You need the adapter first and foremost. You will most likely have to find the Airbag fuse and yank that. Maybe even disconnect the battery for peace of mind.
Good luck w/that...take pics!

actually its to prevent these protege haters from gettin in my ride. i checked out the sparco site and the steering wheel is $250, quick release kit w/adaptor $150.
ya i know its a bit much but that **** is worth it!! Better havin my stero ripped off than my whole car.....

through a digital camera. i usually connect the cam to computer, go to a photo shop program, copy and paste the pics onto WORD, save it, the cut past onto the wallpaper (this would be saved on a seperate file) then when your on this sight, go to "Go Advanced" tab instead of "Post Quick Reply".

once there (if you scroll down) click on the tab that says "Manage Attachments"

then open the file you saved the pic on and downlead that file. it usually shows up as a "jpg"

then post your reply and it should be on "attached thumbnails"

Just to let you know..alot of would-be thieves carry around steering wheels when they are looking to do jobs these days. They are starting to shy away from the smash and grab of the old days.

Just be wary of that fact too.
