“Fucking basin. "
Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.
Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY!

It doesn’t matter which one, the remote control that came with the radio or a purchased universal remote control, the meaning of installing it is still the same.
The operating principle of the audio remote control is similar to the TV remote control. That is, an IR signal receiver is installed on the radio, and an IR LED is installed on the remote control, which sends this IR signal.
Accordingly, the problems are the same:
- The IR LED on the remote control should be aimed approximately towards the receiver
- Change batteries in the remote control

It would probably be stupid to switch the music while turning, so it’s worth considering controlling the car radio with the steering wheel in a straight position.

Sports models
Tuning enthusiasts want to make their car as individual as possible, and therefore they rush to install decorative trims on it, change body kits and bumpers, and attach steering wheels from famous brands of racing cars. The result is a fashionable car that attracts the attention of passers-by. By reducing the diameter of the steering wheel, the maneuverability of the car increases, there is enough space inside the car for a comfortable fit.

For models 2113, 2114, 2115, copies from more modern representatives of the domestic ones, Kalina, Grant, are suitable. They are more convenient and have an aesthetically attractive appearance. Installation of such products requires replacing the steering column column. The “steering wheel” from model 2110 fits perfectly.
What you should know when choosing a steering wheel
When changing the steering wheel on VAZ-2114 and 2115 cars, you need to select a similar product with an identical contact group. The diameter of the control element affects the quality of vehicle control. The smaller the size, the more effort required when driving.
Choosing the right steering wheel is not an easy task. In cases with non-original products, the installation process may take some time, taking into account the selection of appropriate components. It all depends on the desires and capabilities of the car owner himself.
Installation Rules
Installing the steering wheel is a dismantling process in reverse order. If you can handle the removal, then you will be able to install it.
- Installation begins by transferring the mark from the old steering wheel to the new one. Be extremely precise: the correctness of further control of the machine depends on this. The mark on the new part should be exactly in the same place as on the previous one.
- Put the steering wheel back in place. Make sure that the mark on it and on the front panel match the same as in the case of the old part.
- Replace the central nut and tighten it. If it does not fit tightly in the socket head, insert the wire strands between them. When the nut is in place, remove the wires and secure the nut tightly.
- Replace the steering wheel cover and tighten all screws.
- Make sure the steering wheel is straight. If even a slight displacement is observed, the part will have to be reinstalled.
- Replace the battery terminals and test your new steering wheel by driving it away from major roads. At first, its diameter may be unusual, but the ease of driving should remain the same.
if the nut falls out of the socket, use the wire strands
The most difficult thing in the process of replacing the steering wheel on a VAZ 2114 and 2115 is choosing the right parts. Pay attention to the markings on the steering wheel, covers and, if necessary, adapters. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace the steering column switches. But dismantling and installing a new steering wheel itself will not cause you any particular difficulties if you strictly follow all the instructions.
Adjusting the steering wheel position
If you don’t like the height and position of the steering wheel, then you will need to grind the edges of the shaft to the size you need or install gaskets between the plate and the body. It is worth remembering that the electric power steering is automatically switched off at speeds above 50 km/h, unlike the same power steering.
Installing electric power steering on your own is quite possible. You just have to remember that even for an experienced driver it will take a lot of time and effort. But for a lover of comfortable driving, the result will justify all costs and hopes.
