I was just wondering if an 01 maxima steering wheel will fit on my 00. And if so will the plugs hook right into each other? Also wondering how you would be able to swap them.


Thank you
TJ

 

Yes it all should connect. What are you up to?

I think you need a steering wheel puller, the fsm should tell you how to remove it.

 

Alright thanks man. Im doing good you, we got a 01 at work that I'm snagging all sorts of parts off of it for mine.

 

is there a difference between the 00-01 steering wheels?

one last thing that should be said...disconnect the negative battery side when messing with the airbags. also, start the car from the passenger side when your done so you don't get punched in the face

 

Crap I forgot about the airbags. LOL but ya there's a a big difference. I tried looking on the fsm for the steering wheel removal and couldn't find anything.

Thats a picture of what the steering wheel looks like

 

ah that looks like an 02-03...cause the 01s still look like the 00s FYI

Yeah i just tried to get an FSM for ya....and they've all been pulled because some ******* on this forum works for NNA and sent them all a DMCA.

Oh wait you have it already LOL...well its in there somewhere, I forget what part.

 

drunkie what up dude those brakes look ill i want a set
i know your supposed to disconnect the battery and take out the srs fuse too on impalas do you have to do that on maxs too?

 

you should do that anytime your messing with airbags. the last thing you want is that thing going off, it hurts.

 

Ya I know that its a 02-03 steering wheel, but its in an 01 for some reason. I havn't checked to see if it works but I like the look and feel of it better then my 00.

 

There is a difference between the 00-01 steering wheels. The 01 has the steering wheel-mounted audio controls like the 02-03, but no trip button for the trip computer. IMO, I think it looks a lot better than the 00 wheel.

 

So do I the only problem is trying to get the wheel off so I can swap them. I cant find how to remove and install the steering wheel.

 

Spiral cable might be different to accomodate for the audio control wires. You would need too check the FSM for the connectors.

 

Do you guys even think it would be worth it? I mean its free but I would have to swap it with mine.

 

If I had on 00, I'd definitely try to upgrade to an 01 steering wheel just for the audio buttons. I run a PAC SWI-X and I have audio controls on my aftermarket head unit.

You're just taking a risk since you will need to get the airbag with it. Hopefully it is the same from 00-01, just different appearance.

 

If your not a big audio guy, I wouldnt waste my time trying it. The only advantage is the steering wheel control. If you have the time and you have another means of transportation, I would try it

 

Ya I mean I have a full system on my car I remember when I put the HU in it had a wire for the steering wheel controls and stuff so I'm still contemplating doing it.

 

dont do it.. unless the airbag plug is the same I woudnt play with it

 

I'm probably not going to because I figured out how to take the wheel off and its going to be a big pain so, I'm just forgetting about it.

 

i pulled off a couple of steering wheels by just takign out the air bag and the main bolt behind the air bag then just yank it off. comes off with no harm done.

 

So to clear up this up, will the 01 steering wheel fit on the 00? Are there wires to connect the steering wheel controls or is there a lot of work that needs to be done? Just need a conclusive answer cuz i would like to do this to my 00

 

Do it only if the plug for the airbag is the same.... I wouldn't play with it if they weren't the same..... imagine yourself driving and POOOOFFFF ... my .02
