There is a procedure to remove the Airbag on YourTube. This will reveal any Batteries that are within the Steering wheel body.

I wish you could still get those kits. Would be a cool upgrade to our cars.

I have changed my steering wheel a couple of times, as well as the airbags, and wheel controls. No batteries found

Having worked on a car with this system I believe there are no batteries.
