🏎 NRG Steering Wheel Installation Airbag Light Bypass and Horn Wiring On My Lexus IS300

[@DadDiaries]

First vid I've seen for explaining the horn back ring and contact requirement! Big 👍 thanks 😀

[@adamschroeder2545]

DUDE!!! This was THE MOST HELPFUL and PROFESSIONALLY orchestrated video and job I've seen on here on how do do this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm gonna give the horn bracket thing a try also. You made it look SO possible. Keep up the good vids.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Cool and thanks.

[@j.acencc6273]

Best video on steering wheel installation ever. I was thinking about making one because every Damn one on the internet they runthe wire strait threw...popping off the contact plate and shit... Except this one...finally someone making a vid with a bracket horn contact kit type install. Ill make mine for an mx5.

[@klrmatt5814]

Surprised you did this without disconnecting the battery! But am going to use this tutorial as a basis for my mustang. Thanks!

[@RBoysMedia]

I’m assuming it’s a sn95. Did you get it? I a little confused on mine. My hub has 1 wire

[@indycog]

I needed to clear my SRS light on my car and just ordered some resistors today. You have the cleanest video about this issue I've seen. Thanks for making this video!

[@r35tmanbash]

Thanks for the vid. I have been trying to figure out the horn situation on my FJC. Thanks to your vid I can now put back the horn. Driving with no horn sucks.

[@reekoboost7498]

This video has saved me, been trying to figure out the best way to fit an aftermarket wheel to my 2003 jimny without clockspring, thanks.

Does it have to be 2ohms

[@michaelcortez9623]

My brotha!! Thanks for this I literally thought this was going to be a mission.

[@alexstyle420]

For real big thanks man now I got a horn in my airbag light is gone thank you lots

[@Nickodelic]

Awesome vid dude, you made everything so clear and easy to follow. Definitely gonna be doing this to mine in the future. That cinematic edit was sick too!

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Thanks, I'm really happy you checked out the video, I thought I heard you say you installed coilovers on yours, ? , coilovers are going to be my next video. So I wanted to see what you got. 🤙

[@Nickodelic]

@@Donnythelatemodeltech I got the BC Racing BR series (non extreme low) with upgraded swift springs 16k front/14k rear. Upgraded the springs because I wanted something slightly stiffer since I do plan to do light autocross with my car in the future. With the damping on max soft the car feels nice to daily, I'd say slightly stiffer than stock. I cranked the damping to max hard and it was definitely a different ride, car feels tighter and stiff, kinda bouncy due to the crappy roads where I live. I'd say the BC's are a good bang for your buck, they are rebuildable too. What coilovers were you planning on getting?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

@@Nickodelic I ordered the Bc s Friday, without the spring upgrade, still no email on the shipping lol. Good to hear I made the correct choice.

[@flinch622]

Note he went with a deep dish wheel. There are 50mm and 75mm aftermarket spacers available to get ergonomics back to "driver" mode for any wheel - especially those that have shallow or zero dish. You might not care about a difference around town, but cross country is another story.

[@situationsshow1537]

Thank you I finally have a horn!

[@dori2ae86redcoup]

How many wat 2 ohm resistor u use ???

[@franklingorospe1913]

Thank you. Great instructions. Learned a lot.

Damn I'm late to the party lol. Dope video! Bro got more keys than a janitor though 😂🍻

[@Jiekexun]

Watching this video backwards put the oem one back in lol. Love the look of the GR steering wheels but kinda want an airbag on my daily.

[@Ch3sl0ck]

Is there traction light on due to this process or did you already have it on?

[@King.Quartilliam]

I really hope I cut the right wire bc he wasn’t specifi on what color to cut. 3:14

[@choppaj247]

You not keep the eshift?

[@malachicress]

I really liked this video! Thanks a bunch!

[@dsindar26]

that resistor is 2 ohm?

[@rme5531]

Watched to put the stock wheel back on, need my cruise control (and horn)

[@bigtimereacts252]

Does the airbag bypass work for bmw also or really any car?

[@alexrothschild5044]

What did you do with the cruise control lever? I saw a few 3d printed brackets made but nothing that looked good yet

[@danielgause9965]

Did you cut the resistor to make it shorter ?

[@aquaanthony697]

Okay it might be a dumb question but what exactly is the brass pice he has under the shorthub called

[@rafeeksankar4505]

I have a 2003 Toyota Camry And it have 2 plugs of 2 wires each Do I use the same 2 oms resistors on both plugs

[@jdmjermz]

Mans a genius! 🙏🏽

[@asandberg6]

Do most airbags have the sameresistance value?

[@Danieldw-pz3ud]

hey what’s the bracket made out of as i can’t get it to work

[@josegromero4891]

Do the hubs come wit the screws

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Usually it’s the steering wheel that has the screws

[@gabegarcia7779]

I put one on my 2006 gs430 - will it fit in a 2001 Gs?

[@vikingselph5475]

What holes do i plug resistor in? I have 4

[@thatelectritian]

I would also like to know this because I'm confused

[@LITLEGEND]

Me too I wanna know that part bad

[@thatelectritian]

I got it posted on my Instagram I ended up figuring it out (07_offrolla.yyc)

[@vikingselph5475]

I ended up getting the resistors nrg sends with the quick release.. airbag light popped up 2 days later. Fuses and all are still good. Dont know wtf

[@robipira]

Will this work the same for the seat airbag?

[@flinch622]

I believe the IS300 specs also work for early Tacomas? [95-97]. Thank you for posting. As I understand airbag evolution, The designs begun in the 80's were over the top: a little too much volume and rate of inflation was really fast to compensate-airbag injuries did occur. 90's improved somewhat, but inflation rate still a little too much. Near '98, supplementary bags [side curtain] were in the works but not widely available - further reductions of inflation rate began. As I see it, any pre-98 vehicle is a good candidate for an aftermarket wheel, the number one reason being... get your driver ergonomics back! Horizontal distance from pedals to steering wheel in airbag cars is too short: they did it not to accomodate 4' 1" drivers, but to make leg position uncomfortable enough that you would put the seat rearward, which added room between driver and bag. The cockpit geometry itself is proof that manufactureres knew airbags were causing injuries, and extra space would reduce liabilities. OEM's aren't bad guys for doing this, but rather their engineers had to find a workaround to imbeciles in congress trying to design cars. Remember... prior to airbags cushioning stats, CAFE standards initially caused about 5,000 extra motorist deaths each year. Your dealer called this removal of steel mass a "crumple zone" - some worked, some were just underbuilt cars.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

😁 thanks for sharing

[@harof2bmx]

mine didnt come with that brass plate for some reason....what can i do?

[@Diego-dv2rg]

do the wires that you soldered on the back of the horn come with the steering wheel?

Really nice video.................How does a person find out what size resistor.....I have a 2006 Suzuki Forenza that I need to do the airbag bypass.....hope you can help !!!

[@ipfrly89]

HKB bosskit for IS300 will allow the oem plugs to plug in. Then just use a retaining ring make sure Nardi horn button. Buy the parts brand new only, from HKB etc, so you don't miss any accessories.

[@louiszindawa6950]

Mine just came today lmao these guys had to suffer back then😂

[@_s_y_x]

Does the resister on the airbag work for all cars and trucks?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Probably not

[@claytonshields1820]

I put one on my civic eg and my horn button won’t fit in so I’m guessing I’ll have to buy a spacer or a quick disconnect since both should eliminate the problem

[@livinglargeandfree8322]

Would this be same for first generation Xb

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

No idea

[@Mcneilj10]

Bro excellent video… I can’t wait to do this to my is250

[@Whitelightening09]

Question? can I do the same for a 1998 rav4 as far as the resistor part pr the airbag?

[@IngHumanClay]

please what is the exact distanca from the plastic to the steering wheel mount? Actually it is the height of adapter + spacer.

[@itz_kemp3890]

Is this fit on frs ?

[@elijahknight]

Followed instructions and now when I make turns my traction control light will come on. Do you know what this means?? I've read that maybe the steering angle sensor needs to be recalibrated.. please help thanks!

[@franklinurrea8033]

Bro!! You’re a life saver!! I have a GS300 with a Nardi wheel with no horn!! This video is just what I was looking for 🙌🏻

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Cool

[@alexesquivel5555]

Does it work for any airbag system? Like Im going to do it on my 2014 mustang and want to know if It should be the safe 2 ohm resistor ?

[@ULATAN.]

Great video ! Is there also a way to retrofit paddle shifters with an aftermarket wheel too? I can’t find information on that specific for the IS300.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

You can totally do it, your just going to have to get crafty.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

[@ULATAN.]

@@Donnythelatemodeltech Cheee! thanks bruh 🤙🤙

[@akarilotube]

I've seen what appears to be 2 different thicknesses from NRG (both non quick release) but can't find any specs. Do you know if the thicker one alleviates the need for the spacer? Tough to find much product info. Thanks for your time.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

I have no idea.

[@lostaperz]

do you absolutely need the spacer ?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

No

[@akarilotube]

Great vid, about to change out steering wheels on my rig. Does the factory trim leave an exposed spot on the bottom right hand side, looks like it in the video.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Yes, it's very small, you can't actually see any thing through the exposed spot.

[@user-ue5xb4th5i]

The 3 wires for my 04 mustang nrg the green one as u said I should discard. The black wire and red wire where do I connect them?

[@KamikazeKiid]

My airbag light was off at first then came on shortly after on the first drive. I opened it up and everything is still intact and in place. What would cause this? Do I need a higher ohm resistor?

[@ellardcazenas101]

Hi sir. My horn only has 1 wire on it. I don’t understand. I don’t know what to di now.

[@Ghst95]

My gs300 is beeping when I turn ? You know why?

[@danielalvarez6843]

Would I still need the spacer if I don’t plan on connecting the horn cables? however I would still like the horn cover to be there.

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

It hits the horn button not allowing it to seat onto the wheel

[@gogojjt]

Did this and my horn won’t stop honking since it’s always touching metal on the short hub. Even if it worked with the steering wheel horn interrupting the circuit when you take it off the quick release it will still be honking because the horn wire is touching metal. Any suggestions?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

I used a spacer

[@Kellstrix]

[@PrplexedMG]

Hmm anyone know where or how to get a bracket to get the horn to work?

[@ernestosanteliz7145]

I looked everywhere for a video that explained all steps and finally found it. The only bad thing is I've never done anything to my car on my own and I haven't found no one willing to connect horn for me.

[@OSOKCyber]

grow a pair and do it yourself

[@sherm9729]

I bought the same pack of resistors as you and I don't have the 2R2 resistors in your video. I have the 2F2, 2M, and 2K2 resistors. Which one is the right 2 ohm resistor?

Red red gold gold

Love that torque spec tho😂

[@unkn0wn_bandit414]

Hey man, does self canceling still work

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

[@199hamill]

Is it 2 ohms for all cars or just your specific car?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@russelljackson855]

Great video and top notch work

[@danielalvarez6843]

does it have to be 2 ohms exactly? or can I use a stronger resistor ?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

I would recommend the exact resistor

[@db9904]

So I tried doing the 2 ohm resistor on my 1998 GS 300 And the airbag light is still on does it make a difference if I leave the clock spring in and I do it on the other side where it plugs into the back of the bag? I’m putting a newer style steering wheel on it and I want to leave the clock spring so I can run cruise control and horn and possibly wire up volume controls

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Not really sure,

[@thecookeman]

You may need another type of clock spring to get the additional wires through to have steering wheel control. Fortunately alot of Toyota clock springs are cheap and have the same plugs.

[@davidhannan2911]

Nice, thanks for the information.👍

So I like to manually shift mine when going down mountain passes etc. Is there a way to maintain that function? Or are you screwed if you go aftermarket steering wheel?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Not screwed. I sure you Could move the clock spring under the dash and take the buttons out of the wheel and put them some where else. You probably needed to extend some wiring.

[@cruisecurtis3247]

@@Donnythelatemodeltech ill just manual swap it i guess. probably less effort than extending some wires :P

Get a meter and check the ohms , more than likely you have the wrong resistor.
