Got this today regarding the steering wheel, nothing we didn’t already know but still a bit more depth.
“So the guy from tps got back to me, it can’t be done, the sensors in the lower area can be removed but will mean it will flag up issues on the car. So it’s either carbon with sensors but still round or flat bottom it, without sensors ”
But even today I tested for so long on motorway at 70 with all the functions active and never held on to the steering wheel and got no errors or beeps telling me to hold back onto steering wheel. I even let it bounce of the line and let the lane assist steer me back in about 6 times in a row to test it (don’t worry, no one was watching to think I was drunk.)
