This question seems to have more to do with mobile video than with any specific model..

Is that even legal? Dont these ppl know how dangerous a steering wheel alone is during a crash? Much less one with metal shards that can crack and fly are your face during a crash? There are way better places to put a screen than the steering wheel! I just dont get some people... But yea, if u buy the car, Id swap it for the OEM ASAP... Since it would be steering wheel with an air bag in it, its probably gonna be expensive, and youll probably have to have it professionally installed so it dosnt go off accidentally... I personally would just get a non SRS model from a ITR... They are also expensive, but I dont like air bags pointed at my face either, so thats why I would go that route...

WCC got sued for putting a video screen in a steering wheel. The airbag is the expensive part, but they can save your life, so go find a junkyard and grab one that has not been deployed, and then get another wheel - problem solved.
Just remember to disconnect the battery (negative side) before working on or around your airbags - you don't want them to go poof when you are wrenching!
