Title: steering wheel audio control back lights...
Post by: MaxV6 on 23 February 2012, 00:14:33
can't recall noticing before, but my steering wheel control back lights  seem to stay on when the car is switched off and locked and deadlocked....


is this normal,  or should they turn off????

Just to contradict, mine go out instantly with ignition off. However, I do have an after market stereo fitted  ;)

why do thay stay on is it because you can still run heating after engine off and turn radio up

There is a time delay relay that operates a whole load of stuff, radio, heating, rear aux socket, and other stuff as well I expect. Allows the "chauffeur" to switch the engine off bit the "posh folk" in the back still have their creature comforts .......  :)

Had a feeling NCDx stereos keep them on much longer, an hour maybe?

Cheers mate

While i'm in there, I may consider cool white LED's. Not normally a fan of the white, but find the warm white/yellow tint a little boring.

Is there a guide to airbag removing?

Disconnect battery, wait for about 15 mins. Airbag is held on by two torx at rear of steering wheel. Just make out the two holes near audio controls in this pic
