As long as you don't have a problem removing airbags and making sure that the steering wheel is perfectly straight when you remove it (eg: having a shop with a level floor to work in), it's really very easy. I swapped a EX Coupe steering wheel for the Si and it took about 45 minutes with me being extra careful. Good luck---

 

Swap Steering Wheel From 06 Civic Sedan LX to Si Model

I was looking to save money and not go with the leather wrapped and also because it tends to be harder to clean. I went with the non leather one looks just as good.

The air bag is universal works on both wheels and is easy to remove as long as you have the right tool to remove the star bolt. Two bolts one on each side, you will need to loan a steering wheel puller from a local auto parts store Autozone loans them for free but you need to pay a small deposit which you will get back once you return it.

I just disconnected the wired components first then pulled the whole wheel off, and make sure you start with a perfectly straight steering wheel and use the arrows as your guide. It does not take long but man it really makes a difference with the looks of the inside. I agree the three spoke rocks.

Lol... that was 2.5 years ago.

Thanks, but I've been using my leather wrapped steering wheel for a while and pretty happy with it.

 

My Bad

I did not bother to look at the post date, and that's very funny it was 2.5 years ago, so I was a little late!!!

Just wanted to help a Honda Brother out!!

Thanks for the heads up..

About 4 years later!

Can I swap a newer version steering wheel such at this.
2010 11 Honda Civic Sedan Factory Steering Wheel Cruise Audio Control Switch | eBay

to my 2009 honda civic coupe lx for the purpose of the radio controls on the steering wheel?

 

Yes. All 8thgen wheels are interchangeable.

Takes 10 minutes to swap.

 

Will swapping a steering wheel with cruise and volume buttons into a dx that doesn’t have cruise, will the cruise now just work?

 

Physically interchangeable sure, but are the plugs the same as the "two spoke" steering wheel with the same functions?? (cruise/audio/voicenav) ???

 

Yes..

 

Wow, super old thread. Pretty easy swap. The connector is definately the same. Can't say I'm 100% sure about the controls fitment from one bezel to another it the pinning in from one connector to another.

 

not old, ancient!!!

yeah, almost 7 years old. Sorry. Anyway, sounds as though it's just plug and play. If so, TOTAL WIN!!!!

Anyway, currently 2 active threads on this. I'll be posting updates on this one:

I feel so stupid that I didn't realize this mod was possible. Never even thought of it............. oh well. :dancingcoolsmiley:

 

I wonder if it's possible to do it with a 3rd gen CR-V steering wheel?

 

Without modification, the 3rd gen CR-V EX-L will work in the 09-11 Civic EX-L, Si & Hybrid.

You can also make it work by swapping other parts in the DX, LX & EX. ...I'm using 09 TSX parts to accomplish what I wanted...

 

I had asked a question about this back in '09.

The answer is definitely YES to the 2-spoke to 3-spoke conversion. I did this on my '07 EX sedan with a used SI 3-spoker (from an '06, which would have been a coupe). The plug was a direct swap - no need to move pins/wires.

 

Yes, I've swap my Si steering wheel with my gf's LX for less than an hour.

 

New user found this site very helpful, I have 2008 honda si and im trying to by a wood grain steering wheel i know i need a quick realease and a hub adaptor but im wondering if there is certain things i need or something?

 

Anyone know if the CSX wheel air bag the same as 2010 civics??

 

Only difference is the symbol on the cover.

 

Actually after my last post I did end up putting oem cruise control in my dx with volume controls as well. All that’s needed for the cruise is to run 3 wires from the back of the clock spring to the junction block connector under the dash. And 3 more wires from the junction block connector to the tach cluster. There’s 1 more wire that runs from the back of the clock spring to another connector in the underdash junction block connector. It’s for the leds in the controls. And a ground wire Other than that you do need to replace the brake pedal switch. If you unplug the connector and look at the terminals in the switch The dx has 2 terminals and the lx or ex has 4 terminals. So you need the 4 terminal brake switch. The dx is already wired for the 4 terminal brake switch so nothing more to do there.

I got all my parts from the scrap yard.Steering wheel with controls (or just the controls If you want to swap them over to your own wheel), brake switch, and a few wires is all you’ll need.

I ended up taking the whole dash harness out of the scrap car, un taping it all and just keeping the wires that came off the back of the clock spring connector. Also you do not need a new clock spring. The dx one already has the right one. All the terminals are there already on it.

it is actually very easy to install factory cruise in these cars

 

Wow, that's awesome! I'm still looking and it seems to me that you MIGHT be the first successful member to install one (unless someone else did and it's undocumented). Good info! Thanks!

 

Anybody know if the 10th gen accord steering wheel would fit on the 9th gen?

 

Probably not, someone tried to fit a 9th gen Si steering wheel to an 8th gen and 1) bolts were different size, 2) Radio/Cruise controls have to be rewired, 3) different airbag. With all these problems solved, you can probably get ANY wheel (honda) to fit. An Accord, my guess would be most likely not.
