructional, just finished your steering wheel removal walkthrough. Do you happen to know, regarding the b7, if the 4-spoke and 3-spoke non-s/line airbags are interchangeable?

[@stuarthaigh6051]

Is the airbag for standard b7 Rs4 interchangeable with airbag in flat bottom wheel? I am looking to switch the boring rs4 round wheel with flat bottom wheel and hoping to switch the original airbag across.

[@adamuddgren8206]

Hey! i got a question, i got an audi a4 airbag with the steeringwheel that has buttons so it have the same as this one you are showing, but i wana change it out and i got one steeringwheel that is without the extra cable and no buttons for the audio and so on, can i just switch the cables from the airbag or that could make an error or fault in the future ?

[@TotalTechnik]

Physically you can change it over to any other A4 wheel that takes your existing airbag with no issues. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

Is this the same for a audi S5 b9 coupe

[@sni101]

Is this the same procedure for an audi a3 8p dual stage airbag and disconnecting the negative battery terminal? do you also need to keep the ignition switch on while doing this all the way through or do you need to turn off and take the key out once battery disconnected? i have a flat bottom steering wheel that i want to fit just want to be certain

Hey there! Unfortunately we are not covering the A3 platform just yet. We are hoping to be able to expand Total Technik to cover additional models, but it's not a cheap undertaking and our expansion will be solely reliant on the support we receive from our viewers.

Will a B7 steering wheel work on a B8?

[@garymangan2761]

indicator snapped right at the joint of the stalk .is it possible to glue . can the casing itself just come off

[@TotalTechnik]

It will likely be too weak if you glue it. The best option may be to buy a used one on eBay and swap it over yourself. Should not cost very much money at all for a used stalk.

Can I insert a steering wheel from an Audi Q5 2010 to an Audi A4 B7 without any changes and does the airbag from the B7 steering wheel fit the Q5 2010 steering wheel?

Hi I have an Audi A3 technik 2010 and I need to remove the airbag trim to replace the cover with a custom cover I ordered would it be similar to this and is a torque wrench all I need? Or is there an easier way

Not sure on replacing the airbag cover. That's not something I'd normally consider doing as it has safety implications.

[@rockyW46]

Hi buddy,I wanted to ask you if you can help me with this problem, I have an Audi A3 8P from 2003 with a three-spoke steering wheel without radio controls, and I would like to mount a steering wheel with radio controls, they told me I can do it and I have to change the antagonist ring too , but I have to pay attention to the type of airbag I am going to mount because my airbag control unit supports only those single-stage, right?. I looked behind my airbag is in fact there is only one connection If I want to mount a steering wheel like this you showed in the video, should I also replace the airbag control unit? because otherwise I would have errors on the dashboard with light coming on and malfunction of the airbag in case of emergency right?, in practice then only a charge would work ?, thanks for the reply and help , best regards .

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! We're not covering the A3 platform yet, but hope to in the future if we get enough support from our viewers. Be very wary of changing from single stage to dual stage airbags. This exact scenario is also on the A4/S4 models between B6 and B7. There are a couple of options to wire them up, but no proof that they actually discharge correctly in the case of an accident. If you search around online you may find the images of an Audi A4 B6 owners car who upgraded the steering wheel to a B7 one and had a bang. The airbag did not deploy, and it was a considerable knock! As it's safety related, stick to factory just in case and be secure knowing it will deploy should the worst happen, --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

How about if I ONLY want to remove the airbag cover to paint rings? I still have to remove the entire airbag piece??

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Yes, personally I would. It's easy to remove, and you really don't want to be dismantling airbags for poetntial safety reasons.

So after my swap(I watched all of the videos to do a wiper stalk swap) And at the same time swapped my base model multifunction wheel for the sport 3 spoke(much like the one on this car) and am now getting an Airbag light. The car is an 07 B7 and I believe the steering wheel/airbag is from a b7 as well. From my recollection it had the dual plugs on the backside of the airbag indicating dual stage. Any idea why I have the light? Or how to fix this? Everything else works properly.

[@deegee4264]

If you replace the airbag (and wheel) but not the actual airbag module, is it necessary to program the new airbag via VCDS? I'm looking to put a nicer and different color wheel & airbag on my car, same exact style as the old one. Old airbag has never deployed or anything. Just a straight swap.

[@marcsettle1626]

Not necessary

[@riteshnowbut1898]

Hello sir.. is it possible to change the airbag cover only without taking out the entire airbag? I got an a6 2010 and the airbag cover looks a bit old on mine..

[@TotalTechnik]

Not really no. Far safer and easier just to replace the whole unit. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

You guys happen to know if an Audi A6 4 spoke 06-08 air bag fits an Audi A4 2008 4 spoke steering wheel if it doesn't do you know any other Audi air bag that is compatible with an A4 4 spoke steering wheel thanks

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there It's not something we would want to advise on TBH. The airbag is so key in driver safety that changing to another airbag has possible safety issues. Personally I'd stick with factory airbag and upgrade the steering wheel (which is what I assume you really want to change??) May be worth asking around on the forums on that, but bear in mind that there is always a possibility it may not deploy if it is not the original factory airbag designed for that model. Just because the electrical plugs may be the same, it does not mean the pin assignment will be the same, or that the signal sent by the car is the same as that required by the airbag. It's a bit of a can of worms TBH. But best of luck with it! Please be sure to support us: subscribe to our KZbin channel and help spread the word!

[@Galaxy_R]

Hello! I've got an Audi a3 8p 2007 with 4 spoke steering wheel, looks like that one in your video but it has 4 spokes. Is it the same procedure to remove the airbag as you showed here? And also I'm planning to install 3 spoke steering wheel from A3 2010, will it fit to my car?

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Yes, the process for airbag removal is the same for the majority of Audi and VW models so this should be more than enough to guide you through! Changing the steering wheel itself is generally not an issue, provided the original airbag is used. The airbag is a safety item and so important not to alter. But the steering wheel should phyically fit no problem. Not sure if your new/old wheel is multi-function etc, so you may just have to give it a try. Might be worth a Google search to find info from someone who has done this same retro-fit. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Please ensure you subscribe to our KZbin channel. 2) Please give our video's the Thumbs Up on KZbin. 3) Please help spread the word, the more people who know about us the better!

You'll need some kind of diagnostic software to reset the airbag. Try that, and if it stays off you're all set.

[@mrharpman]

Hey guys, I was wondering if I can upgrade my A4 B7 steering wheel to one with the multifunction buttons. Have you ever done this before? Do I need any special sets of cables? Best regards

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Almost certainly I would say yes it would be possible. I have not done this adaptation myself, but I see no reason why it cannot be done. You may have to upgrade a couple of components within the steering wheel assembly. I'd recommend doing some Google research or visiting one of the Audi forums like audi-sport.net as more info on this upgrade should be available. Best of luck!

Hi I have a B6 and I want to change my steering wheel. Can i replace the B6 steering wheel with a B7 one? Thanks

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Physically yes, but B6 was single stage airbag and B7 was dual stage airbag. So not straight forward. You'll have to do DIY wiring to adapt, and there's no guarantee that it would actually fire in the case of an accident.

Easier to buy a replacement airbag. Get a used one if budget is tight as new can be pricecy. BUt trying to take the airbag apart is not a good idea :-(

It’s easy.You must unscrew 3 torx screws and remove the metal part. Then pull on the plastic part until you remove it. The airbag will not explode without worries.
