I've fitted a FBMFSW from a 2014 S-Line A5 into my A3 8P2. Everything works spot on, all i did was swap the yellow connector from the old airbag to the new airbag, Ensuring that i cross referenced the pin locations from the original airbag to the new one. If you know what your doing then its quite straight forward, However you have to be careful to ensure you put the pins back in the correct places else you could end up with an airbag in your face
Didn't take any wiring off the airbag just swapped the big yellow connector. Cross referencing the locations of the pins from the old air bag to the new one.
You need to trace back the wiring on the shield airbag and write down where each wire is connecting to on the actual airbag and then do the same to the round airbag. Sorry if I'm not making much sense pretty useless at explaining!
No you're making perfect sense i don't mind wiring but messing with air bags i don't like lol
I was going to put the shield loom in the round one but the spades are different sizes (no biggy) but using a circuit tester i was getting a circuit when the other bag wasn't. TBH i'd just rather by a cable lol Someone said the 8J0971589H is the right one
Something weird just happened, was driving and i could see a name and phone number where the radio/cd track info goes, my phone was connected via bluetooth but wasn't making a call or anything :/
is it possible to modify tt mk2 old loom 8JO 971 589 B to fit?, by the looks of it am i right in saying the pin layout only needs to be changed for the horn (yellow and brown) to fit 8p a3
