and the entire wiring system....both under dash and all sensors required etc.
not a cheap task. Why bother?

hrmm i dont think so... ive been looking at the manual and it looks a bit easier then that... the srs system looks to run separate to the ecu

As you can see it runs straight off the battery, through two under bonnet fuses which i recon would already be in there and then through two under dash fuses...

if im reading this correctly then i should only need the steering wheel and the small loom that goes back to the underbonnet fuse box. correct?

what about the sensors?

legally I can see you needing a nice engineers report to go with it

you're effectively tampering with the safety system, I'd at least give main roads in your area a call first before going into work
