Guys,

Please help.

I have a '04 E60.

This is my current steering wheel and airbag.



Now that I about bought this two items but they do not fit, at places that used to be flat, now the airbag has 'step', which is blocking me from mounting the airbag.


Even the software is Version 7.2, newer than the 5.0 found on my original module


Can I just buy a new mounting plate and just connect everything together?

I also don't see any separate ground cable that other guy described in another post.

Generally you should look before you leap! Check my posts and anazin(sp?)'s. You definitely need a new plate which will have the tab where you attach the ground wire. You need to do some wire rearranging also. Do a search and im me if you have any additional q's.
Good Luck,
will
