I will take a bunch of pictures Monday Morning... Ill have pics of both airbags to show you the difference...

Centurion

Very cool.
Looking forward to those pics.

Finny

Yeah... exactly the same wheel.

Obviously there may be another way to skin a cat.

Curious to see how the 03 version was done.

The 07 version airbag fitted the same way with no problems. It was just the control electronics that gave me trouble which now works fine.

Zod

So is it easy straight forward or not then, cause am confused now
Also does it come in different colors?
thanks

Finny

It seems that Jeff has it knocked on the head for the 03 system via a different installation method.

Jeff, is it done through software or hardware or both?

Thanks!

What year is the above?

chiromikey

video states '03 but i'm calling bs since that head unit and center console weren't available on '03 e55's. looks more like an '05 or '06.

Finny

Those pedals didn't come out in an 03 either unless they were added after.

Zod

thanks for the vid
but as you can see people are still unsure
and i am confused now too as there are two different stories!

The vehicle is an 05 E55 Wagon, I apologize for the typo on the video title.

jangy

It works on an '06

$2500 seems a bit much. I got the wheel and airbag for $900 brand new.. So i assume the $1600 is for all the modding need to make it work in an 03'?

Here's a pic of the factory 05 E55 wagon airbag

Here's a pic of CLK BS steering wheel with the distribution block

And here is the factory 63 airbag

Here is the CLK BS steering wheel in an E63

I'd like to see a video of the airbag going off, just so I can be sure it works

Does this fit/work with a CLS55?

110motoring

Well if you donate one we'll do it!

110motoring

Yes this will work with a cls55

Jrocket

Im still not seeing how this is done.A few from this forum have tried it with no luck,the paddles and buttons did not function properly or at all for that matter?

Finny

That would be 03 and 04 models which are slightly retarded in respect to electronics.

I suppose the question is can 110 convert to the older system on the 03 and 04's?

What are you not understanding ?? Photos were posted of the install, a video and the difference between doing this to an older vs a new car have also been discussed. Newer cars simply use the same airbag. For an older car you have to get a new airbag - seems simple to me as I watched them do it. I can vouch for 110 Motoring, they do excellent work and their attention to detail is top notch. The guys there are very helpful and knowledgable and no bull*****.

i think you're not understanding that many of us still need to know if this works for '03 and '04 models since no one has done it easily...apparently not even 110.
