Product characteristics and installation

The offered module comes from a used vehicle, which allows for an economical replacement of the element while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Placement in the front part of the vehicle, directly on the steering wheel, facilitates installation using standard workshop procedures. On the service side, it is important to follow safety procedures related to working with airbag systems and to adhere to the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines.

Why choose an original module for the BMW X5 E70

Using an original steering wheel airbag module in the BMW X5 E70 allows for maintaining the consistency of the safety system with the vehicle's factory settings. Precise fit to the steering wheel and steering column reduces the risk of mounting play and incorrect positioning of the airbag. For the user, this means maintaining the ergonomics of steering wheel operation and the correct functioning of the horn, if the module design is integrated with it.
