Another Fun Summer Project

Picked up a M sport wheel. Modified the back of the wheel to take the old style slip ring. Spent a couple of hours at a friends shop on the lathe and mill. Modified the slip ring's wiring harness for the newer style of wheel - horn and air bag. Borrowed parts off of the airbag connecting line, P/N 32301097246. Installed and works pretty darn good. Ran SRS diags and no code 4 or AWL. Newer MFL IBUS code caused some issues with stereo. After spending some time sorting out the MFL IBUS boot sequence, all that is required to get the stereo to function properly is to press either the track up or down button. In simple terms this IBUS message answers/cancels the one message that the MFL puts out on boot/power up that affects the non Nav stereo. No issues with any stereo components or any MFL functions. Added bonus, the wheel's Voice Recognition button works.
