Steve (Echo_hrs) bought a JDM Yaris steering wheel with the audio controls and connected it to his aftermarket radio using one of the PAC steering wheel control modules. If you don't have cruise control installed you have two extra wires in the clockspring that can be used. If you have cruise, a JDM or 3rd generation Yaris clockspring has the extra wires required to run both cruise and audio controls.

I am not sure about the 2012+ steering wheel fit on a 2nd gen Yaris, but I am almost positive that the clockspring would work.

hi scott, i know this is an old thread. but after thorough searching online and in yw, I've come to conclude that if the clockspring connector below the column (white 10-pin/12-pin, the one beside the yellow one for the airbag) only has an X number of wires, then there are also X number of connections you can make with the connector to the steering wheel itself.
Example, if i have only 3 wires there, and since one of them is for the horn, i can only use the other 2 for steering wheel audio controls, bluetooth or cruise control. Is this accurate? I mean, can we not "pin" the white connector below the column and also pin the connector on the steering wheel? in other words, does the clockspring ribbon have wires inside for this? |

Keep in mind that the cruise control also goes through the clockspring. I keep planning to tap into that clock spring connector to design a clever way to use the cruise control arm as steering wheel controls when the cruise control is not in use but just haven't had the time.
