I bought my 6g and it had already been in a crash, so the steering wheel is not in good shape. I'd like to replace the airbag in it, but I'm concerned that might not be legal to do myself. If it is OK, is it a fairly straightforward procedure?

well if you haven't gotten a new ecu, make sure you unplug it first! it's right under the center console. You have to remove the shifter surround and then the center console. The trim piece pops off and the center console comes off with 4 screws and 2 bolts. Once that's off the ECU for the airbags is right there. You can just unplug it and leave it and not having to worry about the new airbag going off. You can take a out with a t40 or t50 driver. I deleted my whole airbag system lol No wires for the airbags at all
