SPARCO WHEEL, WILL IT THROW AN AIRBAG CODE?

[Vettel-ish]

Now that the car is done for the year I want to install some parts for next season.

Sparco 2005-2024 Mustang Steering Wheel Hub Adapter

Sparco Competition Series Flat Bottom Steering Wheel

Do I need to do anything here or just take the wheel off and install this one. Will the car just allow no airbag anymore?

Thank you!

Yes, it will throw the airbag light.

It also may impact the passenger airbag, to the point where the airbags won't even go off. Others will have to confirm this though.

If you are still running 3pt harnesses, stock seats and drive the car on the street often, I wouldn't recommend anything but a stock wheel. You are literally guaranteed to have a horrible injury if you crash the car.

Takes 2 resistors on the main connector that clips into the clock spring - this thread helped me greatly when I converted;

This mod like the ABS module completly disables Advance Track

Is that true?

Hey Vettel-ish,
I followed much of the thread as posted above and I did some extra wiring by rewiring most of what went through the clock spring. I wanted to control the center display in the dash so I kept the controller from the right side of the wheel and relocated on the lower dash. As for any pesky lights I didn't want to see I made some vinyl dots to hide the lights from my line of sight. I also removed the airbag from the passenger side and it opened up a good location for the Xineering blip control module.

Very nice. I also opted to keep the controller for the center console, just mounted in the side of the column so that I can reach when I’m strapped in.

Wow really nice. Great idea on the black stickers and removing the passenger bag for the blip control. Love that.
