Volvo R-design Steering Wheel Accessorie installation.

[@lawrencepavesejr.9754]

This tutorial is some of the best videos for Volvo repair on the web. Thank you for your commentaries and professional work.

[@D5DRIFT]

I've just finished fitting this steering wheel to my S80. It all went very well, and as of yet, no problems. This guide is perfect. Thankyou Yuri .

[@badartcentral]

I am from Brazil and here is so expensive to be a volvo owner, it is so expensive to fix my car here, and just some people know how to work in a volvo. Thanks for yours tutorial so helpfully for me!!!! Thanks

[@phatasswj]

Just ordered mine up! Thanks again for being so honest and suggesting I go this route instead of buying your old one!

[@volvosweden]

+Ausländer Wow. You will not regret it!

[@dcstraight]

Thank you for the comprehensive instructions on how to carry out this changeover. I purchased my wheel (same as yours) for our '09 S80 and fitted it two nights ago - it's a great upgrade! I have the matching sports leather shifter in soft beige coming (ordered it tonight!). Keep up the great work - love the videos :-) Steve (Australia)

[@volvosweden]

+Steve Smith Thx! It's a great upgrade for sure

[@omega282]

I used your video to swap out the steering wheel on my 2013 XC60...like you, I found it difficult to locate the spring release...once I finally got it off, the rest was a breeze... Unlike you, the horn on the XC60 is mounted to the airbag so you only have to disconnect the green connector & theres an additional orange connector that needs to be disconnected... I was unable to take out the small screw that folds the sensor in place so i taped it in position without problem...thank you for your informative videos, I’ve learned alot about my Volvo because of you 🤘🏽

[@volvosweden]

Great I can help!!

[@SuperNightheat]

Good Evening Omega282, I too have a 2013 XC60 T6 that needs a new steering wheel, I am I have questions about doing such, How can I contact you other than this forum? Please advise. Thanks

[@bucketofguts]

Armed with this video I changed my 2003 XC-90 T6s' airbag in less than 5 min. I was able to use the remote to lock and unlock the XC-90 after putting the neg battery terminal back and only had to reset the clock. Thank you very much!

[@fritzpohl5451]

Thanks, I drive a C30 and your tutorials helped a few times. The technique used in both cars is quite similar.

[@shmeegie32]

Fritz Pohl are there any differences? Looking to change my stock c30 wheel to an r design one for the better feel. The stock one just feels so bland

[@raduski5278]

Excelent video. Helped me swap the leather SW with the mahony model to match the mahony inserts. The black cover on the back of your SW is meant to be removed in order to mount the standard black navigation joystick switch,with buttons. Unfortunately on my Mahon SW its revision is 2 years older than my car, not compatible, so I needed to cancel it and swap the switches with the ones from the original steering wheel. Also for the 2012 model the airbag comes with a mounted horn assembly, so they come out all together.

[@martinhaire1997]

You saved me a big bunch of time. I upgraded the wheel and the shifter knob in about 1-½ hours. I did not remove the steering column cowling, nor did I disconnect the Cruise and Audio control button connectors. To reinstall them I put a little Petroleum Jelly on the 6 holes and on the knobs. This is a nice upgrade as I felt the OE was too smooth in my grip.

[@andreaslindstrom4112]

Excellent video as always! That R-design steering wheel looks really nice! I know for sure that the Sport steering wheel in the XC70 Classic features metal in the bottom. Imo, these steering wheels looks a lot better than the ones in the new XC90, S90, V90 and XC60!

[@wademcisaac5298]

You are the best! This video will save viewer time at your expense. Thanks for posting this video re & re steering wheel,

[@ergman85]

Very good video description careful to details well done this is how all diy car videos should be

[@JesterheadSWE]

I see you leaning back everytime you turn on the car before you remove the airbag :) I'd be scared too. Great videos, helps a lot. Keep it up!

[@denniscaparros3348]

Thank you Volvosweden for sharing!!! You're the Best!!!

[@WaltonPete]

I always enjoy watching your videos and I admire your commitment even though I no longer have my Volvo XC70. I got a new XC60 towards the end of last year and funnily enough I appear to have virtually the same steering wheel as your new one except for the R-Design badge at the bottom as my XC60 is an SE Lux. I love Volvo cars and driving my XC60 feels very similar to driving my previous XC70 which is really nice! I particularly like the torque that the D5 engine produces and how effortless motorway driving is.

[@attilakiss4742]

Köszönöm szépen. A kedvenc Volvo videóim csinál. Nagyon sokat tanultam. Csak így tovább

[@mecaniquejp]

Great choice! I did it last year on my S80 V8 and I really like the feel of it it's the best upgrade I did on my S80 yet.

[@volvosweden]

+mecaniquejp It is a very nice upgrade.

[@Chris-13]

Great video , love your attention to detail . Wheel looks really good 👍. Thank you 🙏

[@gustavhansson614]

I'm from Sweden Love your videos, jag är från Sverige älskar dina videor

[@mefastman77]

So now i understood, this particular Volvo is a Volvo imported from Russia and in America. Pretty cool!

[@lenniebruce]

Brilliant, got mine on a few weeks ago. First one I've seen in the cream beige colour. I agree that it makes you feel like you've a different car in your hand as the grip is so secure and comfortable. It's worth it, even if the steering wheel is overpriced! Also, yes the R-Design metallic emblem is metal. I also added the matching sports gear knob which feels superb in tandem with the wheel! Enjoy Uri!!

[@volvosweden]

+Glenn McKee Hey Glen. What kind of knob did you install? The dotted leather or the metal one.

[@lenniebruce]

The dotted leather. It's very comfy, a little larger and overall better feel. What I would like now is the same chronograph cluster you have. For my Volvo S80 SE Lux, it wasn't standard until the 2010 model> I don't care for the LCD one they added in 2013 like the V40, it didn't look as classy IMHO, and a little cheap for a XC70 or S80.

[@jasper_north]

Glenn McKee u have the prt number for the R shifter? Is there a beige one?

Glenn McKee thanks!

[@D5DRIFT]

Ordered mine up today. Can't wait to get it! I already have the r design pedals,so it should match up lovely.

[@volvosweden]

What color? Beige or black?

[@D5DRIFT]

volvosweden the same part number as your one. Soft beige. I'm so excited.

[@volvosweden]

The RTI plug on mine was black. There is a beige one available. I will let you know the part number. I have it but did not install yet.

[@D5DRIFT]

volvosweden thankyou very much.

[@D5DRIFT]

volvosweden do you have the part number yet please friend

[@Gammalgubbe01]

It took me about an hour too, to release the airbag...... could be explained better in the manual..... but then again..... when you succeed it's greater fun this way! :)

[@ngerrits3004]

I mounted the R-design steering wheel. It looks great ! Thanks for the video.

[@BadGrandma]

Hello from California! Like your videos! They are really useful and help me know more about my Volvo! Thank you!

[@volvosweden]

+Young Liu California is number one on the list who watch my channel. Thank you. And hi to you from cold Canada.

[@edwilson6411]

Great video. How come you didn't choose to get the paddle shift wheel as I understand it's a plug-and-play upgrade? I'm looking at changing to paddle shift soon.

[@EwoutSchalkwijk]

Yes Yuri, the R design logo is metal. I felt it in the wintertime. Then it is really cold.... ;-)

[@volvosweden]

I thought about winter already. I just came back from some shopping and its so great to drive the Volvo with this wheel.

[@sjh60633]

Ewout Schalkwijk i think it is metal. the back end of mine in my s80 has started to flake up a little. makes it very sharp if you come across it.

[@Womtek1]

As a person from Sweden....I approve this video! :)

[@TubesWidener]

[@bosewaverocks]

Hi volvosweden. Question. I have your old steering wheel on my car. I’m looking to upgrade to the newer 2015 steering wheel the 3 spoke which has a different airbag shape. If I get a used good airbag. Will I have any issues installing another airbag other than the one originally installed in the car. Is it plug and play in that department? Don’t want nothing blowing up lol

[@sanderjordans172]

Hi bisewaferocks, did you already do this upgrade? I have the same idea but don’t know if this is possible without changing the clockspring

[@bosewaverocks]

@@sanderjordans172 I did. The only thing you have to change is the airbag part and the cables clock spring can stay the same

[@sanderjordans172]

@@bosewaverocks thanks for your reaction👍🏻 And the horn is at the back of the airbag now i think?

[@sanderjordans172]

This was a very well done video. Great descriptions and a swap I want to try soon. Thanks for making it...

[@anthonyzavala8302]

Woow now it looks better, I really like your Volvo.

[@jonatanmesa3749]

Hi volvosweden, thank you very much for the video. I have a question: you get out the clips while the battery is connected (to stay unlock the steering wheel I guess), and then you disconnect the battery for unplugging the airbag's connections. Is there any risk of airbag to active while you are getting out the clips?

[@adriebiemans2226]

Hello! I know it's a long time since you made this video but I've got a question: I just ordered a wooden steering wheel for my S80. In the instructions it says at the end: Activate the SRS system as described in "VIDA Vehicle communication, SRS, powering the SRS system" before turning the ignition key. Can this (safely) be skipped as you did in the video? Just like you I'm keeping the original buttons and airbag. Thanks!

[@volvosweden]

Hi. I am pretty sure Yes. Just disconnect the battery for the procedure.

[@ultrareal212]

Awesome video, replaced mine today by following it. It almost feels like I got a new car :) Спасибо!

[@film_freitag]

Hi! I did everything exactly like you said, built all together, and now my airbag control lights up and won’t go off.. Any advise??

[@thelegalscrivener]

💪😎. Nice showing who to pull up once its in

[@Honeypot-x9s]

is it differant for 2011 XC70's? i had a fight with mine today for 2 hours and gave up..

[@phatasswj]

Yuri, you should take the segment from this video where you teach us how to re-train the windows and make a separate video of it, because none of the videos on KZbin do a good job of explaining it SPECIFICALLY for our era of Volvo.

[@volvosweden]

Will do.

[@Europeanboy2011]

Hi there, thank you for the advice on waiting 10minutes after disconnecting the negative cable before unhooking the airbag connector. Could you please let me know if you had a SRS light on after the steering wheel change? Last time I had low/dead battery, a SRS error was triggered.

[@LocksLondon]

Excellent videos. Would you know if a new steering wheel with paddle shifters would work on a 2014 P3? Thanks

[@JaySingh-ex6xc]

Hi Yuri, that steering wheel looks beautifull how much as i think i eill change mine as well but i have a few more buttons on my car as these control the pointer on my sat nav. Keep the videos coming. Jay. U.K.

[@steffaneldred5192]

Great video. Where did you get the torque setting from please? I'm about to do the same on a 2015 V70. Thanks

I would say this protective RTI plastic cover matches your black sits! So.. all good ;)

[@volvosweden]

+Grzegorz Well. The seats are dark brown. The camera does not show good. The black cover not a big deal.

[@thewilscott]

[@1flyazn]

Does your car have heated steering? And if so, does it work with the new steering wheel?

[@volvosweden]

It does not…unfortunately

[@shadybad9836]

H Jasper,yes I did do that and have not regretted at all, the XC70 was a lovely car and I had it from new in 2011, but I really do like XC60 IT ROCKS and is a lot quicker and stable in lousy weather 💦🌨☃️

Shady Bad but the cabin and the dash, (sloping) seems so much smaller and narrower with the XC60. Is that true?

When you first disconect airbag spring and you turn steering wheel to the left and right, do you just start ignition and turn or you start engine and then turn?

[@akuckass]

and in russian language video I saw someone said that when everything is done, the key has to be inserted in to the car and turned ignition on and just then connect battery. But how can be ignition on when the battery is still off?
