Hey all- The airbag system can be deactivated by disconnecting the negative batt. terminal and waiting at least 60 seconds, but please do not attempt this mod w/o proper service manual guidance. It is very simple, but you still have to know the procedure. Also, no pics b/c I'm lazy (not really!) , and also, it is the same leather wheel you can see in countless other pics on the forum- any car with the leather pkg. Gizmo- I responded to "the List" with my info, but here it is again: Vin 1556, Sly, ordered April, Del. Dec. 3, resides in Roanoke, VA. 57 degrees today, top came off, wife wore Santa hat. Life is good
