Curious about an upgrade I want to do down the road. Will a Toyota Solara steering wheel work on our cars? I ask because I had a 2006 Solara a while back and it has steering wheel controls I really liked. There is an adapter to make the controls work with the pioneer stereo I have. Will the wheel bolt to the steering column and will the airbag plug in? I checked this thread and it says nothing about it:

The wheel should bolt up but the airbag plug will likely need modification. I vaguely remember something about single stage vs two stage airbags and our airbag ECU can’t deploy a dual stage airbag or something like that. I’m probably way wrong there but I could swear there’s a difference in the airbags in newer cars. As for the audio controls, I did it in our Celica. I used an auto trans IS300 wheel and adapted the shifter buttons to work as audio controls. I’ll post up the specifics later when I get a little more time. thumbsup.gif
