Swapping steering wheel

My car has the four spoke steering wheel I'm thinking of changing it for one of the more modern looking 3 spoke wheels .
Is it an easy enough job to change it over and would it trigger the air bag light ?
Thanks
 
Easy to change and if you disconnect the battery 30 minutes before you disconnect the airbag it won't trigger a light.
 
Key in position 1 before you disconnect battery otherwise it fires off the alarm.
Changed my 4 spoke to a 3. No issues
 
It triggered the air bag light on my 993 when I changed the wheel to a 996 type.

Does anyone know if the air bag wiring is compatible between the two wheels/models?

My service man suggested there could be a mismatch between the models when I asked if he could reset the light (didn't have the car with me at the time to try).
 
If you had the battery disconnected and swapped them over and then had the airbag light on .. with probably a fault code for drivers head airbag then i would guess the resistances of both airbags are different ... car thinks there is a problem as it's not the correct resistance .

Either that or its not fully plugged in .

I don't know the set resistances of each airbag unit but that is the logical conclusion as nothing else could have caused the light to come on .
