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.

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.

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.

I just cut a piece of hard rubber, lifted the bottom spoke leather cover of the TC steering wheel and glued it in. I then glued the leather onto the hard rubber. I could have done a better job fitting it with my airbag, but I got lazy and eyeballed it. Looks like the spoke is now touching the airbag, but there's a small gap. |

There's just not too much leather there to begin with on that steering wheel spoke, so I tried to straighten out the gap. If you were to do some fitting beforehand, you can get it to look lots better than I did. Good luck. |

I was considering removing the leather and working on the wheel underneath and then reupholstering.. another option is buying some leather and simple tools and upholstering the steering wheel that I have in my car from scratch.. I saw coupld such projects .. looks doable (it is not in English but pics are self-explanatory.. the guy is using some crappy leather but still gets a decent result) http://avtoperedelka.ucoz.ru/publ/tj...kami/7-1-0-142 |
