Need OMP Hub/Aftermarket Steering Wheel Swap How-To
Hi, guys! I've been searching high & low for a clear & detailed steering wheel swap DIY to not much avail. Any help w/ pics on resistor, horn & retention of turn indicator canceling would be so much appreciated.
I've an 02 R53 w/ the 2 spoke MFSW.
Ready to go in are an OMP Hub w/ 1 fused resistor + an old school Luisi wheel w/ horn button (1 plug terminal for + & 1 spring wire that helps press fit tight into the boss kit as ground). Since Luisi & OMP don't share same allen bolt PCD, I also have an adapter ready.
I've seen the 2 spoke non MFSW removal. Questions are:
1. There are 2 airbag plugs-green & black. OMP only has 1 resistor. This goes to the green & leave the black w/o any resistor like in this thread?
http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f22/...-wiring-27240/
Or both green & black connectors should have its own resistor.
2. Is there any drilling on the OMP hub to accommodate turn signal canceling retention? Or should I just cut that white plastic protruding stub that obstructs when the hub sits? Would this disable the turn indicator cancel if & when I opt to return to stock?
3. Do I have to cut off the stock horn plug & connect to the new wheel? Brown wire as ground?
4. Any chance of having the radio & cruise buttons transferred to work?
Hoping for tips, enlightenment or best: a complete HOW-To Thread. Thanks & Merry Christmas, all!

That looks great, Fixed! Did exactly that. Thanks to rkde over @ m|u & minitorque for a huge push of help. Here's my thread that turned into a HOW-TO:

If you unplug the steering airbag w/o the proper resistors in, you'll get the SRS light. That means it's disabled. The only issue is it'll be like driving a classic Mini.
The pluses? As you see w/ Fixedsix's, you can go old school classic; install a quick release system; won't have to face that unsightly MINI wheel w/ lousy emblem; Ergonomics:bring the wheel closer; have your preferred size MOMO, OMP,Nardi, Sparco; you can go leather, suede, polurethane, wood.
