Excelent video. Helped me swap the leather SW with the mahony model to match the mahony inserts. The black cover on the back of your SW is meant to be removed in order to mount the standard black navigation joystick switch,with buttons. Unfortunately on my Mahon SW its revision is 2 years older than my car, not compatible, so I needed to cancel it and swap the switches with the ones from the original steering wheel. Also for the 2012 model the airbag comes with a mounted horn assembly, so they come out all together.
I am from Brazil and here is so expensive to be a volvo owner, it is so expensive to fix my car here, and just some people know how to work in a volvo. Thanks for yours tutorial so helpfully for me!!!! Thanks
Armed with this video I changed my 2003 XC-90 T6s' airbag in less than 5 min. I was able to use the remote to lock and unlock the XC-90 after putting the neg battery terminal back and only had to reset the clock. Thank you very much!
I used your video to swap out the steering wheel on my 2013 XC60...like you, I found it difficult to locate the spring release...once I finally got it off, the rest was a breeze... Unlike you, the horn on the XC60 is mounted to the airbag so you only have to disconnect the green connector & theres an additional orange connector that needs to be disconnected... I was unable to take out the small screw that folds the sensor in place so i taped it in position without problem...thank you for your informative videos, I’ve learned alot about my Volvo because of you 🤘🏽
Good Evening Omega282, I too have a 2013 XC60 T6 that needs a new steering wheel, I am I have questions about doing such, How can I contact you other than this forum? Please advise. Thanks
Thank you for the comprehensive instructions on how to carry out this changeover. I purchased my wheel (same as yours) for our '09 S80 and fitted it two nights ago - it's a great upgrade! I have the matching sports leather shifter in soft beige coming (ordered it tonight!). Keep up the great work - love the videos :-) Steve (Australia)
You saved me a big bunch of time. I upgraded the wheel and the shifter knob in about 1-½ hours. I did not remove the steering column cowling, nor did I disconnect the Cruise and Audio control button connectors. To reinstall them I put a little Petroleum Jelly on the 6 holes and on the knobs. This is a nice upgrade as I felt the OE was too smooth in my grip.
Excellent video as always! That R-design steering wheel looks really nice! I know for sure that the Sport steering wheel in the XC70 Classic features metal in the bottom. Imo, these steering wheels looks a lot better than the ones in the new XC90, S90, V90 and XC60!
It took me about an hour too, to release the airbag...... could be explained better in the manual..... but then again..... when you succeed it's greater fun this way! :)
I always enjoy watching your videos and I admire your commitment even though I no longer have my Volvo XC70. I got a new XC60 towards the end of last year and funnily enough I appear to have virtually the same steering wheel as your new one except for the R-Design badge at the bottom as my XC60 is an SE Lux. I love Volvo cars and driving my XC60 feels very similar to driving my previous XC70 which is really nice! I particularly like the torque that the D5 engine produces and how effortless motorway driving is.
H Jasper,yes I did do that and have not regretted at all, the XC70 was a lovely car and I had it from new in 2011, but I really do like XC60 IT ROCKS and is a lot quicker and stable in lousy weather 💦🌨☃️
J A S P E R Hi Jasper, if it is l can honestly say I have not noticed it. I am a big chap 6ft & 250 lbs and everything seems to be the same except the infotainment centre which is a 7" one, hope this helps.have a good one Robbie K
Brilliant, got mine on a few weeks ago. First one I've seen in the cream beige colour. I agree that it makes you feel like you've a different car in your hand as the grip is so secure and comfortable. It's worth it, even if the steering wheel is overpriced! Also, yes the R-Design metallic emblem is metal. I also added the matching sports gear knob which feels superb in tandem with the wheel! Enjoy Uri!!
The dotted leather. It's very comfy, a little larger and overall better feel. What I would like now is the same chronograph cluster you have. For my Volvo S80 SE Lux, it wasn't standard until the 2010 model> I don't care for the LCD one they added in 2013 like the V40, it didn't look as classy IMHO, and a little cheap for a XC70 or S80.
Yuri, you should take the segment from this video where you teach us how to re-train the windows and make a separate video of it, because none of the videos on CZcams do a good job of explaining it SPECIFICALLY for our era of Volvo.
Hi Yuri, that steering wheel looks beautifull how much as i think i eill change mine as well but i have a few more buttons on my car as these control the pointer on my sat nav. Keep the videos coming. Jay. U.K.
Чёрная полоска пластика, о которой вы говорите нужна для того, чтобы отражение белого пластика на солнце не засвечивало приборную панель и показания были читаемы. Volvo всё предусмотрели.
Great video. How come you didn't choose to get the paddle shift wheel as I understand it's a plug-and-play upgrade? I'm looking at changing to paddle shift soon.
I'm very curious about the window reset after disconnecting the battery. What years is this needed, I have a early p2 2003 xc70 that has been giving me issues and I've never heard of this process.
Hello, love your movies :) Could you tell me what is the color code of the beige interior of your xc70? I want to renovate my steering wheel as well as shift knob, but I do not have on my xc70 from 2008 (from US) any label with interior color code. I will be grateful for help.
Hello! I know it's a long time since you made this video but I've got a question: I just ordered a wooden steering wheel for my S80. In the instructions it says at the end: Activate the SRS system as described in "VIDA Vehicle communication, SRS, powering the SRS system" before turning the ignition key. Can this (safely) be skipped as you did in the video? Just like you I'm keeping the original buttons and airbag. Thanks!
Hi volvosweden. Question. I have your old steering wheel on my car. I’m looking to upgrade to the newer 2015 steering wheel the 3 spoke which has a different airbag shape. If I get a used good airbag. Will I have any issues installing another airbag other than the one originally installed in the car. Is it plug and play in that department? Don’t want nothing blowing up lol
@@bosewaverocks and with the cables you mean the cable from the clockspring to the new airbag i think? If i get it right the old cable doesn’t fit at the new airbag
Hi volvosweden, thank you very much for the video. I have a question: you get out the clips while the battery is connected (to stay unlock the steering wheel I guess), and then you disconnect the battery for unplugging the airbag's connections. Is there any risk of airbag to active while you are getting out the clips?
Hi there, thank you for the advice on waiting 10minutes after disconnecting the negative cable before unhooking the airbag connector. Could you please let me know if you had a SRS light on after the steering wheel change? Last time I had low/dead battery, a SRS error was triggered.
I have a Volvo s40.there is hissing sound when the engine is started and on the move.but when you press the brake paddle it disappears. What is the problem ? The brake fluid is normal no leaking.
Your vids are super helpful. I'll start changing parts on my own because of you. Is it pos5 to change the buttons without taking out the airbag? Mine are a bit worn, but if possible I'd prefer to leave the airbag in.
No that isn’t possible, you can see it in the video. The screws of the buttons are on the side, just where the airbag is.

This tutorial is some of the best videos for Volvo repair on the web. Thank you for your commentaries and professional work.
I've just finished fitting this steering wheel to my S80. It all went very well, and as of yet, no problems. This guide is perfect. Thankyou Yuri .

Just ordered mine up! Thanks again for being so honest and suggesting I go this route instead of buying your old one!
+Ausländer Wow. You will not regret it!
Thanks, I drive a C30 and your tutorials helped a few times. The technique used in both cars is quite similar.
Fritz Pohl are there any differences? Looking to change my stock c30 wheel to an r design one for the better feel. The stock one just feels so bland

+mecaniquejp It is a very nice upgrade.
Very good video description careful to details well done this is how all diy car videos should be
You are the best!
This video will save viewer time at your expense.
Thanks for posting this video re & re steering wheel,
I'm from Sweden Love your videos, jag är från Sverige älskar dina videor
So now i understood, this particular Volvo is a Volvo imported from Russia and in America. Pretty cool!
It took me about an hour too, to release the airbag...... could be explained better in the manual..... but then again..... when you succeed it's greater fun this way! :)
As a person from Sweden....I approve this video! :)
Womtek Now it is an official video ;)
I mounted the R-design steering wheel. It looks great ! Thanks for the video.

Great video , love your attention to detail . Wheel looks really good 👍. Thank you 🙏
Ordered mine up today. Can't wait to get it! I already have the r design pedals,so it should match up lovely.
What color? Beige or black?
volvosweden the same part number as your one. Soft beige. I'm so excited.
The RTI plug on mine was black. There is a beige one available. I will let you know the part number. I have it but did not install yet.
volvosweden thankyou very much.
volvosweden do you have the part number yet please friend
I see you leaning back everytime you turn on the car before you remove the airbag :) I'd be scared too. Great videos, helps a lot. Keep it up!
I would say this protective RTI plastic cover matches your black sits! So.. all good ;)
+Grzegorz Well. The seats are dark brown. The camera does not show good. The black cover not a big deal.
Awesome video, replaced mine today by following it. It almost feels like I got a new car :) Спасибо!
💪😎. Nice showing who to pull up once its in
Woow now it looks better, I really like your Volvo.
H Jasper,yes I did do that and have not regretted at all, the XC70 was a lovely car and I had it from new in 2011, but I really do like XC60
IT ROCKS and is a lot quicker and stable in lousy weather 💦🌨☃️
Shady Bad but the cabin and the dash, (sloping) seems so much smaller and narrower with the XC60. Is that true?

Shady Bad Thanks for the honest info, kindly appreciated again. That XC70 is just so manly. But maybe its just me being silly. XC60 is nice ...
This was a very well done video. Great descriptions and a swap I want to try soon. Thanks for making it...

+Glenn McKee Hey Glen. What kind of knob did you install? The dotted leather or the metal one.
The dotted leather. It's very comfy, a little larger and overall better feel. What I would like now is the same chronograph cluster you have. For my Volvo S80 SE Lux, it wasn't standard until the 2010 model> I don't care for the LCD one they added in 2013 like the V40, it didn't look as classy IMHO, and a little cheap for a XC70 or S80.
Glenn McKee u have the prt number for the R shifter? Is there a beige one?

Köszönöm szépen. A kedvenc Volvo videóim csinál. Nagyon sokat tanultam. Csak így tovább
Yes Yuri, the R design logo is metal. I felt it in the wintertime. Then it is really cold.... ;-)
I thought about winter already. I just came back from some shopping and its so great to drive the Volvo with this wheel.
Ewout Schalkwijk i think it is metal. the back end of mine in my s80 has started to flake up a little. makes it very sharp if you come across it.
Hello from California! Like your videos! They are really useful and help me know more about my Volvo! Thank you!
+Young Liu California is number one on the list who watch my channel. Thank you. And hi to you from cold Canada.

I have not yet but I will buy 2005-2008 s40 after that I want a xc90. :) but now, I am a jobless man.. :) :)
+cancakal Good choice. Get the T5 AWD!
Good job!! I have volvo s80 drive 2010,My steering wheel looks impressive better like the model 2006-2008.
Once again a beautifully done video!
Thanks :)
+Darrin Ray Thx!!!
Nice r design steering wheel i love u car.
very interesting procedure, thank you for sharing
No bottles of vodka, was harmed during this video...
Thank you friend for this video. Greetings from Sweden :)
+AntonKG Hi to Sweden!!!!
Great job.
Looking much better!
And feels too! Thx
Great video. How come you didn't choose to get the paddle shift wheel as I understand it's a plug-and-play upgrade? I'm looking at changing to paddle shift soon.
Hi! I did everything exactly like you said, built all together, and now my airbag control lights up and won’t go off..
Any advise??
NEXT add a video how the entire unit should be replaced, fob stuck in does not move out!! Need to push to right side and take it out.
Very nice video, but just can't understand why you would throw that little plastic protection cover out of a car door like that...
Great Job! Thanks for sharing!
I'm very curious about the window reset after disconnecting the battery. What years is this needed, I have a early p2 2003 xc70 that has been giving me issues and I've never heard of this process.
The silver R design trim is plastic with a thin aluminium film over the plastic moulding.
Good detail videos man i think your volvo is heavily loved and will last a long while
diy -> hobby -> Pro installer
Hello, love your movies :) Could you tell me what is the color code of the beige interior of your xc70? I want to renovate my steering wheel as well as shift knob, but I do not have on my xc70 from 2008 (from US) any label with interior color code. I will be grateful for help.
These two are like packistanies from Luton, always doing something with their rickshaw
is it differant for 2011 XC70's? i had a fight with mine today for 2 hours and gave up..
You're awesome!
It's very easy to check if the part at the bottom of the steeringwheel is metal: user a magnet.
Good idea. What if its aluminum?
Hi, my r design s/wheel cost me nothing, as I have recently bought a 2017 R design AWD XC60 to replace my 2015 xc70 and l fucking love it🚓😆😆😆😆
+Shady Bad wow! Congrats!
Shady Bad Did you realy? Terrible looking moms car that XC60! Sorry. Love the XC70
Hey Yuri !
I coloured the protective plastic to biege.
There is a proper color cover from Volvo. Will post a video soon on this subject. Keep an eye.
Oh wow, it's so much easier to do it on a P2 V70/XC70
where I can order this steering wheel ? Does it fit on 2007 S80?
Hello! I know it's a long time since you made this video but I've got a question: I just ordered a wooden steering wheel for my S80. In the instructions it says at the end: Activate the SRS system as described in "VIDA Vehicle

Hi bisewaferocks, did you already do this upgrade? I have the same idea but don’t know if this is possible without changing the clockspring
@@sanderjordans172 I did. The only thing you have to change is the airbag part and the cables clock spring can stay the same
@@bosewaverocks thanks for your reaction👍🏻 And the horn is at the back of the airbag now i think?
@@bosewaverocks and with the cables you mean the cable from the clockspring to the new airbag i think? If i get it right the old cable doesn’t fit at the new airbag
Could you also change the inside with aluminum inlay?
Great video thanks
Excellent videos. Would you know if a new steering wheel with paddle shifters would work on a 2014 P3? Thanks
Where are you located
Do you do mechanical work on Volvo’s for customers?
Hi volvosweden, thank you very much for the video. I have a question: you get out the clips while the battery is connected (to stay unlock the steering wheel I guess), and then you disconnect the battery for unplugging the airbag's connections. Is there any risk of airbag to active while you are getting out the clips?
Great video. Where did you get the torque setting from please? I'm about to do the same on a 2015 V70. Thanks
what size bolt is in center? not sure you said?
good job
Hi there, thank you for the advice on waiting 10minutes after disconnecting the negative cable before unhooking the airbag connector. Could you please let me know if you had a SRS light on after the steering wheel change? Last time I had low/dead battery, a SRS error was triggered.
Is it possible to replace the buttons on he steering wheel? Doe you have part numbers? (Charcoal, cruise control is adaptive).
can i replace cd player of v70 2011 to anew disign
Hi there, was there a need to reset the airbag using special tool/software?
Hello. What can I do if the steering functions do not work after the exchange ?? I did not disconnect the battery ... I forgot
Nicely done. Can you share the site you ordered your steering wheel
Magnifique
Gorgeous
I have a Volvo s40.there is hissing sound when the engine is started and on the move.but when you press the brake paddle it disappears. What is the problem ? The brake fluid is normal no leaking.
Leaking brake booster most likely.
@@volvosweden thank you. What's the brake booster.
very nice!
What was wrong with a simple Torx screw connecion Volvo engineers?

+Cosmin Cretu Not yet. But I am not replacing the whole shifter to the new style. Just the knob.
I'm beginning to think that it's not a straight swap. Thank you for replying.
excellent !
You still have the old steering????
Nicr car and great job
Riktigt snyggt hade velat göra detta på en v50 med r-design. Funkar de liknande till en v50 som en v70?
