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.
Stories from our readers
“Fucking basin. "
Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.
Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY! I also advise you to download the application to your phone, it’s much more convenient to work from your phone. Download here.
It doesn’t matter which one, the remote control that came with the radio or a purchased universal remote control, the meaning of installing it is still the same.
The operating principle of the audio remote control is similar to the TV remote control. That is, an IR signal receiver is installed on the radio, and an IR LED is installed on the remote control, which sends this IR signal.
Accordingly, the problems are the same:
- The IR LED on the remote control should be aimed approximately towards the receiver
- Change batteries in the remote control
For convenient and trouble-free use of such a multi-function steering wheel, you need to take into account these 2 important points when installing the remote control for the radio in the steering wheel.
It would probably be stupid to switch the music while turning, so it’s worth considering controlling the car radio with the steering wheel in a straight position.
Refinement of the car radio remote control
Installing the radio remote control in the steering wheel of a VAZ 2110
The easiest way to control the radio on the steering wheel of a VAZ 2110 is to install the remote control on the steering wheel rim using a standard mount from the kit or using a special bracket. Such a remote control will work, but not everyone is satisfied with the quality of the buttons. Switching melodies and adjusting the volume from the steering wheel remote control does not always happen.
In addition, some still want to build the radio remote control into the steering wheel.
The placement of the remote control itself in the steering wheel of the ten immediately raises the question “Where?” Indeed, there are dozens of places in the steering wheel for placing radio control buttons.
However, there are still ways: Installing radio control buttons with a steering wheel pad :
You will need:
- Plastic trim (for example, a pillar between the windshield and the door)
- Microswitches (buttons)
- Wiring
- Bread board
- Tester, multimeter
- Soldering iron
Installation instructions
When installing an electric power steering, it is necessary to take into account that it will be necessary to replace the steering column of the VAZ 2114 with an “electrically driven column”. To do this, let's start with the wiring. You will need to deal with the pads. There will be no need for any “twists”. There is a terminal in the block that we need to remove and insert into the block in the harness.
We insert the free terminal of the harness exactly into the place where the standard wire was. You don't need a special harness for this. Connect two 4 square wires to the battery. Don't forget to connect a 50A fuse. The “weak point” will connect to the tachometer, speed sensor, ground, K-line and wiring to the warning lamp. Don't forget to check the presence of speedometer and tachometer signals.
- Remove the casing with switches and ignition switch.
- Unscrew the bolt on the rail and remove it. We need to determine how much larger the “native” part is than our new one.
- We install the shaft on the EUR. After this we attach the shaft itself in its place.
- Setting up the wiring. We stretch two cables to the battery from the passenger compartment, preferably through the left wing. To conduct wiring you can:
- First remove the washer fluid reservoir.
- Take a solid wire and drag it through, trying to get to the hood.
- As soon as it appears near the hood, we attach our wires to it.
- We pull it out together with our wire.
- We connect the EUR electronics. There is a red connector under the instrument panel with an orange wire in it. It is to this that you need to connect the electric amplifier.
- Similar procedures must be done with the gray wire.
- We connect the power ends. In the battery we connect the pink one is a plus, and the black one is a minus.
The installation is now complete. If you did everything carefully according to the instructions, you will enjoy the ease of driving the VAZ 2114.
How to remove the steering wheel?
Dismantling the steering wheel on VAZ 2114 and 2115 is carried out using the same method. However, remember that according to the Code of Administrative Offenses, replacing a steering wheel with a steering wheel different from the original is considered illegal modification of the steering structure and vehicle control system. Such tuning falls under Part 2 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses on driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which its operation is prohibited. Recently, traffic police officers have been quite zealous in catching violators of this article, so think carefully before embarking on the replacement process.
Adjusting the steering wheel position
If you don’t like the height and position of the steering wheel, then you will need to grind the edges of the shaft to the size you need or install gaskets between the plate and the body. It is worth remembering that the electric power steering is automatically switched off at speeds above 50 km/h, unlike the same power steering.
Installing electric power steering on your own is quite possible. You just have to remember that even for an experienced driver it will take a lot of time and effort. But for a lover of comfortable driving, the result will justify all costs and hopes.

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:
