With the demise of my Yaris (wife wrote it off) I bought a 2011 Matrix. No Yaris available at the time & the rental from insurance running out.
Is this DIY modification possible on the 2011 Matrix?

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the only thing needed on the Matrix (2006 and up I believe) is the stalk. Everything else is pre-wired.

I was considering trading in the Yaris for a Matrix for some time and this was one of my wonders as well.

I do not know about setting up a custom switch alternative to the stalk using the instructions in the thread though.

I hope your right.

The "custom switch" set-up was my intention.

The Matrix uses the same stalk, so the custom switch method will work as well.
