Steering Wheel Radio Controls via Scion Wheel? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Anyone know if the Scion TC steering wheel is a bolt on replacement for our steering wheel (08 LB)?

I'm using a Scion t1814 HU in my car now, and I was looking at this and thinking I could find the harness to run and utilize steering controls by bolting on something like this:

CTScott??? (Or anyone else?)

I have a Scion TC leather steering wheel with a Yaris airbag cover on Crashy. It fits reasonably. To use the TC steering wheels controls you would also need the TC airbag. Also, the Yaris spiral cable doesn't have enough wires for both cruise control and steering wheel controls, so you would either have to choose between the two, or purchase a 2012 spiral cable (which I believe will fit) and which has enough wires for both.

So to recap, for full functionality:

Buy a TC steering wheel with controls
Buy 2012 spiral cable
Buy TC Airbag

For just audio, no new spiral cable needed.

Correct?

Correct on all, but assuming that the 2012 spiral cable will fit, as no one has tried it yet,

gotcha. airbag is a little pricey for me just for the controls. Hmm.
