also do you know if its possible to use an 04 STi wheel with an 04 WRX clock spring without any modification, basically plug and play? i heard that on the 02, the clockspring is different but have heard that it might be the same now. can someone verify this? thanks

06 STI wheel on 04 WRX w-working cruise control
�

[QUOTE=amukaoen;16459865]Does anyone know if you do a 2005-2006 STi steering wheel swap with the airbag working if you carry over the 04 WRX cruise control as in the tutorial? anyone done this before? thanks.[/QUOTE]
I just installed an 06 STI steering wheel in my 04 WRX sedan. It came with the 06 STI clock spring / roll connector as well (which I used). I never swapped or hack any cruise control arms or wires. I am using the 06 STI CC control arm.
I followed many of the posts on here and other forums. Essentially, this is what I did:
[LIST=1][*]Unhooked the negative terminal on the battery[*]Removed airbag from 04 WRX wheel[*]Unclipped wires and unbolted 04 WRX wheel[*]Left bolt partially on and used the yank-method to remove wheel[*]Removed 04 WRX clock spring (what a pain!)[*]Installed 06 STI clock spring (even bigger pain)[*]Installed 06 STI wheel and reconnected wires[*]Retorqued wheel and attached airbag[*]Reconnect negative terminal to battery[/LIST]
Everything went pretty smooth. The main issue I had was that only two bolt holes on the 06 STI clock spring / roll connector would line up to the 04 WRX turn signal / wiper stalks. Seems to be holding and working fine even though. I get an occasional buzz or rattle from it once in awhile over bumpy roads. Once I figure out how to secure it it should be fine (either that or get 05+ stalks.) And getting the clock spring wires fished through was a challenge.
I am very happy that the cruise control and airbag connectors are the same and are plug-n-play. The difference is that the 06 STI connector has two extra pins to turn the cruise control ON/OFF from the arm. The 04 WRX is missing those since there is a button on the dash to control that function. I tested everything out and it functions the same as the stock WRX cruise control arm does.
Hopefully this is helpful to other looking for this same info...
Good luck!
:)

its REALLY straight forward...
1. look behind the steering wheelat 3 and 9 o'clock, unscrew the torx screws...
2. take out the air bag
3. (with the steering wheel locked) grab a breaker bar and break the bolt loose (its the ONLY bolt you see.)
4. if you have the clock spring, simply undo the screws and screw the new ones in... if not, just align the new steering wheel as best as possible and slide it back in, then bolt it back up, place the airbag in place, and tighten up the torx screws

I just installed an 05+ STi steering wheel into my 02 WRX. was fairly straightforward. the main issues are airbag, horn and cruise control.
Here's some pics so you guys can have an idea what it all looks like in there:

Charges from the side. You can see how the dual stage charge is taller.
[IMG]http://frustmag.com/car_pics_for_web/Steering%20wheel%20comparo/charges_side.jpg[/IMG]
Fitment of 02 WRX charge into STi airbag. Okay, this was my solution. Have no idea if it would work or how properly. I figure, the single charge is enough to inflate enough of the bag in the event of something, right? Yeahhhh. Hopefully I won't ever find out. Knocks on wood.
[IMG]http://frustmag.com/car_pics_for_web/Steering%20wheel%20comparo/Sticharge_fitment.jpg[/IMG]
But it makes wiring a piece of cake as it just plugs right in.
So next issue was the horn. No pictures for this. But currently I have simply stuffed a piece of wire into the horn spade in the plug of the STi wheel and into the plug of the car harness. Its the green wires on both wheel and car. Beep Beep. works fine.
Next will be cruise. i think i'll try the wire stuffing technique with that as well. see if it works. so far haven't had to cut a single wire.
Installed. I love this wheel. The smaller diameter is so much nicer.

Swapping an 05 sti wheel into 02wrx, what wire powers the horn? I swapped over bag charges to keep my wrx harness and wired it in. Also wired for cruise control with 05 controller. Just need to know where to hook up for the horn.
| pezcore | 04-17-2010 04:10 PM |
BUMP for the answer to this. The wire that clips on to the airbag, is that positive or negative?
(diagrams I've seen lead me to believe it's positive, but I don't want to fry something)

The charge swap was for a 2005+ wheel. I should find an old 2002 charge and swap it so that my airbags are legit, just in case. :)
Has anyone figured out a way to get the 05+ cruise control to work in such a way that I can get rid of the switch down on the kick panel?

i compared the charge from the 04 sti and 03 WRX... and they are exactly same build and size... only plug was different.. i felt more comfortable using the charge from the 03 which i know will charge upon impact...
Airbag is pretty direct yes.. but has to be very universal.. as a impact of 30mph.. or 80mph.... the airbag should do its job in both... i feel the charge if different.. will not change much..
i could be wrong... i hope i never find out..!

| wrxtacular | 04-24-2011 11:25 PM |
Can someone please clarify: I have read that the Sti airbag switched to dual stage in 05 or 06. I would like to keep with a single stage since that is what my 04 WRX charge is meant for. I like the look and smaller diameter of the 3 spoke STi (I prefer the all back 05), but don't want to re-wire the airbag (cruise and horn I can re-wire). I'm tempted to just have the Momo re-wrapped just to be sure my airbag still works.
| fastwrx25 | 04-24-2011 11:30 PM |
you can just swap your current 04 airbag charge into the 05+ steering wheel. it fits, and you it plugs straight up. Thats what I did when I installed a 07 sti steering wheel into my bugeye. install is pretty simple.

What about swapping a 2005 STi steering wheel into a 2005 WRX ? Since they changed over the interior, wouldn't the WRX's air bag be dual-stage just like the 2005 STi?

Is there a way to remove the clock spring for aftermarket wheels. Where the the harness tie into the column.
| fourage20 | 02-19-2012 12:16 PM |
I'm bringing an old ass thread back. Lol. I've been trying to research this but can't really get a straight answer. I have a 02 WRX and trying to put in a 05 Sti steering wheel. I have a 04 Sti clock spring with it. Is everything just plug and play? Can I use the 05 Sti cruise control controls? I know to turn on cruise control I still need to use the button on the dash but is there any type of wiring I need to do?
| SneakySh0rty | 12-21-2012 11:15 PM |
Sorry to bring this back from the dead. But out of sheer curiosity, im wondering for those who swapped their steering wheels with different model years. If you were unfortunate enough to get into a car accident, did your swapped steering wheel airbag deploy effectively/properly?

I've done a number of swaps of steering wheels, most recently, I put my 04 F-XT's wheel in my son's 2001 Outback. The wiring harness did not match up but luckily the airbag itself was the same size so I only swapped the steering wheel and used the old airbag. Myself, I won't cut and splice wires. I'm not willing to risk an airbag not deploying in an accident just to have a nicer looking steering wheel. Personal choice is all. The only way to find out if it will actually work or not is after the fact. I have a feeling if there is a fatality and the airbag doesn't go off and they find out it was modified there could be legal ramifications. Just conjecture on my part.

I followed this thread to swap my cruise control switch and it worked awsome, I didn't feel comfortable cutting the wires on the airbag, so I just swapped out the charge. I think that was the easier way to do it! Thanks for the write up. Does anyone know why the 2004 Sti cruise switch has the 2 more wires???
| needasubie10 | 05-22-2013 07:51 PM |
Captain, I just did it as well, swapped charges also. The extra wires in the 04 cruise is the on off switch I do believe. I may be wrong, if so someone will chime in. I just did seats, doorpanels, console, everything but the cluster and rear seat because I have a wagon.

Just finished my wheel swap (along with many other upgrades). I should have done this YEARS ago. Its hard to believe how much a couple less centimeters difference in diameter completely changes the feel of the steering wheel. Thanks to JPM Coachworks for the awesome alcantara wrap job too.
I was fortunate that someone had already changed the wiring in the wheel to allow the 04+ CC stalk to work with the WRX clock spring, but this thread was very helpful for the swap.

I bought and 05 STI wheel with airbag and clock spring. I tried to install it today in my 03 WRX and it was a total failure lol.
The sti clockspring will not fit on the wrx and the wrx clock spring has a different airbag connection. The wrx cruise lever will also not work on the sti wheel.
After reading many forums/posts I think I know how to get this done.
Parts needed:
* STI cruise control lever
If I'm understanding the airbag situation properly, I just need to swap out the charge from my wrx wheel onto the sti one correct?
I don't plan on messing with the cruise enable/disable switch because the WRX already has it as a push button and if I ever decide to sell it, I can just install the WRX one easily.
I'll create a proper DIY once I get to do the work.

I know you can change or adapt the clock spring air bag connector. I did mine, it may unplug or I cut and spliced wires. The cruise I did splice and the wiring is backwards. The 'set' puts cruise in neutral and the 'coast' sets the speed. Took me awhile to figure that out, didn't think if worked at all, initially.
You can swap it successfully. I'm not much of a wiring guy and I figured it out. Oh,yes, just change the airbag charge. That was simple, but make sure your battery is disconnected while messing with it. Or, you could get whopped in the face.
