Thank you.

So I have to add one more terminal since the airbag connector only have 5 cables? That additional terminal goes to the plate right? Do I need to swap any polarity?
yes it goes to the plate and no change in polarity

I guess so, it is just a contact switch for the horn, polarity not important.

So I went to buy the new plate (The one on the right is Post Sep-05). About 30 USD.


It is in! New plate and additional ground cable for the horn.


Initially the Active Steering error came out. I drove the car, make some turns. Restart engine and it is fine.

Thanks guys for helping out!!!
