{"product_id":"bmw-slip-ring-5","title":"Original BMW Steering Wheel Slip Ring (Airbag Clockspring) for BMW 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, M5, and M6 (2002–2008)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Original BMW slip ring, which BMW names a coil spring cartridge, is the coiled electrical connector inside the steering wheel that links the driver's airbag, horn, and wheel-mounted controls to the car's wiring harness on 2002–2008 BMW 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, M5, and M6 models. It keeps those circuits connected while the wheel turns freely from lock to lock. The part belongs to the SRS system and carries the circuit for the steering wheel airbag. A failing unit usually shows up in one of three ways. The airbag warning light comes on because the connection to the driver's airbag is lost. Radio or cruise control buttons on the wheel stop responding. The horn goes quiet when the circuit through the clockspring breaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis number entered production in September 2006 and replaces the earlier 61-31-0-422-231. BMW marks the change as exchangeable retrospectively, so the current cartridge also suits cars built before 2006 that left the factory with the older number. A second cross-reference, 61-31-0-152-682, also points to this part. The same cartridge serves the E60 sedan and E61 wagon, the E63 coupe and E64 convertible, and the E65, E66, and E67 7 Series. BMW gives its weight as 148 g, and the part is made in the Czech Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW (genuine part)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 61-31-9-129-499\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: coil spring cartridge (steering wheel slip ring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 148 g (0.3 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: September 2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces 61-31-0-422-231, exchangeable retrospectively\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso cross-referenced to 61-31-0-152-682\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the Czech Republic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually as one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy car came with 61-31-0-422-231.
