Default Air Bag question...

If I put aftermarket steering wheel on my S2K, will the passenger side airbag still work?

Well there's one way to find out...

How fast to you have to hit something to set off the airbag, anyway?

Hmm, it's probably in the owners manual (to lazy to look also) but I think usually you have to be in an impact over 25mph. I'd imagine that it would still work if you are able to trick the ECU into thinking that the original driver's airbag is still there. Otherwise you would get an error code for the missing airbag.

I don't see any reason it would mess with the other bag.
When I put mine on, I had to put a resistor in place of the bag to keep the light from coming on, but that shouldn't affect the pax side at all.
