After opening up the airbag, the old four spokes multifunction steering is having total of 6 cables connecting from left to right. as shown below:<a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/442/dsc1360m.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/3392/dsc1360m.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/35/dsc1361p.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5373/dsc1361p.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>However, (im sorry that i forgot to take the newer M Tech steering photo as i already fitted the steering onto my car but without multifunction functioning) the cable on the new steering has only 4. The slip ring on the new steering & old steering were same design but amount of cables are different. I took the old slip ring & put it on the new steering, trying to connect the socket into the new steering, but the multifunction cannot function at all.Any sifus out there has met this problem before or any suggestion or page that i can view to solve the wiring issues!?Thanks a million!!!</blockquote>
