Steering Wheel Controls

[IsLNdbOi]

Bumping an old thread. I'm getting desperate for true steering wheel control. I've already mounted a Sony RM-X4S on my steering column, but now I'm upgrading to a JVC head unit which isn't compatible with the RM-X4S (unlike Pioneer head units).

I've already pm'd CTScott about the possibility of modifying the RM-X4S so it "looks" like a stock Toyota steering wheel control to those aftermarket steering wheel control adapters, but it looks like it would be complicated.

I've been searching and searching and came upon this thread on another forum:

Is it possible that all we'd have to do is switch the airbag cover w/ one from a Yaris that has the audio controls and get a new clock spring + the actual steering controls?

The controls are on the wheel, not on the airbag cover, so you'd need a steering wheel with the controls and the clockspring with the extra wires. If you don't do the OEM cruise control stalk, you could use those two clock spring wires for the radio portion of the controls. Without a 3rd wire you wouldn't have the bluetooth buttons on the wheel functional, but at least the radio ones would be.
