i found in one photo on steering wheel for sale, there are one 2 pin connector and one 1 pin connector, i hope : Heater element had connection via 1 pin and earth and temp sensor is via 2 pins.
i have only heater elenet from e65, not wheel...

i think it must have minimum of 3 wires because NEG, POS, Sensor ,Sensor.

FYI, its very easy to put down airbag.... just put flat acrewdriver with steering wheet straight in to a small hole towardr direct up direction.

Hi everybody, after years of fun I am parting with my faithful 525i. Hence, I will be taking out all the mods that were done to the car. I have the full SAT kit including shifter+steering, also as the steering is heated I have the switch+coil spring+switch unit steering column for sell. PM me if anybody is interested.
