• proper cooperation with the airbag system,
• stable operation of the horn button,
• preservation of the original operating parameters of the steering system.

For fleet users and workshops, it is also important that the original Volkswagen component facilitates diagnostics and subsequent service, as its characteristics are known to the manufacturer's service systems.

Product characteristics and installation

The Volkswagen Transporter T5 Steering Wheel Air Module Unit is a component intended for installation in the existing steering wheel, in the place provided by the manufacturer. The module's construction is prepared for cooperation with factory connectors, which facilitates installation in the standard vehicle configuration.

As a part from the Steering wheels and horn buttons category, the module is an essential element of the entire control system within the steering wheel – from the user's side, it is responsible for the reaction to pressing the horn, and from the technical side, for the correct connection with the airbag system.
