Steering Wheel question - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

heeroyuy01195 · 07-23-2011, 03:42 PM

Well this was supposed to happen a long time ago but unfortunately the guy I was getting the wheel from backed out. I've since put the money towards my other car as I'm trying to just get the damn thing finished already (on-going project since 04'); Yaris is on the back burner now (although it did make out like a bandit and get some goodies out of me before the decision so I've got some stuff I need to install on it).

The airbag cover is completely different on a 2011, so if the spline is still the same it will fit, but you'd also need the complete airbag assembly.

If you have the the complete steering wheel with airbag, will it be a direct bolt on?

I haven't seen the airbag connectors on the 2011 TC yet, to know if it is a direct bolt on and plug and play.

How about the older tC models?

If I got my hands on the tc airbag cover, could I possibly swap it with the yaris airbag cover? In other words, could I use the tc steering wheel and airbag cover but use the yaris airbag? Or would I need the tc airbag and cover? I just don't like the idea of the yaris cover not fitting the tc wheel perfectly (bad case of OCD I guess).

The older TC ones have the same connector, and from a quick search it looks like the 2011 does as well.

As for swapping guts under the cover, there's a thread on here where I show what is involved in doing so. I took apart a popped one, which has none of the danger associated with doing so with a live one.

That would fit, but the airbag is missing. The airbag cover and the horn switch are there, but the airbag itself is not.

Thank you!

I understand that if I buy this one,, that is gonna be sort of gambling whether my airbag fits it ((

You would have to transfer the airbag squib assembly over, since the cover is completely different. It would fit, but moving it over would be very difficult and dangerous.

Thank you!
