A-SPEC Steering Wheel Swap

I wanting to replace my current steering wheel W/ the A-SPEC steering wheel. I found it on eBay, but it doesn't include the Air Bag. My Question is can I use my current Air Bag with the new A-SPEC steering wheel? If so, can I do the swap myself? Or is this a project for the dealer to handle?

Thanks in Advance...

Thanks for the help! Have you done this before? I tried to find a thread with instructions, but I didn't have any luck...

this wheel will only fit the 2004-2006 TL's! As far as instructions, I don't think the PDF that we used to use is available any more, but it should be included with the wheel.

The only difference is the appearance. The particular one I'm looking at does have the carbon fiber trim. Other than the trim, there is no difference....

A-spec still has the 4 posts. I think only the TL-S has the Y shape.

Here is a pic of the A-spec

A-spec is thicker with smooth black leather and then perforated silver leather at the 10/3 positions. As well there is blue stitching!

I think the OP is thinking of the accessory wheel. There was a wood one and then the carbon fiber one. The a-spec is described above.

^ I agree. For those wanting to see the difference between the two, look at this thread- it has pics containing both the carbon fiber steering wheel and the 04-06 ASPEC steering wheel:
