sorry, I had a shop install mine…

fyi— you’d also need to add heat option if you don’t that’s the only error code you’ll get. Mine has heater option so that’s not an issue
Ended up placing an order for one today. Going to try and find some videos to do the install myself. He said between 35-40 days till delivery so now we wait 🙏🏽

you can tell by the centre trim, the flat bottom ones are much shorter.

which is why the wheels have the hands on detection sensors and modules.

The real flat bottom units dont have the function. Except the rs6 units
the wheel feels much smaller than factory also maybe because of the thickness..

from what I can see too, the module he used isn’t OEM… looks different than the one on my factory wheel. But all that matters is it works lol

Default Apprehension gone !

Finally got my flat bottom steering wheel from AskCarbon. We( my indy guy and I) did the install yesterday, and I'm pleased to say that everything works even the heating option that I requested. I was full of apprehension going into this project but everything worked out. If you elect to have the leather air bag cover be prepared to dismantle the air bag assembly, especially the "bomb" part lol. Took us about an hour to install. Mine was perforated leather all around and leather air bag also with the heated function ( my S5 came with a heated SW) and cost less than $1500.
