Swapping Steering Wheels
How hard is it to swap my current black steering wheel to a wood grain steering I hate the way the black one looks it doesn't compliment the interior at all

Pretty easy. I changed my steering wheel with a new one after it hit 150k miles. Although, I don't know about swapping to a facelift model wheel on a prefacelift car. I would think the connections would be the same. From what I remember, extend the steering wheel column out all the way to give yourself room to use tools behind the wheel. Disconnect the battery and remove the push button start. Wait 15-20 minutes for system to discharge. I recall there are a few torx screws in back of the steering wheel that hold the airbag unit. Remove the airbag module by disconnecting the wire connector to it and then you can access screws holding the wheel to the steering column. It’s been a while but pretty self explanatory when you open it up. I think there’s a write up on it somewhere in the forum.
you will need the whole center unit for this swap to work (the thing with gear selector, light and switch indicator, and most importantly - airbag strip that has not been tampered with + with the same distronic setup - especially if you don't have distronic "plus" with radars, then get one with the same setup). The facelift steering wheel connectors only fit the facelift central console unit...
Some of the pictures are not available because they are old you will find them in the second page of the thread but read the first page , it's quite easy there is no need to get any thing other than the steering wheel which you have already and the rest is a diy .
