[s-cars] Compartment under the steering wheel (part number?)

Tue Mar 30 14:44:45 EST 2004

Not ALL euro cars had airbags, whereas all American models did.  Euro
steering wheels ARE different.  For example, this 1992 S4 wheel
(non-airbag) that I just picked up.

The original picture that was posted of the shelf was from an S6 and it
did appear to have an airbag, but I just wonder why the shelf
disappeared from the 80/90/CQ when the airbag appeared.

Could it be a North American safety issue thingy... ala bigger bumpers,
etc... It should be a direct fit because the Euro cars have air bags, at
least I think they do, and the Euro steering wheels are no different
that North American versions. 

This looks plug and play to me... and it looks damn useful to boot !

I know this shelf was removed from 80's, 90's and CQ's when they
introduced the airbag in to the model.  It could be a coincidence or
there could be a reason that the shelf needed to come out when the
airbag went in.  Having removed the panel on my S4 I can't see why the
shelf wouldn't fit, but maybe investigate a little further.  I
personally love having the shelf in my 90.  It's the perfect place for a
double high CD wallet and an electric razor.  ;)
