Well, I received the wheel ... what a beautiful thing , lol... BTW, I bought from 77i9 which is in Japan . He offered to get it for me for less money than the original sellers , so I accepted .
Anyway, now I am installing this thing and everything was ok until I got to the e-shift buttons , which I don`t see how to disassemble without breaking them , so I am stuck . I cannot proceed with the disassembling until I solve this .
I will wait until somebody here give me a clue on how to do this , so please, I need some help here asap .
I have everything spread here out on the dining table , and stuck with this e-shift buttons problem .
How can I take them apart ? I need to slide the cables out and re-route them into the new steering wheel . Thanks

 

Anybody that can share light into this ?

 

Not sure buddy, I'm sure it's been done though, that's why I went for the non controls on my WoodGrain, I don't use them anyway...

 

I can always have the extreme option of cut and weld the cables , but I really do not want to do that .
But because I cannot have all of this on the table forever , if I cannot find a solution in a little while , I would have to do that .
I noticed that the cables are welded tp a small metal tongue that is inserted on the button`s middle . If I cut take that metal tongue out , that will be great, but I am afraid to use force and break the damn thing .

 

Cut and solder them or take out the pins on the connector

 

You mean , on the big white connector OR pull out the welded tongue connection on the buttons ?

 

Well, I cut the cables . Not big deal, just I didn`t want to do it , but I think it was the best option for me .
Went to Home depot and got some of the heat wrap tubing and that is perfect for it .
So, back in business again .

 

Done . Had to cut and solder the e-shift cables but it came out great . No big deal , I just didn`t want to do the cutting.
Anyway, here it is
Before and after :

 

Holy moly that looks great

 

Yeap , and the wood match is incredible ... I am very pleased .
Also my single stage airbag fits like a globe .

 

Looks awesome bro!

 

You should ask the mods to merge this with your original thread. It only makes sense for future searchers so they can see the wheel in that thread. As I said in that thread, the match was close to perfect. CL has tons of threads.

 

I installed a rx wheel on my car. Got rid of eshift since I never used it

 

I have used the e-shift occasionally ,and since I have it , I wanted to function .
What I did was to cut the cables and inserted 1 inch of heat wrap tubing about the size of the cables and after I soldered each cable , very carefully , individually, heated the tube wrap to perfectly insulate the connection . It really came out professional , so , I am satisfied and it was way better than screwing around with the buttons .

 

ahhh. so much better man. i dont use my e-shift often, but when i do, shes movin
