How to remove these airbag connectors

nyceric03 · 04-07-2020, 03:46 PM

I was trying to swap steering wheels but noticed the airbag connectors on this were different than other YouTube videos. Mine is a 2008 e70 but it appears the airbag is different since they did the airbag recall? Not sure if I just brute force pull them out but the older style looks like it’s a clip

Just unplug the connection at the column and unscrew the ground screw was the easiest I found when I swapped mine. I preferred not to mess with the updated airbag connections.
