I have a honda leather wrap on my stock 5th gen wheel which is very nice, but I just like the overall shape and style of the 6th gen wheels.

The 97 CL has the same wheel as my car... so that would be pointless... and the 98-99 wheel is the same as the 6th accords... so im guessing the wirring is the same as the 6th gen accords as well.

Thanks for the instructions!!
well heres my input.

I know for a fact that if you put an s2k wheel on your 94, the airbag will no longer function due to the updated wiring, plugs, etc.. and i dont think theres a way to change that. And since in 96, Honda used the updated aribag wiring on the accord, the Sk2 wheel now fit with an operable air bag on the 96+ Accords. So that would probably mean the 96 Accord has the same airbag wiring for the 6th gen Accords, unless it was once again changed. So this would mean any Airbag/steering wheel u get from a 96+ Honda, the airbag will not function. But other than that, the S2k wheel will bolt on your 94 fine. And also note that modyfying the airbag system in any car is illegal. just something to think about.

Im not sure if the 6th gen wheel even bolts on the 5th gen's since ive never heard of anyone swapping it, or anyone swapping an S2k wheel on the 6th gen wheel. Because if an S2k wheel bolts on the 6th gen, that means the 6th gen wheel will bolt on your 94.

Also, as far as i know... the Audio controls are infared on the wheel meaning no wiring, but you need to get a 6th deck to make it operable. And if u have an aftermarket deck and plan on keeping it, ive heard horror stories of people trying to get it to work with it... involves wiring a converter or something so the radio recognizes a different signal... very difficult i think. Especially since its not that hard to just reach over to the actual radio to adjust volume etc....

just my $.02
