the damn thing isn't visible through the holes in the steering wheel either, and it's backwards from what I'm used to....

top button is for decrease/set

side button is for on/off

bottom button is accel/cancel...weird huh....
Actually, I thought I had factory cruise control but that sounds like what I have, which I now suspect is a Rostra Precision Controls Inc. aftermarket set-up...does it look like this?



Plus, if that is aftermarket, what does the factory set-up look like?

BTW, the Rostra has been discussed before...

you may need the wire to connect it to the clockspring.


top pictures are from the corolla... assuming it will be some what similar to the yaris.
i think the part number for that wire is 84633-42030

I think the pic of the one I Bought showed a wire with it. If not Ill just make one, no biggie.

The guy told me it shipped but no tracking #? is that because its USPS?

Pulling the cover was a piece of cake. Changed out my steering wheel to a Scion and the install took me 20 minutes. To disable the airbag, I disconnected the battery the night prior. Check here on the forum, I can't for the life of me remember who did this first but they did a good write up on how to. It really pointed out battery disconnect and prying the wires for complete airbag removal.

Yeah. its just two T30 torx bits on each side of the steering wheel. then just pull the horn/airbag off, be careful not to deploy the airbag and dont disconnet the airbag when battery is still connected. Its recommended to disconnect the battery and wait 60seconds or so to discharge power. I just wanted to check whats behind the steering wheel so i didn't disconnect the battery. Took less then 5mins to take out.

Airbag pullers: its very easy. Make sure the battery is disconnected for a few minutes (I think the manual says 3-6, I waited 10), then use the CORRECT torx driver to remove the 2 side-bolts (you'll need one with a bit of reach), and it might take a decent tug to break the bolt initially, but then its easy). You should matchmark your wheel before you pull it. You shouldn't need a wheel pullet, just tug back-and-forth till it comes off. If you move your closckspring at all, read the directions on how to reset it. Its not hard, but needs to be done right or it will be an EXPENSIVE repair, and might set-off the airbag when you are turning. This is not a process to be afraid of, just take your time and know the steps. BTW - the "clockspring" is the name for the circular plastic unit behind the steerign wheel that allows all the wires to reach the steering wheel/cruise/airbag/horns and still spin the steering wheel round-and-round, where some very old vehicles ran the wires through a hollow center shaft.

The problem I am having are the torx screws on the side ... they seem really hard to get off lol. But then again I was using a regular screw driver ... would a torque wrench do it? Or should I be using more force?
