Sure aren't. That would be a cool mod, though.

I believe that require a new air bags too.. since the center piece of our USDM steering wheel is bigger than the one with stereo control.
If airbags involve, that means it will cost you lots of $$$$.

Its euro or something like that, if you get the whole wheel get the airbag with it and pay the extra shipping.

Thats what I was thinking... I read some place that toyota uses all the same wiring for their steros from like 87-present (Except higher end models)... is that true?

since there arent any 1-2yr old yaris's in the US; well atleast my area...

The only one aftermarket I have seen is designed for Pioneer radios. If you are planning to upgrade your sound system in the near future this might be a good alternative for you.

from what ive seen toyota used the same from 2000 up, try finding a Matrix or something like it with the audio controls. The wheels should have the same bolt pattern.

Blaupunkt (a great German audio manufacturer) offer also radio with wireless remote for the steering wheel.

maybe someone should do some digging but could the euro models just have a different horn cover with the controls in it? Maybe its just as easy as replacing the cover.
