BMW Air bag blank with chrome ring 51 16 2 497 678 $32.75 retail.

I used number 14 wire for the ground and sender wires. You also need a wire for dimmed lighting and power in accessory run and start. Dimmed lighting is any gray/red wire. Accessory run and start is any violet/whatever color wire. Not whatever color/violet wire.
Not sure if the following works every time. In general any red wire is hot at all times ahead of the fuse. Any red wire/whatever color wire is after the fuse.
Any green wire is hot in run and start ahead of the fuse. Any green/whatever color wire is after the fuse.
Any violet wire is hot in accessory run and start ahead of the fuse. Any violet/whatever color is after the fuse.
If your not sure of what your doing wiring your car, have someone that is, do it.
