How to route wires to steeringwheel

[Anduinlight]

Alright
Matt and I today were talking about how nice it would be to have a heated steering wheel. Well we kinda talked about how we would be able to do it, like having a sorta cover with a heated coil or whatever. Anyways we could not figure out how we could have wires run to the steering wheel. Not to but how could we have somthing wire drivin on somthing that moves around a whole lot.
My question it how could somone put a heater, or steering wheel stereo controls ect. on their wheel when it moves? I don't have any clue except have enough slack in the wire to be able to move along with the wheel when it turns. i Know that on say other cars the have steering wheel stereo control and Cruise controls ect on their wheel
If anybody has any Ideas on how to do this, me and Matt would greatly apriciate it :)
thank

It's called a clock spring and all cars have one. It wires up the airbag/horn/etc. but I would be pretty nervous about F'ing with the SRS system.

I have an old one you could take apart and dick around with, or Lightning GSX might be able to build you a custom one ;)

Gloves? ;)

Yea I was thinking about that too. 1QUICK4 is right, basically the postive connection could ride on a tab against the steering wheel touching another peice thats stationary on the console. Both peice would be seperate but have tension against each other to keep a connection.

You could disable the horn and use the existing wiring that way. The horn is likely the ground. So just reverse it and it should work.

alright
just as a side note. Both Matt and I have 1g's (no airbag)
and, I am having a really hard time visualizing what exactly you guys are explaining (I might take you up on that whole borrowing a disected one) but i'm still not seeing it :(

Basically something like that^^. The Left side is fixed and ussually the other side has a ball bearing on a spring that rotates around the hub creating a contact point.

That is just one way, many different cars have different setups. If I were you just take a look under your horn cover and check it out for yourself, just pull the steering wheel off and youll understand, its hard to explain.
