I didn't sell you the steering wheel, hehe! At any rate, yes you need a new steering wheel coil. I can help you out with that.

can i use the same airbag from 2006? or do i need to go with a newer one from 2012-13 as well? plus this doesn't make any sense, after swapping the harness from my old steering wheel, i can't see why this wouldn't work just the same, the only thing that i can't use will be the buttons on the steering wheel, which doesn't bother me. does this make any sense to you? so why would i need a sir coil? (just asking)

Thanks for replying.

When you upgrade to a 2008 and newer wheel you need the wheel and clock spring only. It is possible you could have damaged your clock spring wiring. No airbag is needed, but you could have damaged something to do with that as well.
do a thread search on the swap. Helped a lot when I did my wheel swap on my old "05 back a few years ago.
I did, i even talked to Dennis over at Double D mods. even he said its weird. i took the old harness in installed it on the new wheel because of the connector issue, after doing all that, i plugged in together put the airbag back on, but no horn sound. anyhow, ill keep looking to see what i can find out. thanks for replying my friend
As a matter of fact yes!!! All I did is swap out the harness along with the plastic housing connectors and installed it on the new steering wheel to plug into the SIR coil. Everything works great. No SIR coil swap no new airbag. Sorry I should of posted the swap earlier. Thanks for reminding me. I did take pics and I will explain everything I did to help out others.
