Hey guys and gals,
If some of you were fortunate enough to come across a good deal on a JDM EP3 / DC5 steering wheel, follow these instructions and you should be able to retain the cruise control buttons and the dual stage airbags.
***perform this DIY at your own risk***
***power down SRS prior to servicing***
Step 1
- Power down SRS
- Disconnect battery negative and let stand for more than 3 minutes
Step 2
- Remove OEM steering wheel

Step 5:
- Transfer the dual stage USDM detonator onto the JDM airbag
Step 6 onwards:
- Install is reversal of these steps
Voila!
I didn't get any SRS light and my cruise control still works properly.
Stay tuned for a DIY in this thread on the cruise control switch transfer.
