OEM Steering Wheel Swaps

[Johns06yota]

I just finished stitching the leather wrap on the steering wheel. I plan to work on the wiring in the next couple days.

I believe this is it. I got it a little over a year ago.

Not doing the airbag. Don't trust them right now. Hooked up Mode control and ground only. Too OCD with everything else, so I'll do the rest once my carport is rebuilt with electrical and lighting. No hurry, I know some of them already work. Alligator clips and hit or miss connections got a few before I stopped and left it alone.

A quick question. I am currently in the process of wiring things up but the wire colors are different. On mine I have a red, grey, brown, and black wire. Were these the same ones that you have? I know you only hooked up mode control but do you remember which wire was for that function?

Oh wait never mind I just got all the wires hooked up and all the controls along with the lights work!

If anyone is interested I just posted all the instructions and pictures from the install in a thread

How’s the steering wheel swap holding up? Any new advice? Did you end up connecting everything else? Thanks!

Did this last weekend. Took all of 5 minutes, minus battery time. Switched out the cruise from the new Taco wheel, harness issue with OEM clockspring. Audio connectors from the wheels are different, so it will require a little metering and soldering, etc., but it should be not too difficult. Just a time, hunt and peck thingy.
Airbag connectors are the same, as is ground/horn wire, but I chose to leave out the airbag for now. No faith in the Tockico crap.
Anyway, it's a straight and easy swap. Got mine off an ebay salvage, still connected to the column, which I had them remove. Oh, and it cost $230, plus shipping. Cheap, and I love the feel of this wheel over the stock by a huge amount.
IF audio controls are the only thing holding people back, well...figure it out you brainy electrical wizards. I know I'll do it sometime. Didn't do this before because my attention and money was directed towards my yamaha's, and my daughter. Cheers, G

Ha. Went through, and still going through actually, a medical crisis. Decided to ditch the old truck and buy a new Red ORP. Restored the wheel to stock. Sorry.
Don't miss it though. Cheers, G

Limited Steering Wheel Swap w/o Controls

I want to swap the SR5 steering wheel to the leather one used in the Limited. I know you can cut the SR5 airbag cover to accommodate the controls, but if I don't have any desire to use the controls can I just remove them and use my unmodified airbag with that wheel? Nothing else should be different, right?
