How do you keep cruise control with aftermarket steering wheel???
 

i am looking at a steering wheel but some people are saying that they are keeping their cruise control. how are they doing this???

Cruise control is on a stalk, not the wheel at all so I fail to understand why anyone would lose that ability to begin with?

i thought that if i changed my steering wheel with a hub and spacer you would loose the cruise control capability

I kept mine. One guy made a bracket and bolted it to his steering wheel hub. I traced the wires through the clockspring, did some soldering to the circuit chip, and made switches on my dash.

If I got to do all this I might just forget about cruise control.

PICS!!!

I'll snap one for ya in the morning!

The stalk is attached to the steering wheel...look at your steering wheel of your car man! You will have to do custom work to able to have cruise control if you take off the stock steering wheel. Putting the stalk on the steering wheel is a dumb design feature...

Who needs cruise control, it's for lazy people. I driven on 1200 miles trips 1 way and never use cruise control.

Yea but is there anything you can show me on how to keep it

I honestly think I'm just going to forget about cruise control.

This, did it with my civic last summer.
Here's my civics set up for ref.

The red and black buttens on the plastic colum are my Cruise control.
Same concept for the FRS. Just trace some wires and run them to buttens or retro fit the factory cruise control stock onto a DIY bracket.

You're right lol cars been parked since Halloween so foot in mouth. Guess I'm not concerned I actually like feel of stock wheel.

The guy who lives with injured leg from being deployed damn well appreciates it.

on my 350z i put mine in the headliner.

i need it to switch adjust my ecutek launch control on the fly, and to switch between maps ;)

I am going to need it for maps when I get my turbo. I think I will only run one map but if there is big differences between them I want it

Stock wheel is good, but not as good as this one:

See post #81

Are you running a roll bar and 4/5 point belts? If not, why in the hell would you remove the airbag? Do you like the taste of steering wheel in an accident?

lol at the safety police.

It's called taste. Like it or not, people are going to do what they want. Get over it.

Removing safety equipment is taste? How many insurance companies will insure a car that has had safety equipment removed?

How many insurance companies insure cars that don't have airbags? All of them. My dad drove an 85 Caddy without any airbags and was in a few accidents back in the day with no issues. Of course that car was a tank. I think airbags have profitable schemes associated with them. It's not always about your safety.

There's a big difference from an insurance perspective between a car that didn't come with an airbag and a brand new one that you removed an airbag from.

If you don't believe me, call a random insurance company and ask them if they'll insure a brand new car that you removed the airbag from and see what they say.

How do you keep cruise control with aftermarket steering wheel???
 

While I agree with you in concept, I believe people who disagree with a bag coming at them at 200mph have had exceptions made to disable their airbag. For awhile, there were even cars that you could manually disable the passenger airbag on (right from the dash). Of course, in the end, you may be right. :)

Thats for child seat on the passengers side not the driver

Driven plenty of vehicles without airbags in them... but why you would remove them is beyond me. Do you really think the steering wheel looks that much cooler? or are you getting some kind of gain out of it besides looks?

I just finished putting in my Nardi 350mm deep corn on an extended hub. This places the steering wheel noticeably closer to me so my arms are more bent and I get more leverage.

Also, I like to grab a thinner wheel. For some reason in my mind I know where my hands are located better.

One last bit, if you get "panic hands" your less likely to beep the horn or turn on your turn signals/wipers :D

If an airbag is being deployed at 200 mph and your face is hurling forward, you're practically dead...

The airbag is FULLY deployed before you smash into it. No joke, they do save lives.

you need to educate yourself

I never said that the airbag doesn't deploy. You need to educate yourself in force = mass x acceleration. And I said, keyword, "at 200 mph." You think you'll survive that crash?
