wouldnt removing the power from the system, make it so the airbag has no way to trigger ??

i'm thinking of having my wheel swapped out at some point, cuz my wheel is very much like your original, but i wanna hold out for one of those Ebay wheels, with the sectional carbon weave treatments.

since my interior has the factory carbon look inserts having the wheel to match would be a nice upgrade, and i like the look to boot.
