I love this thread. I just bought rx8 seats and I want the steering wheel to match and you made what I though would be an impossible job, very simple and creative. I dont drive my fd often and I would not mind disabling my airbag to get the radio controls to work. Good work mate.

You need three wires.one 12v one ground and one signal.to make the signal work with the fd cruise control unit you must replace the resistors inside the rx-8 crise buttons electronic board with the fd resistors.I dont remember the resistor values but you can measure them with an ohmeter,or you can take it to someone who is good with electronics,and he will do it in no time.

I tried to wire up a '99 JDM steering wheel and I can't even get the horn to work.
I think I might eventually just do the RX-8 steering wheel because I would really love to have the volume buttons on the steering wheel. lol
After driving around my other newer cars that have volume buttons on the steering wheels, I kind of like having those modern conveniences... lol

The airbag is just there for aesthetics. I believe the RX-8 has a dual stage airbag and would be difficult to wire up correctly with the FD's single stage airbag system.

how did you get the buzzer and light to go off by bypassing the airbag.. i dont care about the airbag or buttons (i will get a European wheel) will it bolt up and steer the car? is my question..
