If you have a question about braids, this reference information will help you find the answer:
Will SAM-201 fit the factory VAZ 2114 steering wheel?
If the steering wheel is standard (37-38 cm), then it will do. If, for example, the steering wheel was changed to 39-40 cm, then size L is needed.
On the front side of the packaging of the SAM-300 braid it is written that it is composite leather, and on the back that it is artificial leather. It turns out that you are deceiving people when you write that the braid is made of composite leather?
There is no deception here. Composite leather does not mean genuine leather. The materials use two types of eco-leather: smooth and textured. Braids SAM-201 and SAM-200 are made from genuine leather:
Tell me, what is the width of the Sam-200 braid?
Approximately 10.3 cm.
I want a SAM-201 braid for Renault Logan 2012. Which of the listed sizes will fit me on the steering wheel? Can you advise what would be better for a leather or eco-leather steering wheel? Will delivery to Sevastopol be possible?
Delivery to Sevastopol is possible. Leather or eco-leather are personal preferences) Both materials are good, eco-leather is stronger, leather has more status. You can determine the size by the diameter of the steering wheel. Braid size M – 38-39 cm.
How is braided without lacing attached?
The braid is simply put on the steering wheel like a cover.

Selection of tires and wheels for the VAZ 2114 car
Using automatic selection of tires and wheels for the VAZ 2114 , you can avoid many problems associated with their compatibility and compliance with the recommendations of automakers. The fact is that tires and rims have a significant impact on most of the basic performance characteristics of a vehicle. In addition, tires and rims in a modern car are one of the active safety elements. That is why their choice should be approached as responsibly as possible, i.e. with knowledge of a number of parameters of these components.
Unfortunately, most car owners prefer not to go into such technical nuances. A fully automatic selection system in this case is perhaps the only way to avoid the wrong choice when purchasing tires and rims. And thanks to the widest range presented in the Mosavtoshina online store, it is very diverse.

Dismantling process
There is electronics inside the steering wheel - the signal of a VAZ 2114 car, so first of all you need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. By turning the front wheelset to the “straight” position, you can begin dismantling:
- The first step is to unscrew the seven screws on the covers located under the steering wheel. Once the fasteners are removed, the lower casing can be detached. The top section should only be removed when the steering column is pointing down;
After this, you need to remove the decorative trim. It has no fastenings, so it can be removed with a flat-head screwdriver. This must be done carefully, as the plastic here is fragile. Under the cover there will be two screws that hold the signal button - this also needs to be removed; Next, you should unscrew the steering wheel fastening nut so that it stays on the shaft, that is, you do not need to completely remove it;
Unscrew the 2 bolts located behind the removed cover and remove the cover and remove the plastic component
When the last fastening is removed, the steering wheel can be knocked down with a sharp blow and removed. In this case, a rubber hammer will help, as it will not damage the surface of the steering wheel.
Important! The steering wheel in the VAZ 2114 sits tightly on the spokes, so with a sharp jerk the parts may be damaged. When the hub is removed from the spokes, you can finish the fastening nut
Installing the steering wheel is done in the reverse order. An important point is the pointer switch ring. When installing, it must be rotated so that the pin can fit into the groove of the ring. If a non-standard product was purchased as a replacement, then the process is the same; the only differences can be in fastening and fixing.

How to choose a braid for the steering wheel: a guide to action
The comfort and safety of driving largely depends on the comfort of the steering wheel. Automakers in the design and manufacture of steering wheels for their cars are guided by simple rules: the steering wheel must be as unified as possible for the average driver and comply with all established standards. But each driver evaluates the comfort of the steering wheel according to his own criteria. Therefore, today steering wheel braids are in great demand, which help to personalize the steering wheel to the needs of each individual driver. We will tell you how to choose a steering wheel braid in this article and will try to briefly and without imposing a personal opinion talk about the main criteria by which you should approach the choice of a braid.

Installation Rules
Installing the steering wheel is a dismantling process in reverse order. If you can handle the removal, then you will be able to install it.
- Installation begins by transferring the mark from the old steering wheel to the new one. Be extremely precise: the correctness of further control of the machine depends on this. The mark on the new part should be exactly in the same place as on the previous one.
- Put the steering wheel back in place. Make sure that the mark on it and on the front panel match the same as in the case of the old part.
- Replace the central nut and tighten it. If it does not fit tightly in the socket head, insert the wire strands between them. When the nut is in place, remove the wires and secure the nut tightly.
- Replace the steering wheel cover and tighten all screws.
- Make sure the steering wheel is straight. If even a slight displacement is observed, the part will have to be reinstalled.
- Replace the battery terminals and test your new steering wheel by driving it away from major roads. At first, its diameter may be unusual, but the ease of driving should remain the same.
if the nut falls out of the socket, use the wire strands
The most difficult thing in the process of replacing the steering wheel on a VAZ 2114 and 2115 is choosing the right parts
Pay attention to the markings on the steering wheel, covers and, if necessary, adapters. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace the steering column switches
But dismantling and installing a new steering wheel itself will not cause you any particular difficulties if you strictly follow all the instructions.
Varieties of materials for steering wheel braids
Today, the Russian markets offer a huge number of steering wheel braids of the most varied designs and quality. There are even handmade braids, so to speak, designer options that do not fall under the general classification. One of the main points in the question of how to choose a braid for the steering wheel is the selection of a suitable material from which the braid is made. Let's look at the most common materials:
- Leather. It is considered the most expensive and durable material. Indeed, leather braiding will last a relatively long time without losing its qualities. However, this material also has disadvantages: the skin becomes quite cold in winter. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will be able to drive a car comfortably without preheating the interior or using gloves.
- Leatherette, leatherette or other inexpensive material. Here, a lot depends on the quality of the braid, the reliability of the firmware and gluing, as well as additional reinforcing and decorative inserts. Often leatherette braids last no more than two years of active use of the car. After this period, their appearance and structure are irretrievably lost.
- Fabric or plush. This material plays more of a decorative role than a practical one. The main advantage is a comfortable ride in cold weather. Fabric-based materials keep your hands warm in winter. The main disadvantage is rapid contamination and loss of attractive appearance. Not suitable for aggressive or sporty riding.
- Rubber material with foam or leather inserts. An interesting layout that many drivers love. It is distinguished by the pliability of foam rubber, which takes the shape of hands, and elasticity. This is noted by many drivers as a very convenient feature.
Each of these materials is created for its target audience and has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is impossible to say unequivocally that one material is better and the other is worse. It all depends on the properties and durability required by the end user.
Kinds
What is the clearance and ground clearance for the VAZ-2114
Not only the method of its fastening, but also further care and duration of operation depends on which steering wheel upholstery is preferred.
Leather braids
One of the most common materials for steering wheel covers is genuine leather, which is characterized by practicality in processing and durability. The material can be either regular or perforated. The holes on the case additionally decorate the product and add volume. In addition, the skin allows you to visually smooth out unevenness, if any. Since products made from such material are characterized by high performance, leather is considered the most convenient for the accessory in question. The material is easy to care for and hygienic compared to other types of braids. The leather-covered steering wheel can be easily wiped with antiseptic agents before driving. Such treatment will not cause any harm to the material, and will protect the driver from possible problems.
The high price tag for leather braiding may scare you off at first, but it would not be entirely correct to save on such an important element of the car’s interior. The cost is justified by the long service life and pleasure while traveling
One of the most common and practical materials for finishing the steering wheel is leather.
Made from eco-leather
Along with leather products, eco-leather covers are no less popular. Such braids are made on the basis of rubber. The material is called “breathable” artificial leather, where polyurethane is used instead of PVC. The undoubted advantage of such covers is the absence of toxic emissions. In appearance and tactile sensations, an eco-leather accessory leaves only a more positive impression. The use of rubber as a base gives such braids another advantage - ease of installation. Plus, the price is more affordable compared to leather cases.
Eco-leather as a material for braiding gives the accessory hypoallergenic and pleasant tactile properties, as well as an affordable price
Fur
Fur covers can attract attention only at first, but after a few days the material will show all its negative sides, which boil down to low practicality and soiling. The fur braid quickly wrinkles, the pile gets dirty, which worsens the aesthetic appearance, and this is especially true for light colors
Dirt and dust accumulate between the pile, which negatively affects hygiene. In addition, in the hot season, hands sweat, which leads to the steering wheel slipping when steering and reducing the level of safety when driving a car.
Fur braiding, apart from being attractive in the first few days, has no other advantages, since dust and dirt accumulate in the material, which negatively affect hygiene.
Wicker covers
There were times when domestic cars had braided wire braids. Such cases were endowed with high strength, because the plastic insulation of the wire was very rarely worn out. If we compare braided braids with natural leather, they are less attractive and have a low level of hygiene. Dust and dirt collect between the turns of wire, which can be difficult to remove. In this situation, solutions based on household detergents come to the rescue. In addition, such braiding hardens in winter and practically does not warm up, and you have to wear gloves to drive a car.
Braided braids were previously used on domestic cars and were characterized by abrasion resistance, but in winter it is not very convenient to drive such a steering wheel
Useful braids
You can make a steering wheel cover yourself, and the product will be not only beautiful, but also useful. To make it more comfortable, massage inserts are made on the outside
In addition to convenience, they will ensure better blood circulation in the fingers and palms, which is important for long trips. You can install heating under a homemade braid
This function will be especially relevant when operating the car in winter in Russian conditions. You can control the heated steering wheel using a button located on the instrument panel.
How to choose a steering wheel braid: main models
There are two fundamentally different types of braids: in the form of a cover or a laced braid.
A cover is the simplest and most common option. Sold immediately in the form of a steering wheel with a cardboard insert that supports the geometry. This is very convenient if the size of the steering wheel is unknown: you can simply attach the braid in the package to the steering wheel and make sure whether it fits or not. This model is put on the steering wheel by applying light force in a few seconds; this is considered a major advantage. Important: the braid in the form of a cover must be selected strictly according to the size of the steering wheel. If the braid size is larger than necessary, it may slip during rotation, which is dangerous. A braid with a smaller diameter can be damaged when applied to the handlebars. And in some cases it is not possible to wear it at all.
Laced braid options have two subtypes. One is sewn up with a needle and thread, the second is attached to the steering wheel with a cord. The main drawback is the rather lengthy process of installing the braid on the steering wheel. It also takes some skill and dexterity to lace the braid correctly and without damage. But the main advantage is a more aesthetic appearance and ease of use.
Do I need to modify anything during installation?
In any case, no matter which option you choose, you will also have to configure the transmission speed sensor. If this is not done, then when starting from a stop and at low speeds you will not notice any changes. That is, it will still be difficult to turn the steering wheel. And only when you pick up high speed, the steering wheel will give in to you with less resistance.
And if there is no speed sensor, then it must be installed. Here's what it should be: 6-pulse pass-through from 214 Niva (usually included with the factory electric amplifier)
In addition, some other changes will need to be made to the design. Here they are:
- take another choke cable (included with the electric booster from the VAZ 2108) and move it;
- replace the gearbox - take one so that it has a short worm shaft, but the bipod remains original;
- if the VAZ 2107 has a contact ignition system, then you need to install a MUR1100E diode.
Selecting the right size braid
There are two parameters by which the size of the braids is determined. The first is the diameter of the steering wheel, the second is the width of the rim circumference. If you don’t know the parameters of the steering wheel in your car, then there is one correct solution. Take a tape measure, sit in the car and measure the steering wheel. All is ready. Now you have all the necessary data on hand. If the car is not near you or you are buying a braid as a gift for someone, everything is a little more complicated.
The most common size of steering wheels on modern cars is M, that is, medium. In numbers it is 37-39 cm in diameter. More on girth width later. Almost all European and Japanese sedans, minivans and crossovers have an M-size steering wheel. Compact city runabouts are most often equipped with S-size steering wheels, and American cars are equipped with L-size steering wheels. Therefore, if you do not know exactly the dimensions of the steering wheel for which you are going to purchase a braid, then it is better In total, take size M. A braid of this size will fit well on both larger and smaller steering wheels.
Materials
Purpose and installation of electric power steering on a VAZ 2107
The foam covers are soft and comfortable to hold. At the same time, they are short-lived, which is why they require frequent replacement.
Webbed braid models massage the palms well. During a long journey, this relaxing property will come in handy. But they do not allow moisture to pass through, so your hands may sweat. And with active driving, calluses often appear on the palms.
Comfortable braids with a gel base are pleasant to hold, but stiffen and become stale in cold weather.
The best braid option for the steering wheel is leather. They are more expensive, but the high price in this case is justified.
Replacing the steering wheel
You can do your own tuning of the interior of a VAZ 2114 by upgrading the existing steering wheel using a factory braid. This will not only improve the appearance of the steering wheel, but will also ensure good hand contact with its surface. Leather can be used as a material. You can purchase and install a new steering wheel, both those made by popular global manufacturers, and those created by representatives of handicraft workshops.
The safest is the steering wheel installed by the manufacturer. This is what is developed for a specific model; this steering wheel passes all tests and meets the standards. However, if you want to tune the interior of the VAZ 2114, you can install a larger or smaller steering wheel.
It should be noted that installing a non-original steering wheel may require force to rotate, which will affect controllability, this will be especially noticeable in critical situations. Such changes may create certain difficulties during technical inspection.
If the steering wheel is being replaced, you must first disconnect the negative cable terminal from the battery terminal. After the key is removed from the ignition, the steering wheel should be turned until the locking device is engaged.
Markings must be made on the steering wheel and instrument panel. The signal switch cover cover must be pryed off with a screwdriver to allow it to be removed. You need to get rid of the fasteners by using a Phillips screwdriver, this will help dismantle the cover. Using a 24mm socket, you need to unscrew the steering wheel mounting nut a few turns. Rocking movements will allow you to dismantle the steering wheel along the shaft splines.
If it does not give in, then there is no way to do it without the help of a second master. One will have to pull the steering wheel towards himself, and the second will have to strike the end of the shaft with a hammer. In this case, you need to use a drift made of soft metal.
Once the nut is removed, the steering wheel can be removed. Now you need to align the two wheels with each other in order to transfer the mark made earlier. Installation of a new wheel must be done in the reverse order. To ensure that the fastening nut does not fall out of the head when mounted on the shaft, it is necessary to install a wire of the required diameter, placing it between the nut and the head.
The nut must be tightened, the head removed and the wire removed, after which the fasteners can be tightened. A situation may arise in which the steering wheel spokes, when the car moves straight along a horizontal platform, will not be positioned symmetrically. In this case, you need to stop the car, remove the steering wheel and install it correctly, and then check the accuracy of the work while driving.
We remove the old steering wheel.
What is the diameter of the center hole of a car wheel?
First, fix the steering wheel straight and align the front wheels, then remove the minus terminal from the battery.
We disconnect the car signal connector, and after that we unscrew all the screws of the steering column casings and remove the lower cover of the steering column trim.
After removing the lower steering column casing, you need to unlock and lower the steering column adjustment lever and then remove the upper steering column casing.
Using a screwdriver, remove the decorative trim on the signal, unscrew all the fastenings of the signal button and pull it out.
Using a socket wrench, unscrew the steering wheel mounting nut, but not completely.
If you do not have a puller, then you can use your hands to apply several blows towards you on the steering wheel, unscrew the nut and remove the car steering wheel.
Next, we change the steering wheel, removing the decor and the horn button, after securing the steering wheel, unscrew the nut and take out the steering wheel, remove the steering wheel cover too, and attach it to the new steering wheel.
What kind of steering wheel can I install?
If you decide to replace your old steering wheel, it means that its appearance did not suit you in some way. Of course, the issue may be a breakdown or external damage, however, even in this case, you should consider installing third-party models. What if you like one of them much more than the previous steering wheel?
Sports models
When tuning their iron horses, car enthusiasts often look at sports steering wheels. Their appearance helps create the image of a fashionable racing car. The sports steering wheel has a smaller diameter than a regular steering wheel, which significantly improves maneuverability. In addition, it saves space inside the car. And various design options give room for creativity when styling the rest of the interior.
The design of a sports steering wheel can refresh the interior of the car
Unfortunately, sports steering wheel models have as many disadvantages as advantages. It is not as safe in a collision as the stock steering wheel. Its construction uses metal, so upon impact, the risk of serious injury increases. In addition, sports steering wheels are not equipped with airbags.
To install such a steering wheel you will need special adapters. They can be divided into two categories:
- cast;
- corrugated.
Moreover, the latter are much safer, since in the event of an accident they can fold up and absorb part of the energy.
The corrugated adapter for the sports steering wheel can fold upon impact, therefore it is considered injury-proof
Buy a sports steering wheel from trusted stores and from well-known manufacturers. Make sure you have the appropriate certificate. A poor-quality steering wheel, even with a corrugated adapter, can play a cruel joke on you if you get into an accident.
Steering wheels from other VAZ car models
Steering wheels from more modern models of VAZ cars, such as Lada Priora, Kalina or Granta, look prettier and are much more comfortable in the hands. Installing them will not be difficult, provided that you replace not only the steering wheel itself, but also the steering column column. Otherwise, the hub size will not match.
The Lada Kalina steering wheel looks more stylish and presentable than the standard part from a VAZ 2114 or 2115
Read on to learn how to choose the right steering wheel for the VAZ 2114 and VAZ 2115.
What you need to know when installing
Please note that not every steering wheel is suitable for installation on VAZ 2114 and VAZ 2115 cars. You need to choose a steering wheel with the same contact group as the original part.
choose a steering wheel with the same contact group as that of the VAZ 2114 and 2115
This is quite easy to do if you plan to install a steering wheel from other VAZ models. For example, a steering wheel with a Europanel from a VAZ 2110 is ideal for these purposes.
If you have chosen a Lada Kalina car, then its steering wheel should be marked 1118–3402010. With it you will also have to install the upper casing marked 2110–3403070–30, as well as the lower casing 2110–3403072–30.
To install a non-standard steering wheel on a VAZ 2114, use the steering shaft housing 2110–12
If you like sports models, then you will have to purchase a special adapter designed for VAZ 2113–2115 cars. This adapter is installed on the steering shaft, and the steering wheel is mounted on top. An adapter model suitable for this purpose is PROSPORT RS-04282.
for installing a sports steering wheel on VAZ 2114 and 2115 cars, the PROSPORT RS-04282 adapter is suitable
Required Tools
To remove a standard steering wheel and then install another one, you will need:
- Screwdriver Set;
- knob;
- socket heads;
- cloth, napkins for cleaning dust.
It will be useful to prepare a metal blank and a hammer, since there is a possibility that the wheel will not be easily removed from the central shaft.
- Tuning VAZ 2111: options for modifying the body, interior and engine
Modernization of interior elements
If you do the VAZ 2114 tuning yourself, you can upgrade the interior lighting. You can choose a more modern device as a light source. Instead of the traditional one, you can install a lampshade that has a programmable LED lamp. This interior lighting has expanded functionality. For example, you can select one of three brightness modes, which will be possible by switching at intervals of 1 second, while the system will remember the last time it was turned on. You can set it to delay turning off after 6-8 seconds, followed by a smooth shutdown of the lamp. If the door is not closed or poorly closed, the lighting will turn off after half an hour.
First, the plastic diffuser of the “native” lampshade is dismantled. The wires are disconnected from the contacts, the fasteners that are responsible for fixing the device body are removed, this will allow the body to be dismantled. The LED component must be removed from the plastic cover. The electrical wiring must be connected to the plugs of the illuminator according to the diagram. The new body of the device must be fixed to the ceiling in the appropriate place, using the same screws. Now the diffuser can be mounted on the body.
Tuning a VAZ 2114 car often involves changing the seats or reupholstering them. The upholstery can be made of almost any material, but the leather interior of a VAZ will look much better than one made of material installed at the factory. To reupholster the chairs, you must first dismantle them. After this, you can remove the old covers and loosen the steel clamps on the back.
The covers must be cut into separate elements, which will allow the dimensions to be transferred to a new material, which can be used, for example, Alcantara or, as already noted, leather. If you decide to use Alcantara, then you need to take into account that it has a short pile, which is directed in one direction, which you will have to pay attention to at the time of cutting.
The waist can be reinforced with foam rubber sheets, for which you should use sheets that have a thickness of 5 mm. The elements of the covers should be glued onto foam rubber, the components sewn together and put on the seats. After tuning the VAZ 2114, photos of the interior can be posted on specialized websites and experience can be shared.
The old steering wheel has been removed and we are moving on to installing a new steering wheel.
We set the steering column switch to the neutral position, while the spokes should be in a horizontal position.
Turn the turn signal switch ring. the pin should fit into the groove of the ring.
After this, tighten the nut and connect the electronics. Reconnect the minus terminal to the battery.
And lastly, check if the horn and steering column switch are working.
The work of replacing the VAZ 2114 steering wheel can be considered completed. It is better to start testing a new steering wheel on a test drive, since you will still need to get used to it a little, because it is still different in size from the previously installed one.
But remember that the steering wheel installed by the manufacturer is considered the most reliable, because it was designed specifically for the VAZ 2114 and has passed test drives and fully meets all standards than a steering wheel produced by another company.
The installation of a new steering wheel should be approached very responsibly, because the steering wheel is one of the most important mechanisms of the car and is responsible for your safety.

Professional car care includes polishing the body, glass, headlights, and deep cleaning of the interior. To refresh the color of the car, eliminate cloudiness, small cobwebs, you can polish the body. It is suitable for pre-sale preparation of vehicles. The car is polished.
The car is, of course, a very fragile thing, even though it consists of metal. For example, the paintwork, which in many ways makes the basis for the attractive appearance of the car, is always subject to deformation, since both stones and sand that grind the paint hit the body while driving. Of course.
Euro handles are used to improve the appearance of the car and for its comfort. For example, if you have already installed tuning elements on your car, then with ordinary standard handles the overall appearance of your VAZ 2109 car will look unfinished. This kind of tuning may be relevant, etc.

Tuning the interior trim
Vinyl leatherette is most often used as an alternative upholstery material. It is better to choose the main color in advance. We advise you to buy coverage with a reserve.
Before starting work, you also need to prepare a set of necessary tools and materials:
- vinyl artificial leather (you can choose any other suitable one);
- knife or cutter;
- strong threads;
- a simple sewing kit (ideally, work on a sewing machine);
- scissors;
- pencil;
- construction stapler;
- good glue.
The easiest item to replace is the sun visor, so that's a good place to start. The part is removed from the fastenings and the standard upholstery is removed by separating it along the seam. A piece of new material will be cut along the top and bottom. When cutting, you need to step back from the outlined boundaries by one centimeter; this margin will be used for seam allowances. You also need to leave some more space - approximately 0.3-0.4 cm from the same contour line - in order to pull the cover over the visor.
Using a sewing machine, the two parts are sewn together. This can be done without a machine, but in this case the operating time will increase significantly. The seam should be on the wrong side. Leave part of the contour line unsewn, since the product must be turned out through this hole and pulled onto the visor, after which the free space is sewn on the outside. The visors are installed in place, now you can move on to other elements of the interior.
Replacing door trim
Door cards can also be transformed by replacing them with an alternative material. This is no more difficult to do than the previous procedure with visors. The scheme is similar. The door cards are removed, and the standard upholstery is removed using a utility knife. This contour is applied and outlined on the wrong side of the vinyl leather, after which the pattern is cut out with the same margin of one centimeter along the edge.
A staple gun should be used to attach to door cards. However, standard staples will not work, since the card is too thin and they will pierce right through it. For work, it is better to choose staples with number 8. Vinyl leatherette is attached to the back of the doors with a stapler. If the staples do come out, they can be removed by cutting them off with ordinary office scissors. Next, all that remains is to install the door card in place. On the other doors everything is done in the same way.
Replacing the roof sheathing
The procedure is largely similar in processing all other elements. The only inconvenience is the labor-intensive nature of such work, which takes a lot of time and effort. But you can always do not everything at once, but gradually.
The process goes like this. The roof is measured and, based on the results obtained, a contour is drawn on a piece of vinyl leatherette. After this, the material is glued to the roof (a stapler will not work, the upholstery is practically in contact with the metal). It is possible to first remove the old upholstery, or you can stick the new one directly on it. It is recommended to use the second option: dismantling the ceiling cladding will significantly complicate the replacement process, and it will not bring practical benefit.
For a more attractive appearance of the interior, you can replace the lighting with LED. It is worth changing the lampshade itself along with this. You can tune the interior trim yourself using inexpensive materials and the simplest tools. Creating a leather interior is done in a similar way, only you need to use leather glue.
Complete interior tuning
It's easy to replace the trim inside the car, but what about the seats? After all, they will remain with regular fabric upholstery, and this combination will not look very attractive. It is unrealistic to reupholster the chairs yourself, so you can use the economy option and buy covers made of the same or similar material. More advanced owners of the VAZ 2114 solve the issue radically and change the seats completely, often choosing sports seats of the “bucket” type.
To replace the casing, you can contact a service center and actually perform this procedure yourself. To do this, you only need a set of wrenches. There will be no difficulties with dismantling. The audio system cannot be called a tuning element, but installing a modern car radio with a touch screen will significantly decorate the center console of the VAZ 2114. You can complement the interior tuning with alternative dashboard lighting, a leather steering wheel cover (preferably in the same color as the overall upholstery).
