steering wheel screen

i want to put a tv screen in my steering wheel so i can play a little Playstation with out leaning over to see the screen in the dash

i was just wondering if it could be done

[hussoles]

dangerous as hell and most likely illegal in most states not sure through
to achieve this you would have to have a non srs steering wheel for sure but im sure theres no diy's for this mod,

[zmanwit90accord]

something like this you mean? i can ask my uncle because he's done it on most of his cars. i assume you're going to have to make a custom wheel to house the monitor and do a lot of wiring to whatever head unit you have.

Everything is possible, as long as you got the money for it. Pretty sure you'll have to find a way to mount the TV, find someone capable of doing the wiring, and so on.

Then you won't have a horn anymore. No airbags. Nada.



Were you watchin' The Fast and The Furious and got this idea ? I remember the Asian guy in the Integra with that, playing Gran Turismo. Haha.

I can talk to my brother, he did it in his ex's Civic show car, didn't have to do a lot of modifying. Just took out her airbag and made a piece that fit in the spot where the air bag was. It was made so she could retain the air bag, once the show was over and it was time to drive the car home, she'd put her airbag back in.

The Fast and The Furious will change your life

It will also get you made fun of in the serious tuner circles. Those movies did more damage to the REAL import scene than anything else.

I've seen it done by people fiber glassing there steering wheels. Its work intensive, but you could be the first on this site.

I too have seen it where they take out the airbag and make a template that fits right in there. That would be the easy part. The hard part would be running the signal to it so that you can still fully turn the wheel.

It can be done, but will take a little bit of discovery on your part.

1) you need to disable the srs air bag by locating the srs module/brain and
unplug it. *** Make sure your battery is disconnected before unplugging or
removing

2) Remove Steering Wheel

3) Remove the airbag cover from the steering wheel

4) Remove airbag from the inside of the steering wheel

5) Now you will need to build a frame to hold the screen (you will mount this
in the steering wheel where the airbag was before replacing the airbag
cover)

6) use the screen to make a template to mark out you cut on the airbag
cover (cut just a hair smaller than the frame of the screen, to make sure
opening is not to big and gives a flush look without upholstery or
fiberglass) *** for the cleanest look, dont cut out the square, just cut an
"X" from corner to corner and fold back behind. This way you can hide the
cut in the cover and dont have to worry about the cut being straight.

7) Now you need to find the route you want to use to tuck your power wires
as well as you a/v cable

8) Now you will connect the wires to the back of the screen and install it into
the frame you built making sure the screen is secure

9) if the placement of the frame/screen is the same as the cut out in the
airbag cover, you can put it all back together


Now you should have you tv mounted in your oem steering wheel, while keeping the oem look

^^^Great start, only instead of trying to route power, ground, and av...

Take a look at the clockspring. I threw my airbag in the trash, otherwise I'd look at mine... Anyway, if there are at least three wires you can use your clock spring to handle power and av. You would ground the screen to the steering wheel, just like the horn buttons are. Then use one of the wires in the clockspring to deliver 12v, and use the other two for your video. It can be done this way as long as you have enough wires in the clockspring harness to do it.

Hope this gives you some help!
