Steering wheel upgrade with controls

[kameleon]

I have a hairbrained idea and I would like some input. I have a 2000 SR5 with stock radio. I am about to be upgrading to an aftermarket setup that can interface with stock steering wheel controls, with appropriate adapter of course. What I am wondering is, has anyone taken a wheel from another toyota that has the controls and put it in their 4runner and successfully controlled an aftermarket radio with it? If so what all was needed?

I know this is crazy but if this is possible I have a plan to hide the headunit behind a 7" tablet where the radio is currently.

Any input? Besides I'm crazy?

It's very well possible. Shouldn't be too hard to run the wiring, pretty close and its all within the dash. The only issue might be matching up the airbag connectors with a different steering wheel. You may have to check compatibility with later model 4Runners or another Toyota one to see if they will fit into your column.
