In this tutorial, you will see how to remove the steering wheel airbag in an Audi A7. Before proceeding, it is important to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, as accidental activation can be very dangerous. Once done, turn the steering wheel 90 degrees in either direction, then, using a flathead screwdriver, press the metal clip located at the back of the steering wheel.

Once that side is released, turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction and release the other clip as well. At this point, you can extract the airbag and disconnect the rear power connector.
