The Carbon Fiber indulgence continues on my Audi RS3 as I install a gorgeous Carbon Fiber LED steering wheel from the guys at Weaponized Carbon. The quality is absolutely insane and the install is pretty straight forward.
Follow me as I run through the ins and outs of switching out the factory steering wheel for this new piece of art. I also chuck on some new carbon fiber interior trims to tie it all together.

This steering wheel 🤤 shut up and take my money!

@intikhabmobarak6421 2 года назад

Awesome video, well done and very detailed unlike most that just skip through everything and show you a finished product.

@gandules06 2 года назад

Great tutorial as usual, A+ video. Keep them coming. 🔥🔥

@MM-cr7dq 2 года назад

Great video, very nice job, like the pixelation :0) . Such a cool steering wheel. Maybe a subtle LED grill logo would round out the full LED theme

Wow I love the new carbon fiber steering wheel it makes the car looks so much more aggressive!!!

Great video and music Alex! You have so much patience with those fiddly things, but I agree that the end result is very flash!

@MystiCoin 8 месяцев назад

I followed your instructions to connect the wires, but the LED light isn't working. Why could this be? Where might the problem lie?

@frax77 8 месяцев назад

Have you paired the steering wheel to the module? I think you need to hold down both buttons or something like that. Anything in the instructions?

@Remi_25 Год назад

This is a great video and very informative and helpful keep it up mate 🫡

@mohibsiddiqui8273 2 года назад

The boost gauge portion is probably off by some degree, the stock map sensor is only capable of measuring up to ~22psi of boost. Unitronic stage 2 files have been known to hit almost 25psi of boost in some cases, for a more reliable reading you really need a manual boost tap and sensor/gauge ill probably be ordering my steering wheel without the led on top

@ap7977 2 года назад

Why not get both lol

@mohibsiddiqui8273 2 года назад

@@ap7977 cause it would drive me crazy if I saw two different readings for the boost which didn't match up. All the additions I've done on my rs3 have been OEM+ mods so I don't want it to stick out too much compared to the rest of the interior, if I wanted it to be straight race car I'd buy one of those pillar gauge mounts and send it 🤣

@ap7977 2 года назад

@@mohibsiddiqui8273 this is OEM tho..my mate has one and it just looks too good for me to care about the reading being slightly off😂 I mean even if you get the mounted ones you still won’t get a perfect reading right..

@mohibsiddiqui8273 2 года назад

@@ap7977 for accurate boost readings you need a manual boost tap, which is a reference you plug into a boost gauge which will give you the actual boost pressure. The one on the led uses the map sensor to calculate boost pressure but the sensor is only designed to read up to 21.9psi, if the map sensors are upgraded its possible that they should show the correct boost level

@JoséSilva-k7c 24 дня назад

Good morning, where did you get the 12V to power the LEDs? compliments

@frax77 23 дня назад

Check the video at 12:01....it's spliced into the 12V output from the steering wheel centre.. This is the way the company suggested it but make sure your battery has been disconnected before doing anything around airbag wiring. To be clear, do not touch the wiring that goes to the yellow plug....this is airbag only.

@alanhasbiro9575 2 года назад

can you turn off the lights if you want and just have a normal steering wheel?

@frax77 2 года назад

Yes you can but I think that would mean the display would be off as well. Alternatively change the rpm settings so that just the shift lights dont come on. I.e. set low rpm to something like 7000rpm, so it never starts lighting up.

If you mean the tachometer on the digital dash, this was done as part of the Stage 1 tune.... I'm not sure how you would be able to change that without some sort of coding.

Still looks like the day I fitted it. Carbon and alcantara have held up really well.

Hi i got the same steering wheel followed the step by connecting the wires but the lights dont come on for some reason does the airbag need to go in to get the connection? Because ive left the airbag out just incase i need to take it out again

@frax77 2 года назад

The airbag should run off its own circuit so shouldnt be necessary. Have you paired the steering wheel with the control unit? I think you hold down both buttons. If that doesn't work maybe speak to the supplier. Good luck 👍

@@frax77 brilliant! I managed to do it thank you . Does your led work with indicators? Because i was told they supposed to come on ?

Awesome!! No, our indicator lights wont work on the steering wheel (also, our steering angle won't work) as these signals do not come through our OBD. I was a bit disappointed, but it is car specific so not much we can do about it.
